questions need answers

So i get my AE tommorrow, it was my v-day present to myself(i love presents to myself they are always what ya want!!!!!!) Now my questions...

1. So my vibration is getting worse. I went to drive train specilalists, and they said that it sounds like my TC/Tranny, because i asked about balancing my driveshaft since it had a vibration issue. Like i have said before it starts at about 45 mph when the TC locks up and goes away at about 65+ and will also go away when i put my foot to floor. It only happens when the TC is locked up and my foot is on the pedal a little bit. How do you monitor trans slippage/TC slippage? I want to make sure before i bring it to the tranny shop that there is a problem.

2. How does the buzz test work? I want to buzz my injectors because i have theory that i want to confirm about the vibration as well.

Im sure ill have more questions later but thanks in advance.

1. There are 2 PID's in live data - Torque Convverter Commanded and Torque Converter Actuall. TCC is the RPM the PCM wants 1020 unlocked 0 locked and TCA is the Slippage RPM mine stays between 0 and 1 when locked and 1020 - engine rpm when unlocked.

2. Key on Engine Off initiate buzz and run to front of truck. Test will buzz all injectors and then 1 at a time listen for sound differences durring the buzzing, codes will also be returned at the end if any issues are found during the test.

If any codes are stored AE can retrive them as long as you got the Enhanced Ford Package
