there is no "c00n's cure" i f you remember it was a simple joke to poke fun with you guys that went horribly wrong, it was meant to show that my trans has 4 distinct shift points in it, giving it the same illusion that the cure gives.

again, i never meant to try to do harm to the actual product and the post was taken the wrong way, i tried to delete it and i am not capable. i do endorse the product as i feel it does work and is a good mod and WILL aid in preventing premature transmission failure. i ask that you kindly stop poking at sore wounds as the post was written incorrectly and i didnt consider the multiple ways it could be taken. i have apologized before for it and i am apologizing for the last time now.

in resposne to the other questions, the epc is fords way to give the trucks a more car like feel yet still be able to be heavy duty enough to get the job done. the technology wasnt good enough for the times. the epc as described in the ese site is correct, its not accurate enough to do its job very well, you are stuck with abnormal pressures that constantly vary. eliminating it and giving a desired pressure is the way to go, you know what will always be on demand and the shifts and holding pressures wont drop off and allow any slippage or heat to occur. you should see lower operating temps and have a much better feeling tranny.

We are all here to have better trucks and have a better understanding of them. That is all that matters.

100 bucks is a good deal for what you are getting, the epc eliminator is the biggest gain in my opinion, the bully dog and sonaxx accumulaotr kits are the same price as all 3 mods you are getting

Its not even that you can do you own adjustments in shift feel ect. Such as a transgo. The big advantage is the flaws removed from the EPC system.

it wouldnt be hard to get yourself a set line pressure, keeping the check engine light out is the key and the resistor takes care of it

-With vibration I want to say that between 2nd ant 3rd you feel a hard shift, is quickly but the truck has a short vibration and its harder at WOT and it is less if you realease a little bet the throttle when the change is going to happen (I hope I explain myself).
-No I havent done any tests, here in my town there are no transmission shops with scanners, I suppose I cant do any test with the OBD-2, right?
-PCM code = NAW4

Sounds like Torque converter shudder to me. I have done one thing that is very cheap to fix it. Done it to 15 or so trucks and including my old 95. Change the tranny fluid to ATF+3 chrysler fluid. It has different friction modifiers in it and fixes the shudder. All of the trucks we have done this to didn't have any other issues and never shuddered again.

He could also dump the naw4.
I would first test with chip removed.
Thats if you have one.
The fluid can mask a possible issue.
