They finally threw in a whole new valvebody and, knock-on-wood, it's fine now. These things come up and it's a PITA.

What is your tranny exactly doing?
Generally not shifting as it should. Won't shift up from 2nd to 3rd, and slipping, etc. Once you stagger up to road speed (above 56-57) it will go into lockup, but even that is not all the time any longer.

Supposedly all the stuff that is necessary to run this system was done at install, but obviously a few things were not put in NEW to back up that expensive transmission! Special spendy valve body to work with DTT controller for Pac Brake, billet case for converter, etc, but the little OEM plugs and bits, no.

I just hope hubby gets home with the equipment Monday from the job where he parked it after coming back from Canada.

It's not abused, never goes off road, doesn't do anything wild and crazy, just a plain little work truck - and we need it running. This is getting mighty doggone old.
