    Continued chip/pcm issues

    Does anyone know exactly how the J3 port on the pcm interacts w the pcm? I need to get more serious on figuring this out. Still hassling with random (usually cold) poor starts--either a heavy romping or a heavily late timing/smoke show like the whisper tune that's on the chip. Got good clean...

    p1690 code?

    Strange, Ive suddenly seen this wastegate code show up a couple of times now. Is this code just like the EBPV codes and the other stuff that comes on when stuff is unplugged? Or, is it coming on for another reason?

    35" tires, 42R, towing issues now

    After all the trans and converter replacement, the 35s are putting a hurt on towing. Even with an 8-9K car trailer. Now that the trans or converter wont slip, this thing wont get out of its own way now in top gear. It used to be that you could grab throttle and the rpms would come up...

    BTS Trans autopsy..

    Ok, you've all been hearing about the issues Ive had with the converter drifting issues and eventual slipping and inability to lock. This is a BTS that has was built in 2006 and has about 60K miles on it. Like me, the PO had driven it pretty mellow but made a few laps on the track, some...

    converter suggestions?

    Well, the trans needs to come out-- towing temps are way beyond comfortable now and the converter will not stay locked with any throttle load. Im planning on a new converter, pump plus an inspection of the trans. Ive heard the good reports on the JW converters but wondered if there are...

    tuners; transmission control inputs

    guys, some of you may have been reading my posts on my recent TCC issues. Im not completely certain, but it really seems that the locking/unlocking issues have increased with the larger tires. This is not a trans issue, the PCM is commanding the unlock. (The speedo has not been...

    TCC code P0741 - need advice

    Ok, Ive made comments a few months ago about a random converter lock unlock/lock in top gear. Over the past couple weeks, its become much more frequent and has now thrown a p0741. I know that's a general TCC code and could mean many things. The driving observations; -trans shifts fine at...

    aeroforce scan gauge>> trans codes

    Will the scan gauge read trans codes? Had a brief episode of a flashing OD and a few firm shifts a few blocks from the house. No trans codes on the gauge.

    chip issues?

    Kind of a weird deal.. I started the truck yesterday first time in a week, drove it 3-4 miles to a buddys place to mount the tires. Was there for about an hour or so, went to start it and it went into a crazy top fuel blower romp (400 to 1200 rpm) and heavy fuel smoke. I shut if off and...

    Pro Comp MT2s

    I didn't see much on the search for the MTs (a few AT comments), so I thought Id as if anyone has experience with them. A local guy changed his mind on a lift and these 295/60 20s are like new--thinking about pulling the trigger. What can anyone offer on these tires?

    WTB; 20" 33s

    If you've bought 33"s (305/55s, 285/60s, etc) and think they're too small.... I'll never wear out a set before they are 7-8 yrs old, so if you have a set that's 80+% and want bigger lets talk.

    Caution on 2" spacers

    When trying the new spacers yesterday, I discovered that some of the factory studs protrude slightly further than 2". I measured a few of them at 2.01 and the spacers are 1.993. This could be due to the thickness of the rotor hub perhaps and it was only on the front. (The rears had plenty...
