It sounds like the TCM has no power or is dead. Will your overdrive off light even come on if you press the o/d off button? First check all your fuses. After that, I really don't know where to go from here cause I have never had this problem (yet). You can unplug the tranny from the tcm and if it shifts the same, then you know its a tcm issue, possibly power to it, or electrical between tcm and tranny.

Very strange that no codes would be thrown.

Does manual second gear work?

Try shifting manually with the od off. when you get to third, then turn it on. You should feel 4 distinct shifts. Above 37mph you should also get torque converter lockup, which if working right will also feel like another shift. I suspect maybe the tc may be at fault if the tcm is working properly. Does reverse function normally?

shift dosen't change whether light is on or off manually when I shift manual it shifts solid and reverse is solid just no 4th gear or if you select drive then that is when it shifts 1st, 3rd skips second and very weak shift like converter slip and no 4th gear.

If the computer will not talk to you at all, then I would concentrate in that area.

I have the computer out of my '90 and, if it's the same, you can try it to see if anything changes. It's currently on loan to a member in WV and I think he's done with it, I can have him send it down to you.

Does any buddy know what year the trans controller covers and are they the same for the gas rigs with the E40D or is the IDI all it's own.

The controller is specific for that era of diesel E4OD transmissions. Years from 1989-1993 are all IDIs.

No, sounds like they're all the same for the IDI. Get your address to EMD_Driver and then see if it takes care of the problem.
