Talking with a guy but it may fall through.....still need wheels
PM SENTTalking with a guy but it may fall through.....still need wheels

I am a real buyer located in Iowa needs one but will buy all four wheels need to be in very good shape... prefer no tires.... and center caps would be nice too...mine have weird white marks on the stickers....like i said grey painted are prefered

Funny that you say that Krambo, because after talking to the tranny guy (Dana, Pro-Built) and I explained the premature shifting and how it was like a big shutter, he said it sounds like more than just premature shifting that maybe the coverter was locking up and unlocking at the wrong time as well.
I just got my truck back with new tranny built by Dana @ pro-built trans, and a new vigilante torq converter with 2800 stall....run awesome, better than ever, need NO tuning, my guess is the Torq Converter was the problem all along as it is alot tighter now. I guess never having a stall before,,,I thought all the slip was normal. Glad to have it back

Sounds like converter lock-up clutch material. I've been ther before.

Dropped Tranny Pan 1/4 cup of shinny trash...gonna try to order new tranny from http://www.700r4l60e.com/ what do you think?

TB area is almos negligible, but if he is going to make a fuss about it, tell him to change the "ETC throttle area conversion" table from .0208 to .0180. Once again, you need to find a better tunner, you telling him what to do will never get your truck running right
just got home from Maryland last night (15 hour drive, in work van) and then went to local diner and was having breakfast with my girlfriend telling her after almost two years and 50,000 miles I might get to the bottom of the problem in my truck....yep, ha....tranny is completely gone....shifted weird going to diner, so I gave WOT to see if it would do the rapid shifting and it acted like it got stuck and wouldn't shift so I let off and thought "Hey that's new". I didn't push it the rest of the way to diner and then when we left the diner RMP dropped and raised about 5 times 2000-1500, 2000-1500 and so on and then almost no pressure in the tranny and no shifting, no check engine light, nothing, so I shut it off started it would go about a mile at a time and limped her home. I guess the case is closed, time for a new tranny, but this time should put something that can take the motor any suggestions? and will I need reprogramming? what a week. LOL

This is what programmer had to say...
I found the program your running, all of the TCC tables are stock. I have never had to make the changes to them, like that guy described, and I have done a train load of those 03SS trucks with blowers and converters. The converter should not effect one the way you describe. If the gears, tire size or throttle body has been changed you could have it up shifting too soon. I'm assuming that is what you are describing? If a larger throttle body is installed, it will cause shift point (and often low line pressure-soft shifts) problems.
The PCM "looks" at 5 TPS vs MPH to make gear changes. If the speedo is wrong, so is the PCM's point of reference for shifts and line pressure. Ditto the throttle body size change. It takes less throttle angle to run the same RPM & MPH with a larger throttle body.

This could be as I know shift kit was ordered through you, if memory serves me you had a built-up trans for sale at the time and mentioned to the shop that spear headed this build. Because in the end I was thinking I could have built trans for what I spent on my stock one, because of these programing problems.
There as been some talk that this shouldn't be happening because of my lower stall, This may be a stupid question but is it possable the amount of power when it grabs the next gear is creating a certain amount of slip under load(going up small hill at low speed) and that slip is really whats is creating the computer to throw code. I mean to say stall 2600 would not be a factor and slip generated by tourqe would be...again I'm not experienced in this but my newbie logic has to ask, can the amount of stall be eliminated from the root of the problem? and narrowed to amount of slip
-
If I'm correct I talked with your trans builder a few times? (digging into memory now).

I'd recomend going to the 8 rib setup for your truck. Go with the larger crank pulley and run a larger blower pulley. This will ensure little to no slip and longer belt life.
are you saying larger as in wider on just the crank and blower pulley?
I put a new factory tensioner and forced on a shorter belt to reduce slipage and haven't had much slipage since but my power is reduced some now....
trying to figure out power issuses and anticipating possable belt problem and just wanted to make sure I understood that right.

You originally were running a shift kit with TM turned on? The use of a shift kit really eliminates the need for TM..........what are your line pressures set at? I hope they are not bumped up high over stock. Sounds like your trans tune needs a ton of work.
Listen to the guys who already chimed in on this thread, they know what they are talking about.
So I am seeing I need a lot of tune work, I sent an E-Mail with Krambo's protcal for a SOLUTION to the problem so I will see if Ed feels he can use that in conjuction with with the rest of the tune...as for not needing TM with shift kit, I don't know if I buy that because that is where I am at now and it isn't right, I have had the tranny gone over 3 times by 2 different shops with very high standards and outstanding reps... so, I have felt it is in the tune from the start as well and was hoping for more definitive answers from people the have had same issue. The other possability(in Fastchip's opinion) was TConverter but dosen't seem to be to valid.
-
from what I understand, the TCC duty cycle MAX/MIN tables are the magic bullet fix...
anyone that has done it like to comment? what about fastchips anyone know this Ed guy?
-
Looks like you all had the same issue...so has zippy been able to program around it by using...these guide lines???
I was able to get rid of this issue (at least it hasn't happened since,...3+ years) by doing three things in my tune:
1. Narrowed my TCC lock up / release MPH points in my tune. I had them farther apart (about a 10MPH+ spread) than most people, which I liked due to not having the converter lock and unlock when cruising around in my "hilly" area however this was suggested to me by a local LS1 tuner. I now have about a 5 - 8MPH spread under 50% TPS.
2. I also Zero'd my shift times since I had a shift kit.
3. I set my TCC duty cycle MAX table to 100 and the TCC duty cycle MIN to 90.
Maybe Zippy can comment on what I did and if that was appropriate for this situation. Since I haven't had this issue since, I figured it worked.
However could be wrong... -
Funny was searching old threads and found the original shop asking what to do...NeverSatisfiedMoto...back in Jan 2007....been that long...wow
Well it ended with him sending the ECM back to Ed Wright from fast chip and well like I said its not throwing code but not right either, and when I told him it was running through the gears he was like so... got some more info...and most of you guys were responding to him then...
and Ed Wright with fast Chips...is the original programmer and according to original shop he was very hard to deal with...but maybe I should contact them and see if they learned anything in the last 2 years in regards to programing...anyone heard of Ed????

Ok so here goes. If and when I install my Procharger , my Efans, shift kit (and other trans stuff) and headers oh yeah and a nice "tune" what am I looking at for MPG. will I gain or loose MPG. On a good day I get 15. Not bad but I was wondering if this stuff will help a little. And I know I have to STAY OUT OF THE THROTTLE. let me know guys. thanks
I gained about 1 mpg after vortech8-9psi,aftercooler,headers,exaust,intake,larger injectors,stall,shift kit,....if you just did charger and helped the breathing(intake and exaust) I am sure it would be a lot better, but ater shift kit, stall, ect. to get in the boost you loose almost everything you gained. I get average 14-15, was 13-14

the reduced power can be from a number of things, one most common is maxing the maf ,meaning your pulling more air than the maf is set at .
if i were you id get it an experienced tuner, i dont know how far zippy is from you but i would imagine getting the truck to him would be worth your while.
IDK where he is but I am in Maryland now but will be going home to Iowa in a week then I can drive the truck back to Clinton,Maryland so if he's along that 900 mile stretch might work, also thinking of going to Biketoberfest in daytona around the 16th of Oct. so will have the eastern side of US covered...
but again power was good before I had programer turn of torque managment files off...
problem lies in the code being thrown... because the only reason it's not throwing the code is because I had the torque managment files shut off...so pretty sure power and shift problems stem from that(mngmnt files being shut off)
...problem is if I turn them back on then it throws the code?
Why does it throw the code? Can it be in Stall? or is it in the programing? or something else?
-
before it would throw code it ran like a raped ape, but it would get stuck in third within a day...now that torqe managment files are off it is a least drivable, but now power and shift points are messed up, the problem was no one could get it to stop throwing code... and was sick of rebuilding trans, and throwing money at it... so tried turning off the torqe files just to have my truck back as this went on for 4-6 months and needed to have wheels...now have 2nd set of wheels so... trying to decide what to do next
programer thought it was the stall was going over 3000 but trans guy drove it with meter hooked up and could not get it over 3000 but was getting it to throw code so...that didn't seem like stall to me... and of course guy who built tc wasn't excited about pulling it with out pay or better evidence...and I was out of time, needed truck and turning files off was free so thought I would give it a try...worked as far as drivable but still not right and after all that would now like to see if I can get it figured out...never been so frustrated when all that was going on, everyone pointing fingers at each other, and draining my wallet
-
That code will cause it to be stuck in 3rd, but not put it in reduced power.

located in Iowa but ecm was sent out of state, thinking to AZ

The code was the 0757, and was told it stands for.... 2-3 shift valve performance
-
sounds like the famous p0757 code or similar. do you know the exact code? for that low of a stall its kind of weird it throws that. most of the time its a minumum 3k stall that causes this.
sounds like your tune needs some work .
The guy that did the tune work was the one that came up with everything that was done to the engine based on another truck, the other truck had a stall of 3000 or higher was running slicks and if I remember right dry shot of nos and was running low 11's was told mine should do high 11's. Ended up so frustrated never went to track...Tune guy was supposed to be famous for doing vette tunes that were dominating

No been awhile, not sure on code, but the tuner kept saying it had to be stall because he shouldn't have to touch trq mngmt files with that low of stall as well...but wouldn't by turning files off show that it is in the tune? and not the stall and BTW tranny guy tested stall and could never get it to reach 3000
