the o-ring holds that fine for most people.iv never had an issue.not saying you may not have this issue,but it's important you understand just how vital it is that you resolve code 624 before continuing to drive the truck.regardless as to if you find a dropped filter or not.it could cost you a reman if not taken care of.

 

Yea you're right. What should my next step be? I've checked my plugs like you said and the TPS sensor is new and clean connection. Ummm, I guess tomorrow I'll go through the harness looking for any place it could short, and make sure I wired the solenoid plug correctly but I'm sure I did, I checked it 3 times and the code was apparent before I replaced the plug (The wiring I did is coated in shrink tape and electrical tape so, it's sealed). I'll inspect my PCM if I can figure that out.

Thanks

 

Check that plug again, look the last link in my write-up, the other write-up I referred has detailed info about a plug issue.

 

Get a meter then measure the continuity between the pins I listed before.

Insomnia ???
You aren't loosing sleep over this, are you ???

Bob

 

Insomnia, yes

This particular issue was not the root cause

 

Venezuelan presidential elections maybe? That's what has kept me up all these days... We could use some international support btw...

 

I will gladly give you the one we have. He already has 4+ years experience

 

Even if you can't see it, Obama has been a good president... I will share some quotes of the illegitimate one from Venezuela in PM with you later.

 

Our Prez is only the figure head for the grid locked House and Senate. It may be a blessing he cannot move his agenda through either one.

Enough politics, Cerveza para mis amigos!

 

i had a simmilar problem with my 04 F350 after getting my transmission "serviced". After about three months of violent shifting I decided to change the fluid and filter myself. I drained as much fluid as I could and replaced it with Wolfs Head brand of synthetic ATF fluid and all was back to normal. weird I know but that was two years ago now and all is still good.

 

Hey everyone,

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, things have been crazy and I haven't had much time to get to the truck.

I found what was causing the EPC code 624, my harness was rubbing my front drive shaft and there were a ton of wires exposed, about three were completely rubbed through and separated, and another handful were halfway worn and touching each other. It's pretty amazing that it ran at all. So I spliced and wired the exposed wires and my shifting is back to normal, 2nd gear still shifts a little firm but that may just be because something wore down from the hard shifting over the past few months. My best guess.

So i ran codes, no more 624, but I have 118 and 122. One of them is an engine coolant sensor or something and the other is a low throttle indication.

My engine temp is 190.

My transmission is constantly overheating and I'm burning fluid off the exhaust on any drive over 30 minutes. Also I'll still bog down in reverse and when I pull up to a stoplight or 4 way. There is no such bogging in park or neutral.


I previously bypassed the regular cooler (near the radiator) completely with a smaller external cooler last fall when I was having overheating problems and it was fine all fall and winter, maybe because it was 32 degrees all winter. I tried reconnecting the transmission lines to the regular cooler and it over heated within minutes today and I reattached the external cooler. I'm thinking of trying to connect them both but we'll see, I also blew out the old cooler to see if there was some sort of blockage but there was no such thing.

Any ideas gents? Thanks as always!

 

just skimmed the thread. but have you checked the vss? i had this happen in my 96 with an e4od and it was only a fuse blown for the vss..

 

now your making progress!

trans overheats.what temps are you seeing and where are you reading them from? the test port?

is your trans over full and leaking out of the dip stick tube,burning off the manifold and causing your engine to bog down while coming to a stop and backing up? this would also explain the high fluid temps as well.
once the trans is up to operating temp,you need to check the level while in park.shift through all the gears and leave in each gear for 5 seconds,then back to park or N with e-brake on to check.make sure it's fully seating and reading perfectly.
often you need to look at both sides of the stick to find the true level.
to remove some fluid without a drain plug in the trans pan,you can just slide off a cooling line and start the truck.be quick! and shut her right back off.she'll pump it right out in a hurry.continue as needed.

 

Well I don't have a trans temp gauge, I'm just assuming it's over heating as it's super hot to the touch (you can't rest your hand on it), and spewing fluid from the over flow hole at the top of the transmission and the rtv I used on it previously seems to be melting off too.

As for the fluid levels, it's definitely not over full, I check it often and since I loose so much fluid on a regular basis I'm constantly adding it. I'm concerned about why it's over heating at this point. I can't imagine the excess friction it's experiencing. I hope that the cooler I'm using is just too small. It's pretty close to 12inches by 8 inches. And I'm just using the external cooler, it's not connected to the radiator cooler at all. Is that an issue?

I'm probably going to order a trans temp gauge soon and install that, and based on feed back from you guys a decent trans cooler online, maybe one with it's own fan.

Is there another way I can get a reading for the temp on the tranny? You mention some sort of test port?
