PCM trouble?

Had trans rebuilt 3wks ago, been good now my RPM's are too high in 4th. Went to trans shop he used Snap-on scanner and found code PO605. Trans shop says the PCM is bad and not letting torque converter to lock. Any ideas or good place to buy PCM, dealer want $700.00.

If the problem started as soon as you got it back from the tranny shop they may have done something wrong. I'd swap the PCM with a known good one first before you buy one. Junkyards might be a source.

1. If there is a chip plugged into the PCM that will cause this code.
2. Excessive cranking can cause this code.
