Re: Please help with codes!!!

Ok, feel free to flame away at me but I stated this was the first time I have ever attempted anything like this and not really mechanically inclined. I started the truck and pulled out to the street where I let it warm up. While running I checked the tranny fluid and found I was approx. 2 qts low DOH!!!!My buddy has a 2013 and he told me how much fluid I needed per his book so that's what I did and it measured good.....until I turn on the vehicle.... Now she moves like she should But I still need to have the exhaust put on with the O2's correctly put in.

Nobody is going to flame you! I'm pretty sure something like that has happened to everyone on this board, and if it hasn't then they haven't really challenged themselves. I had to go back and add tranny fluid to mine also. I thought I had the right amount, even filled the convertor, but it still needed more. Glad you figured it out. Keep us updated with your progress!

Re: Please help with codes!!!

No flaming here man, we've all made mistakes. I made a dumb one this weekend by assuming that the torque converter lock up was triggered the same way on the newer stuff just as it was on the older stuff.....it's not! Wasted 2 days of tuning....oh well, it's a learning process AND I'm not waiting on someone else to figure it out for me, I'm doing it myself.

This is a fact on the torque convertor. Old stuff used the brake switch wires to the trans to engage disengage the TCC. New stuff uses the same brake switch to tell the ECM, which then tells the trans via canbus to engage/disengage the TCC.
I thought I told you about that Rob? I don't know anymore who I told what about!

You probably did Shawn. My head is starting to swim with the amount of info I'm trying to shove into my brain. I feel like I'm back in Navy Nuclear Power school....
