Just went on a trip to Avi (between Havasu and Laughlin on the Colorado River) w/ the camper and bass boat. Several long hills, and 100 + degree OAT. I did experience some hot temps in the trans and the engine from time to time. I learned that if I keep the gears lower and the RPM's up around 2200-2400 on those long inclines, the temps were lower overall.
Last night we took the truck empty to the Barstow Drive-in movie, and the TC was continually locking and unlocking when I had the Over/Under engaged, but was much better when O/U was off.
Having read several threads on the lock-up mod, I've been unsuccessful at finding the Purple wire w/ Yellow tracer coming off the right side of the trans. I have an E4OD, w/ a Banks TransCommand. Should the Purple wire still be here somewhere, or should I be looking for a different wire?
If I connect at the harness on the driver's side whell well, which bundle or where does the bundle go so that I can narrow down my search?
I want to do the mod, and then drain, flush and replace the filter and all tranny fluid including the cooler and TC. Transmission was rebuilt about 15K miles ago and has worked great until the last trip.
