opps, any R4100 gurus?
New tranny lasted 42k and lost all top end, lost 1st gear on downhill grade. New one put in but wont warranty. Says codes on engine are problematic...I disagree. Code for cps easy to fix, now code for fuel pressure higher or lower than normal.Still no reason. Computer junk? Banks chip the culprit? Supposed to be a build tranny. Any suggestions? O and all I do for a living is transport trailers and of course it blows on the largest one ive had to pull in months. The old one lasted for 309k

BTS is commonly referred to www.BriansTruckShop.com , he makes awesome 4r100 transmissions. when my TC goes out, i am getting one of his. i also agree, that comment wasnt needed.

code for fuel pressure higher or lower than normal is from the chip.
I would tend to think that maybe the shop didn't do such a good job ... being as you got so many mile out of the first tranny.
Do you run a tranny gauge and has the rebuild tranny been running a lot hotter than the original ?
sorry to hear about your trouble.... hope you get the problem taken care of by the shop that did the work

that's one of the scary things for me... when my tranny goes, (hopefully many years from now), there are no good tranny shops around here... good luck with your issues man... i hope those guys decide to stand behind their work...

First: It wasn't a wise crack! Second: You act like pulling FEMA trailers for MONEY to people who Truly need them is some Big Hearted thing you are doing. I volunteered all 3 of my Super Dutys to pull trailers for FEMA for 1 week. I told them I would pay my drivers, all they had to come up with is the Fuel. I don’t Own-Run a transport Company, I own a construction Company, they had so much BS red tape I just told them to Screw it!! If you would have gotten the BTS to begin with you would not have the Down-Time!! Then you would still making money pulling those FEMA trailers!

This tranny feels different then the first one he put in. I just installed the banks 6gun tuner and if im reading it right it reads tranny temp also. The first trip out I was running the banks chip for 75 and I stacked this on top. I also ran biodezl so this is telling me that the torque couldnt handle that much power. Tranny shouldnt break cause of the motor.
