Awesome
Thank you very much

 

Checked fuse #32, 33, 34 and all are good so nothing there. I have no clue as electronics are not my strong suit at all. Is there a chance Ive got a pcm issue? Manager at shop said its a possibility. Anything I can do to check/trouble shoot it?

 

While a pcm can fail its often blamed because its the black box boog a loo no one understands . I think exposed wiring and connectors are more likely first .They get chaffed-burnt /chewed/pinched on- especially under truck -corroded -wet salt etc.

 

If you have a multi-meter you can check the wiring harness from the pcm to the connector of the transmission for power. It should be a violet/white wire from fuse 33 to the transmission connector plug, according to my wiring diagram. With the connector removed at the trans you could also check for bent or loose pins. It's best to leave it to someone who knows how to troubleshoot with a wiring diagram as you wouldn't want to do damage to your pcm.

 

I had an issue with a 1995 F-150 and shifting issues similar to what you described. Listen to Mark Kovalsky...

And find a good shop. Often, good general repair shops can refer you to good places that they recommend for specialty work...like transmissions.

 

I also got a recomendation from a friend of a friend that it could be the range sensor on the shift linkage at trans. Any thoughts there?

 

It's not the range sensor.

 

Care to elaborate any?

 

I see many codes, but none for the range sensor.

 

makes sense
Thanks

 

AGREE and good advice!!!!

 

A look at all the code disriptions suggest the harness has been damages, burned crossed or grounded.
Complete incompetence by not looking up the codes for an honest look at the possible trouble.
With those codes no transmission will work correctly.
With the codes as shown, it is very unlikely the PCM is at fault for that many different transmision control issues or it could not tell you all the different the codes.
It's like what you would get from people who only turn wrenches and guess the rest.
It always comes back to bite.
If a bad harness is found to be the original problem, the shop owner has to give a little for his incompetent employee working like this..
Good luck.

 

Heres an update.
first shop had done the "diagnostic" work and came to conclusion that the computer was at fault. I am obviously fed up with them and took to another shop and they found the issue in 3hrs. Bad connection at plug near computer. Corrosion/broken. Got it fixed and Im finally back on the road.
I learned an expensive lesson and found a great shop for future repairs.
Thank you all for advice. Great forum here

 

Glad you got it fixed and you didn't have to go thru blaming it on a pcm -that's a lot of money and trouble .

Finding good diagnostic guys is difficult .in every state. Maybe you should name that shop for others in your state.

 

Thats a good idea.
Discount muffler & AC in Las Vegas.They were very honest and informative on what they did. I will be bringing any truck I own to them frim now on.
