WOWWWWWWWWW!!!!

Trying to find a single point failure that could cause these problems. After sleeping it over, decided it had to be one of the trans connectors. Got up this morning and reseated both connectors and went out for a drive....WOWWWWWWWWW!!!! This is how life should have been all along.

1. Trans shifted better than new.
2. Worked great with and without the GV Over/Under engaged.
3. Light comes on every time TC locks, automatically or manually with the switch.
4. TC Locks automatically at 10 mph on acceleration from stop.
5. Love, Love, Love the torque.
6. Engine was extremely cool (Below 'N' on gauge)
7. Trans ran extremely cool 140-150 degrees!

Can't wait to get 'er loaded up and see how she does on the next trip!

The only possible drawback I can see is the light (LED) stays on dimly when the key is off. It shouldn't draw enough current to drain the battery, but I'll monitor it over the next few days to see. If it does, I guess I'll disconnect that part of the mod, bit it's nice to be able to see when the TC is locked or unlocked both manually and automatically.

Thanks to everyone for their help... I still love my truck, even when she's not doing what she's supposed to.

Kevin
