Mr. Hyoosten-Techsus Posted May 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 Good news...the blue beast LIVES!!! Sort of LOL. Fired right up, absolutely no hiccups...no leaks, no noises, no codes....NOTHING. I tell you what though, those couple of seconds before the first turn of the key were VERY intense. I have a clip, but can't seem to figure out how to upload it. Anyways everything was good until I drove it...after doing some research I'm pretty sure I've fallen victim to a failed converter or a failing TCC. Leaning towards the converter because I can actually hear bits & pieces rattling when the problem occurs....very soul crushing to hear for the first time. Truck runs flawless til' I get up to about 50-55 mph & overdrive kicks in...from that point on, any load on the engine causes this shuttering & the truck definitely doesn't want to go faster. I let off the gas & everything is normal again. Fluid was checked in front/rear diff, dropped the transmission pan...no discoloration/ not a single metal flake was found, definitely not enough to suggest imminent part failure. I almost "threw" a t-case at the problem convinced that what I was hearing had to have been the chain slipping & bouncing off the case, but the lil' mechanic in me said investigate. Finally built up the courage to split the t-case open & found everything in exceptional condition so I dodged a big time bullet there as I found out that t-cases ain't cheap. So she's back on the disabled list again LOL. Gonna drop the tranny & get that converter out ( it was a TCI street fighter 3k). E-mailed the good folks at Circle-D for their insight on a replacement. I would love to hear from anyone that's experienced something similar & what the fix wound up being Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
