Well I measured the resistance of the PC-A and SSPC-D. The PC-A measured 5.4 Ohms. The SSPC-D measure 4.6 Ohms. I replaced the SSPC-D since it was a little on the high side and I had it on hand. I'll keep the old one. The PC-A I'll send back since it's right in the middle of the specs. All other solenoids measured 4.4-4.5.
Only thing of note is the PC-A pig tail was missing black guard. I don't know if that is normal.
So, Mike, where are you at with this? Did you get your pressures back in line with the specs Mark posted? Did changing the SSPC-D solenoid improve anything?
Sorry for the long delay in a reply. Changing out of the SSPC-D didn't change anything. I didn't expect it to really. It was more of a preventive step while I was there.
Long story but I did discover I was overfilled by 2.5 quarts of fluid when I did the first test. I don't drive much but I need to get a proper line pressure test done again. (i.e. fluid level back to what it should be and fluid temp up). I have some other unrelated issue that popped up. My turbo has been giving me over/under boost codes and instead of cleaning it I decided it was time to get a new one. According to the Oasis it had been cleaned a few times already and I know the truck sat a lot before I bought and like I said I don't drive a ton either. After I get this done the next item to tackle will be checking the line pressure again.
Any idea if the PC-A that is there should have the plastic guard in the connector? If was there and it fell out then it's in the transmission somewhere. It was never in the pan.
I can't help you with the plastic guard, but I would like to hear some feedback from anyone who has installed any of these aftermarket solenoids and/or shift kits. Do they make for crisper shifts like the dealers claim?

Chris, read Mark's post #9 above. Whatever increased pressure you get from the solenoids will be adapted out by the computer, so there is no gain.
I read Mark's post. And while I have the utmost respect for Mark, he''s talking about what SHOULD happen. I want to know if there is any difference between theory and real world results.
And since I didn't say it, if anyone did experience a positive change in shifting, was it long lived?
