  1. Oh I see I'll have to check clearances again when I do the rebuild again. I must have done it incorrectly the first time, i just rebuilt the whole trans about 4 months ago. Do sell just the OD rebuild kits?
  2. So I just got done doing the multi meter test, I probed near the pcm and at the tranmission runs approx. 13.50 then drops to .2 when I hit conditions for overdrive. I disassembled the overdrive section in the valve body smooth bores no build up everything where it should be. Changed sensors again no issues. Looks like next step is looking like a od rebukld. My guess is with the increased pressures I blew the od piston seal... any thoughts?
  3. I may end up taking it to the shop at some point. But I would like to see if I could fix it for the cost of parts instead of labor... Any suggestions for things to test?
  4. This is my first post so I'll try to get everything out on the table. Let me start by saying I have done all of the work on my truck 1998.5 24v dodge 2500. My current mods in my signature are up to date as of today. So first mods into the transmission which is the 47RE included a BD Stage 3 build kit following a goerend triple disk. I drove it that way for a little over 3 months. Money came around now I just recently purchased the ranging pressure valve body from goerend. Still running stock flexplate and shafts(I know not a good thing to do). After installing the new VB everything was fine for all of about 2 days. On the 3rd day is when the problems started. At this point my truck shifts nice and firm and shifts when it is supposed to. Just no more OD, after I hit 55 lock up engages.. I've gone through and made sure the VB valves weren't stuck. I checked the 3-4 spring and piston no fractures or binding. I have changed my od/lu solenoid and the wiring in the VB for a KNOWN good one. Following that I purchased a new timbos tps as I have had p0222 for a while and after doing moparman's test I found mine was bad. Still no OD. I have not check pressure in the od unit yet... plan to next weekend. After troubles fixing it my self tried troubleshooting with Bob at goerend, he suggested to run a jumper wire and bulb probe from pin 6 on transmission harness and hook a ground to the cig lighter. He said the bulb should be lit from gears 1-3 and shut off when od is supposed to engage. Tried it. Light never turned on, HOWEVER when I did ground out pin 6 in the cab it made my truck seem to get stuck in low gear or lockup... couldn't tell at 10mph. Waiting for a response from Bob with my findings. I have gone through and cleaned and test every ground I can find. Running out of forums to scour for new tests. Any advice?
