@Dynamic What is is that Smarty software with TQ Man feature allows for much more fuel at low speeds. This means either light throttle or heavy throttle usage. This now changes the TV cable position without adjusting. Pepsi can go up on power and have it shifting early because more power less throttle. Now go down in power and need more throttle now it shift later. Basically what is happening is the Smarty is at 100% throttle by your actually at 30 to 35% throttle actually.

Like my 46RE I've got a clamp on temp sensor for now till I get the bung and weld it in at the next fluid change. At least this is the hot line leaving the transmission to the cooler. As @Dynamic would say the fluid in the pan is what the transmission is going to use right now. The hot line is the temperature of the torque converter and it waste fluid headed for the cooler. Test ports are not useable because that fluid will not move for long periods if the transmission isn't shift constantly or using that port. The the fluid temp is just heat soak.

Temperature is invalid. That is not a flowing fluid port. Either you need to tap the cooler line or weld a bung into the pan.

I've got good neighbors that will keep an eye on things. Older people have a bit harder time fighting Coronavirus. It inflames the wind pipe and lung tissue creating a breathing issues and possible death. So far it only affecting older folks the most. There is a few cases of younger people but they tend to fight it rather easy.

Yup. I went into Riggins, ID and did a bit more shopping. Shocker! We have toilet paper, bleach, disinfectant wipes, etc. The fact is eventually that will dry up and not be restocked in the future. I was informed that the supplies they have now will not be replaced for some time being the bigger cities are eating it up. Now I came up with the ultimate protection idea. Since I'm out here in Central Idaho why not wait till it get a bit worse and I'm packing to the wood with my RV in tow and stay away from people. We can always sneak home in the evenings and grab more stock of food and goodies. Then during the crisis just stay out in the back country away from people. I've got better faith in drinking from local creeks than most of the bottled drinks.

All @pepsi71ocean has to do is change his tune on the Smarty and it will change the shift parameters because the TQ man setting gets fuel down lower causing the throttle to be lighter than other other tunes and now it shifts different because TV cable is pulled less.

OK I stand corrected... Then I'm only ~90k behind... Keep trucking...

Yes I'll take precautions toward the virus. Like Eileen and I already talked about her medical appointments in Boise. Instead of staying in motel rooms and eating out in restaurants which give you the highest contact chance of getting the virus. Why not just pull my RV down to Parma, ID or Boise St. Luke's (RV lot). Then just stay with our own stuff. Yeah I might have more to spend fuel wise but the eating out and motel cost are gone. Personally, I would just rather stay away from crowds and close contact with people as much as possible. As for my own health I'm running on my 3rd winter without a cold. I'm taking a multi-vitamin, hawthorn berry (blood pressure), and then benadryl. There is a huge perk to living way out here in the forest of Idaho. The chances of me getting the virus is even lower. Typically working alone in my shop on trucks. Local grocery store still have toilet paper. Everyone is just normal up here. Now go to Boise, Ontario, or Lewiston. OMG! People turn into crazed idiots. Toilet paper all gone, bleach is all gone, sanitizing wipes all gone, etc. Just plain stupid. I'm kind of glad Mom passed on with her need of dialysis would of for sure at some point got her infected and brought it home to Eileen and myself. Being dialysis centers are one be open room with people coughing and sneezing. Last year there was a case of pneumonia going around dialysis center, which mom caught a bit of and managed to fight off.

I know its been a while since my last posting. Finally getting control of my life. This is my first weekend at home in a very long time. Last weekend I ended up taking Eileen back to the hospital with stomach pains and vomiting again. After being there for 4 days find out that Eileen has issues with her pancreas. After 4 days in the hospital they finally nail it down more, but still have more medical testing and such down in Boise. In the meantime I got my transmission back from Weller truck and they told me sorry for the two bad sets of syncros. Covered under warranty. Truck drives nice and shifts smooth once again. Now I'm focused on getting the RV cleaned up and fixed ASAP. Reason why is if Eileen has any medical appointments in Boise I would rather stay in my own RV with my own supplies than hotel and eating out in restaurants. It will be cheaper and safer this way for us. Still got my buddy in Parma that will allow me to stay with Water and Electricity for the RV. I'm kind of happy Mom passed on seeing this Corona Virus problem this would be a ultimate down fall for her not to mention being in the dialysis room would be very dangerous to her and us if she would of brought home the virus. Other than that I'm going to back to work on Monday morning stuff a transmission back in a Chevy Truck.

Man now that I'm retired medical driver I'm not going to be able to catch you now @dripley. I've got 410k miles but no where near 600k miles. Wow! Congrads to you my friend.

Locally there is no problems, there is toilet paper on the shelf. Now yesterday I headed to Clarkson, WA and Lewiston, ID. OMG! This is totally insane. Costco is out of toilet paper, WalMart is out of toilet paper, and even Albertsons is out of toilet paper. I've still got plenty here for now. See people wearing surgical masks, etc. The paranoia is nuts. Now back home its just a normal day and no one is even talking about it. Just normal people living there lives out here in the back country of Idaho. That is one thing I've done is more or less turned off the TV. I go tired of the BS rolling out of the media mouth of how bad this is. Truth its pretty light weight virus being the death rate is so low. We've got states call for emergency relief or emergency aid with only a few cases of Corona Virus. What you will notice is no children are get getting sick or dying. Middle age people have really good chance of beating the virus. The only people having issues is elderly and people that have immunity issues. (AID's / HIV, etc.).

Mine only bucks bad about 30 MPH in 4th gear. Every time I went through Council, ID the speed limit is 30 MPH and the engine load is super low but RPM wise I'm right there at 1,200 to 1,300 RPM's and it bucks pretty good. Anything that brings RPM down that low tend to make it happen. I could downshift one but running 3rd gear at 30 MPH is like 2,200 to 2,300 RPMs for me.

He's only running about 17* at 2k. Rather retarded.

Give you an idea. First off my transmission was rebuilt back at 235k miles roughly. The countershaft 5th gear was replaced (larger of the two). Now at 350k miles last summer (2019) I was cruising the I84 heading west towards Ontario, OR and managed to tear the teeth off the weaker small 5th gear and eat both gear faces. NOTE: I've never had a 5th gear nut issues EVER! 410k miles and rolling... So make sure to upgrade all your weakest links. Also design in a way to release torque so the driveline doesn't get abused too bad. This is why I've dropped 265's stock tires to 245's stock tire this changes the final ratio to the ground to 3.69 which is my design release being the tires can't hold the full 47 PSI of boost so the tires will spin free. Then the lower gearing with smaller tires makes it super easy to get up to road speed quickly. Here is my long list of all my mods... 4 pages and growing... https://mopar1973man.com/garage/vehicle/101-2002-dodge-ram-2500/?show=mods

@DKfummins I'll call him out maybe he'll see the email and respond.

Starting from bottom up. Boost scaling is correct. Pump low boost Scale push that up to 10 PSI you don't need wire tap as low as 2 PSI. Minimum pump tap fueling set that for ZERO % TPS Min is OK TPS Max OK Wire tap fuel 1,600 is OK. Cant see light throttle timing - 3* (this will get you to 19* at 2k) Low pressure timing reduct set for 5* (50% scaling makes this actual 2.5*) Reduct scaling 50% (This will get you back to advance timing quicker.) Max load offset 1* is good for empty truck but loaded you might need 2 or 3* Max on the timing should be brought down some. This is not what most think. This is the max you can get while in cruise state. You can force the Quad to dump cruise state when twisting high RPM's. What RPM is it hopping at?

Nope. 27 are just fine and dont need more weight of group 31 which can start our truck with one battery like back in the 1st Gens.

Should make a new thread and list out all the mods.

I do not suggest Edge Comp the timing will be too retarded, smoke issues, and nearly need to run it as a 2x3 or 1x3 to keep smoke down. I'm a 10 year owner of an Edge Comp. I hated that you loss most all timing above 55 MPH. This is with my old 7 x 0.0085 injectors +75 HP.

Might want to add a support ticket so we don't flood the post with this issue. https://mopar1973man.com/support/

Another spot the sniffer will miss is the compressor front seal.

5A fuse goes in the blue wire of the PCM. https://mopar1973man.com/subscriptions/

I'll be installing to new fresh cables to the rear of my truck. Salt has really ate them up bad.

My exhaust brake is always ON. 90% of all my stopping is done off the exhaust brake and service brakes are used typically below 25 MPH. 18 years later my exhaust brake is still going. If mine failed tomorrow I would switch over to a PacBrake PRXB which is possibly the best exhaust brake.

Look like it could be but the only way to find out is to pullan exist pin and look at the dimensions. You might call Auto Computer Specialist and ask them which terminals are used in rebuilding the socket for the ECM on your truck.
