Temp Sensor in trans

I have had the Erratic torque Convertor hunt all summer long , I have read and been told of hundreds of fixes and causes. So hear is a question for you all. During the warmer months May through September I have the TC Hunt, since it has turned to the colder months the truck runs just fine, my question is could the Temp sensor be bad or maybe something related to it be causing this problem other than Alternator Interferance?

Still prospecting right now. The main problem I have during the warmer months is the Erratic Torque converter Hunting at 40-50 MPH. Only it doesn't happen during the colder months, SO I'm thinking that the Temp sensor might have something to do with it.

Cleaning all of the grounds was the first thing that I did and still check regularly.
