Vacuum pump interaction with E4OD Trans?

Hey all, just bought my '91 and working on figuring out a bunch of stuff. truck has an E4OD and seems very late to shift - know the trans is electronic but where's the info to shift come from - is one of my vacuum pumps the cause?

The shifting is controlled by the speed sensor on your speedo cable and the throttle position sensor on the injection pump. No vacuum is used at all.

if your tach and speedo appear to be accurate,then start by checking your tps settings;

was told by the seller - speedo was off by about 5mph - haven't driven it enough to check although the tach is way off. am diagnosing multiple issues - rough/no idle etc. thought the tach (lack thereof) was due to the idle and hard start which I attributed to the injector caps leaking/sucking air. read the thread about checking gp's yesterday - so need to ease on in as time allows with basic understandings first. gp relay has melt marks around where the smaller wires come out the side - was planning on buying the gp kit from Accurate Diesel ($152) later today which includes the relay (although need to check the brand of gp - seems you all recommend the Beru. thx guys

i am not positive, but i am pretty sure the accurate diesel kit comes with diesel rx/wellman plugs.

rock auto has the relay for $75:

and XD-9 glow plugs for $9.96 each:
