Transmission Woes
I spend most of my time over on the 6.0 forum (go figure!) but need some help with the wifey's truck. We were headed to the Keys with the boat a few months back and the transmission went on the truck. Luckily we were able to drop the truck off and get the tranny replaced and continue vacation. We picked it up and dropped the rental truck son the way back. Pulled the boat back from Gainesville to Atlanta and no issues. I was pulling a small trailer this weekend and went to pull out after stopping at a yield. I hit the throttle and it took off, shifted and then nothing. no power, no pull, did not rev like a slipage. Eased off the throttle and in to the turn lane. Light changed an it was fine. No codes or any issues after that. 120 miles from home, so I did take it easy. Not sure what that was. Any ideas?

I had a similar issue, I popped P0720 (check engine light and OD light flashing for trans code), which is the output shaft speed sensor (OSS). I chased it all over the damn place, replaced the sensor, read the harness with Mark's instructions, the whole nine yards.
In the end I narrowed it down to the TPS, which is mounted on the accelerator pedal bracket. As a 2001, Ford parts tells me it is not individually replaceable and the entire pedal assembly must be purchased at $420.xx. I took the pedal assembly out, disassembled it and cleaned it up as best as I could and the problem went away for a few weeks. It has since returned intermittently, so my next move is a Dorman replacement from RockAuto for $75 once payday arrives.

I do not, no. I heard over $400 and immediately lost all interest.
I fail to see why the TPS is not a replaceable component. Other than some fiddling to clock it properly and seat it, there's only two small Torx bits holding it in place. I may see about ordering just a TPS from whatever year they're replaceable and see if it interchanges.

No prob, I was just gonna use it to look it up at RockAuto.
You'd have to search for it, but in the 7.3L PSD forum they have threads that cover the replaceable versus non-replaceable pedal differences.

As far as intermittent goes, how intermittent? It happened on the drive down and has not done it again. That was last Friday. I drove it last night after replacing the hub (good times!) and no issues. Also, 2002, is that the whole pedal assembly or just the TPS that mounts on the assembly. Anyone know?

It started very rarely, like every couple months. Now it's doing it more and more frequently, sometimes multiple times a day.
Forget trying to load up the converter to leave on boost, that just stalls the thing out entirely - as does trying to pull a load up a decently graded driveway.
Pretty much anything from a dead stop and it's now a 25/75 on it running or stalling.
RockAuto shows the TPS as replaceable til a 10/2/00 build date, however when I called the dealer and gave them my VIN for part look up they said it was the entire pedal assembly. Which is odd as my door sticker shows an August 2000 build.
