Ya just changes ground location and eliminated those connectors. I'm just wanting others to try it. I spent a ton of money and frustration chasing this stupid issue. And this has worked. It's such a stupid thing but no hick ups. Just wanting others to try it out.

Anyone try this out? My buddies truck is still running strong. No issues

Ok these photos are of the one truck I have not done it to as its out of commission and hasn't been on the road in a while. This one did it the worst so I'm waiting on some parts to test this out on it. There are the two grey connectors. All I did was eliminate them and use butt connectors so that it makes a good connection. If you open those up they just look all corroded. Second picture is the ground wire that is just self taped to fender. All I did was take that wire off cut it and made a new one then relocated it to be grounded on the large bolt for the hood hinge. In that group of wires one comes from alternator, other goes back to firewall into wiring harness and the third is the ground. I just relocated it. Never added any additional ground. Here's a photo of all of them except one that I sold. It was a 99ex cab that was giving me hell before I sold it that was the first one I stumbled across trying the wiring change. And the blue one on the end is the one that has been parked for a bit.

I didn't add another wire to the alt for ground I simply changed the location it was grounded. I'll put some photos up tomorrow to show it better.

I'll have to take a better photo in the morning. one comes from the alternator and the other goes back towards the fire wall. I didn't know it was for the pcm. The second pic was what my buddy did that wire is a lot bigger than the red one I did. I just moved that ground to the bolt for the hinge. Never tested any for ac noise

Andrew give it a shot.

Ok sorry for the delay I wasn't getting notified of all the replys and have had a crazy day. There is a set of wires coming from the alt which are the grounds for it. Two have these grey connectors which I decided to eliminate because they looked all corroded so I used yellow butt connectors to eliminate them. Then there is a third wire that goes to the fender it's secured by a sheet metal screw. I cut that wire off and then decided to take a ground from the negative and ground it on the large bolt for the hood hinge. I didn't re set anythin just cut and spliced those wires and changed the ground that was on the fender. 3 of my trucks have been flawless since. A friend of mine was having the same issue on and off lately Monday I sent him the photos. He changed the wiring and that night the issues were gone. Talked to him Tuesday and again today still going good. Others who are having this problem give it a shot it's so simple. I couldn't believe it made it go away I was almost to the point of putting in a Manual tranny in one of the trucks.

you having the same issue

So i have combated this issue for the past 3 years. I have four second gen trucks for my company and 4/4 had the torque lock up issue. I have tried many fixes that were merely bandaids for a few weeks or months but it then came back. I have tried so many of the tips and tricks. Spent countless hours looking for answers and just a few months ago I tried the dumbest thing. It cost me less than 10$ and i haven't had a hick up. I didn't unhook any batteries. It was happening that same day. I just made some modifications and when i went for a drive it was gone. it has been over a month with out a hick up. Ive done it to 3/4 since one truck is out of commission. I just talked to a friend who's second gen had started doing it again this week it is driving him crazy. I sent him so photos and i got a text back an hour later. I had been doing it today and once he did what i told him it was gone. Are there still a lot of you fighting this issue right now??
