well, i found out i did the TC lock right. imma hook it back up tomorrow. i talked to the tranny shop and they highly recommended it.

my stall is ~1800 rpms in first, 3000 in second. sometimes i launch in 2nd for the heck of it. i was able to check it accurately now that i dont have fluid on my brakes.

FINALLY i got my rear axle eal replaced. had trouble tracking down the right socket. my mechanic brother didnt have nothin that small. he said that this kinda floating rear axle was the same as on a semi. i learn something new every day. lol.

 

Would you please take pics? I have install several times ,but nothing happens.I have it on seperate switch and on #28 wire out of ecm plug,have also tried from trans. I have not cut wires only tapped into.I would like to do mod,but at WITTS end.

ha, well, i am too now. i had it working and was playing around with it today and flipped it to "on" while crusing along and it made my light start flashin and i checked codes- trans slip error. OOH! so i unhooked it on the side of the road and i'm done with it. i had several people check it and said i was on the purple and yellow wire. shes shifting fine still shifting fine. i'm done. with it

 

Locking the TC will cause the OD lamp to flash and store a code.

so, it was nothing then? the trans shop said that since the convertor locked 3 stages on these trucks that it made it go through all 3 stages at one time and threw the code

 

I dont know what above means.
But yes if you lock the TC the PCM will see it as a failure and flash the lamp.
The PCM did not lock it you did.

Bill

 

they said that the TC locks in three different stages. unlocked, partial lock, full lock. they said it prolly threw it cause it got hit while the tc wasnt fully locked, and confused the computer.

 

In a E4OD its locked or not. No in between.
The only time an E4OD can slip code is while its in 4th gear (OD).

Bill

 

so does a 4r100 do it in stages?

 

Lets see ,,,,,,slip slip lock ...

I wouldn't ask them any more questions

 

4R100 has PWM for a soft lock. Has nothing to do with the E4OD.

Bill

 

pwm?????????????????

 

pulse width modulation- it means it slides it into lock up. Kinda like slipping a clutch. But as stated nothing on the E4 is PWM and that is a good thing. Also On my truck I get no light or code using the lock up switch.

I wouldn't both with whatever shop has been feeding you info. They have NO idea what they are talking about!!

 

x2, I get no code either. I know that my buddy running it on his superduty and it was blinking OD light. needed this http://www.guzzle.rbmicro.com/tclock.html
