Those numbers indicate not enough signal, so your lack of kickdown isn't surprising. Get the base voltage to 0.8V~1V and you should see a decent improvement.

Turns out we had some hackers recently which is why I had a heck of a time getting online to reply.

You could turn it up slightly more if you want but if it shifts well for you then you don't have too. Maybe try running it for a while and see how it does. Make sure none of the upshifts are slipping under any conditions. Also pay attention to the torque converter lockup.

Sounds like you are VERY close and it might be good enough to leave it alone. Hard to say without being able to drive your truck.

Actually I have a flight on the 28th to the sunshine coast where I'll be visiting with my sister for a couple months. However, thats a bit of a drive to go to western australia. I know you guys in oz like long drives, but thats a LONG drive even for you LOL

If I were to bring all the parts in my carry on, they would probably think I was trying to smuggle a nuke into the country

Change of cloths is probably not a stretch. I hate the fact that they don't provide a drain plug for them. I guess they think we wouldn't change the filter if they did.

Mine has a drain plug in the pan with a temp sender in it. If your in oz for a couple of months and feel like hopping a flight to the west coast then let me know.
