In oem form the 97-E4 is a stronger unit than the 99-4R.

This is what i see from a keyboard.
Trans goes 20 miles has a failure.
It was able to limp home under man1.
After the man1 run it has no F and R.
"The limp home added to the failure"
Selection of man1 runs at max epc.
This was enough to engage but slip.
The unit needs to come out. Its melba T

This all stemmed from 32K on the back of the truck.
That was knocking the door of 40K total!

If changing the pcm for the 4th time makes you happy so be it.
Its your time and money. I see bad builds and troubleshooting.

FORGOT ABOUT THE 35K ON THE REAR! NUTS! The case is probably warped from the 500 degree fluid that boiled out of it!

What kind of tranny cooler does this thing have in it?

putting the public at risk huh?

That's why they have cdl's. Truck and trailor capacity was not exceeded. Anything else?
I believe I'm done with this site. It only takes one person to make a bad reputation.

So the trucks brakes are rated to stop 40K even with trailer brakes? I would like to see that documention.........Somebody should tell all the owner/operators out there.

Now that is some funny chit.

Problem here is you can lead a horse to water but................

You seem to forget that here you can get some really good "free" info
and help! Problem is all you bring to the table is drama.

I guess put it in gear and move on.

B is out.
Beans comming for the truth? Its worth it!!!
