Told you I would let everyone know how it turned out, so here it is. TCI called me and told me that they cut the converter open and found that the clutch linings had come off the clutch discs. The...

Told you I would let everyone know how it turned out, so here it is. TCI called me and told me that they cut the converter open and found that the clutch linings had come off the clutch discs. The...
How do you figure that it is the accumulator causing the problem? The accumulator is to cushion the shift, and even if the accumulator piston was broke, forcing the converter to lock with the...
Have sent off the converter back to TCI, will keep you posted on what they tell me on this one. Just an update.
The filter should have kept any pieces from getting into the converter. don't think that is an issue, it was just a damn good thing we found it now, instead of after the trans would have failed all...
Well after two days of problems I finally got the factory converter put back in, and guess what. The factory converter goes into lock up like it is suppose too. During the process of taking the TCI...
Just not sure how they can clasify this as a performance converter, and it barely last one year, with only about 18 trips down the 1/4 mile on it, the rest is daily driver miles. The really sad part...
Was reading a thread the other day about someone with the same converter, having the same problem, it not wanting to lock up. He mentioned that just before it died, it acted like the transmission...
jimmyblue - yep, pain is right, PITA. Found my receipt, got the converter January, 2005 and it only has 10K miles on it. Had only been to the drag strip a couple of times. That really sucks that...
Tonight was an adventure to say the least. The good news is that I was close to home when this happened. Made an 8 mile round trip, and on the way back the trans temp went as high as the temp gauge...
Took a drive today, with my wife driving the truck, and me working the laptop. Used the scanner to force the TCC solenoid to the on mode, and the Lock up never happened. Guess this means the...
Zick - Thanks for the info, will have to give it a try and see what happens. Take bets on wether the converter clutch fails folks?
Is there a way to force the TCC to engage while driving, that way I could eliminate the converter as the problem?
Boy I must be a real dumb ass, I know, but I saved the file to my computer and did what you said to do 12SecSS. But it said that it is an incapatable config file number:72 when I tryed to open it. ...
EC Tune - what do I need to use to open your file, it said that the program used to create it was unknown. Thanks anyways. Maybe I am just to dumb to figure it out.
I always listen to what Jimmy says, he is the bomb on stuff like this, just did not have time to set it all up before I had to go into work. Will try and log some time with it tomorrow. Now if I...
Checked the DTC's and the only ones there are the PO102 & PO103 because the MAF is disconnected, and it has been disconnected for a long time and it always had lock up before. When I have more time...
Have had this cam in for sometime, not had any problems with setting codes, but will check and see if there is a misfire code. Check back in a few, will have a dtc reading soon.
Will hook up laptop and give it a look. Thanks for responding.

It started yesterday and never payed it any attention until today. Thought that it was because trans was cold and it was a short trip, but today I let the truck come up to temperature before driving...
So far doing my own tunes, using this site and others for help when needed.
For those of us that don't have access to a dyno, a drag strip or long flat highway works, while logging some runs, you can see what cells to use for increased timing. Make some soft runs through...
Let me throw a wrench into the mix. If you have a high stall converter, then there will be more heat generated, as the converter allows the rpms to come up. But once in lock up, this does not...
Have noticed that it helps keep the trans temp down a little bit on hot days as well. My truck does not have e-fans, so was more interested in changes that might be needed to timing. But you hit on...
Quick question about after you install a 160 degree thermostat. What would you have to adjust in your tune for the change in thermostats? Thanks for the help. :cheers:
