This issue persists. It finally failed completely while I was on the road. Fortunately, I had a TFT sensor in my truck. In order to get home, I snipped the wires at the PCM harness and wired the TFT sensor directly in. Works like a champ, no issue. So, that confirms that the PCM is good and the pins and the connectors are good. Something in the external trans harness and they don't make it anymore, so this is how she has to live. She'll be reading the engine bay temperature for the trans. HAHAHA.....

Unless I can find a test port sized sensor that reads the proper ohms (GLOWSHIFT SENSORS DO NOT WORK HERE) then I got nothing. But, in case anyone needs the answer, this is one way to work around it.
