alright great man, glad i could help out a fellow CTDer. keep us posted on how it turns out.

BTW, feel free to call me andrew

 

I have just read about 100 post that all describe the same problem. I am convinced it's the governor solenoid and sensor. Guess what i'll be doing tommorrow!!!

 

oh i can imagine. but hey no worries. it's is easy, i promise. just have fun draining the fluid if you don't have a plug, which i guess you said you've changed the filter before so you have experience huh?

but i was wondering, how many miles do you have on your truck? from what i've read it happens around 40,000-80,000 miles. mine happened around 64,000. what about you?

 

Thanks for all the info guys. It turned out to be the governor sensor and solenoid. I got them at dealer cost thru my workplace. It cost me about $150 total. The problem went away and it shifts better than ever. I also adjusted the bands. Thanks again.

 

I hit 85000 miles this week. The only other problem i have had with this truck was the injector pump. That went out at about 55,000. I work her hard, but man i love this truck. Once ya go diesel, ya never go back!!

 

well i'm so gald it all worked out for ya. so will ya be able to make that tournament now. good luck if ya do.

when your vp44 went out did you have a FP guage on it?
