I finally broke down and replaced the IP on Sunday. Now the truck idles kinda' rough but, runs fine otherwise. The IP definitely fixed my dead pedal problem. But, the truck still repeatedly goes into and out of LOCK-UP. When you get into OD at about 1500 rpm it constantly goes from 1500 to 1800 to 1500 to 1800 to 1500 well you get the picture. If i let off the accelerator slightly it seems to do ok or if I run it up to 70+mph (2000 +rpm) it will only deviate about 50-100 rpm ever so often. I have read to wrap the Alt to battery wire with aluminum foil, also to solder all the connectors at the battery. I have wrapped the wire but, haven't soldered the connections. Didn't i read on here somewhere somebody makes a noise filter module or something that will fix this problem. I think it was about 90.00 if I remember. Thanks for any assisstance..............

 

before you do all that stuff, try the apps reset procedure.

 

did you wrap the right wire off the alt...going to the batery neg....i did it and it fixed it right away....havent had one surge/TC lock-unlock since.

i am gonna do an apps reset anyways just to see if i notice any difference.

I think I wrapped the right wire. I wrapped the brown (about 10 ga.) that had some sort of stripe on it. I did the APPS reset a couple weeks back before I replaced the IP. I'll try it again today.

 

DTT makes a noise filter that you speak of. My brother had good luck on his 99' with running a extra ground cable to his pass. side batt. and the frame.

 

Can you guys explain the wire wrapping? Any links?

I rewrapped the "dog poopy" out of the alternator wire again today and thus far after about 100 miles it is still fixed.I drove the truck all day today and it drives fine for now. I will report back later.
