Thanks John - the one that crapped out has 130k on it. I never heard of having to fool the PCM on the trans temp. I never had that issue in my 99 sport with the same trans when I put the shift kit in, but I do know they changed the solenoids in 2000 so maybe it's different for an 01. The pressure may have been much higher than 105 but my gauge only went to 100. With all the other issues, I thinks it's a best bet to rebuild it or put the other one that I have in it since it is the same trans and has been rebuilt if all tests out ok.
I am not sure whether or not to bypass the check ball in the line that others recommend doing. I see no issues with it on this truck, but I plan on flushing the lines/cooler before I replace the unit. Thanks
