isnt that crazy? a bad TPS causing a trans to burn out? it DOES have the CPS (yes the recall one) bad. its cutting off cold, even going down the road. p0344. and the 1728.

Why would ANYONE put a high stall tc into a daily driver DIESEL pickup? Thats the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Secondly, if the CPS burnt your tranny up, I think that the more likely cause would be a worn stering wheel cover, guy that does your work must be an idiot. I would bet the reason for your tranny going bad is the 42k or whatever it was that you said you grossed hauling hay. Not pointing fingers, not trying to be rude, had a very bad day, and have let quite a few beers take over my mouth. I am going to bed. Atleast he is covering SOMETHING on your tranny after 6 months waranty was up. Hope you got a GOOD tranny cooler.

lately, no. i am probably gonna regret letting them do it again and payign $900 for it. thats to cover parts. TC will be $450. he tried to tell me it was dying because of the TPS. and sometimes on acceleration it didnt do anything. his code scanner read nothing. my superchip gave 0304, 0344, 1728. he said see, my scanner says no slip. i said, then why do i have a flashing light?!!!!!!!!??? he says, thats cause its an electrical problem. said its all in the TPS. last friday he said it was all in the REar speed sensor. i think he has just been passing the buck, trying to get out of re-rebuilding it.

42k? 7,500# truck + 7,000# trailer + 16,000# (hay)= combined weight of 30,500# yup, its alot for a slush box, but try not to do it a whole lot.

A tps issue could cause issue but it would also throw a code. He is passing the buck!
