I did use the military style crimps. Crimped them and soldered the wire in there. Took a while but it looks much cleaner and more servicable in the future. I did not take a reading before, but after it was still not looking good. I disconnected the alternator plug and went for a drive and it still did the lokcing unlocking at highway speeds. So far ive done: WT mod grounded PCM to chassis cleaned the chassis grounds Military style battery terminals all 3 transmission solenoids with harness adjusted bands apps reset fluid is correct level in neutral on flat ground Next thing i think that i will try would be to hook up a multimeter to the PCM for tcc lockup and see if it disengages at highway speeds. If that looks good, ill prbably go and get a guage to check transmission pressure. Looks like worst case ill be ordering a converter and building the trans lol.

Update. Replaced all the transmission solenoids with the wiring harness, adjusted the bands, and it has fixed the limp mode. Looks like it runs much better, but at 70 mph it still bucks a little bit like it wants to unlock the converter. Im going to redo the ground/power clamps on the battery and see if that helps. If not, would it be safe to assume i need a new alternator?

Got around to messing with it after work and got a bit further. Transmission was stuck in limp mode and no power was going to the transmission harness pin 1. I have 14v at the blue wire off the alternator. swapped relays and nothing so i jumped the relay. it started to row through all the gears until it kept unlocking and locking the converter. i then did the ohm check and my multimeter said open. should i order a new solenoid and drop the pan? If yes, is there anything else that i should replace/do while im in there? thanks

Hello, im new here and to the 2nd gen community. Just picked up a 1999 dodge ram 24v a week or so ago from my uncle. Truck has sat for 5 years but fired up first try when i put a new driver side battery. secondary battery sits at 12.4v after charging it but primary wouldnt hold a charge. First drive, the car would approach redline at 30 mph, but after like 2 minutes, it fixed itself. Then i had the dreaded unlocking/locking of the TC around 45-55 mph. I did the @W-T ground and alternator wire relocation and now it does not like to shift or lock the converter when im on the highway. At 60 ish mph rpm is at 2500. I did the APPS reset after waiting a few hours with the battery disconnected and hooking them back up. Unplugged and replugged the PCM as i read somewhere that it helps in some cases. Transmission fluid looks to be nice and red in color. i hear these transmissions are kinda junk but i dont mind tearing into it as im pretty mechanically inclined. I just do not want to start wasting money at buying parts that i do not need. Looking forward to getting some insight. Thanks. Forgot to mention, i also have 0 codes other then the block heater which is disconnected as i live in California. Not sure why they are disconnected, but does it harm anything?
