I'm gonna try this question here as I need some quick suggestions and the truck forum isn't very busy most the time. Click here for the thread in the truck forum.

You might try cleaning connections at the PCM and at the trans. The PCM reads load and speed through the Throttle Position Sensor and the Vehicle Speed Sensor and controls transmission shifts. As for the enlarged hole, I would think it would only make a very slight difference. Also on this old of a truck, try cleaning every ground connection you can find.
Yeah, it's got a smallblock.

Well, after diagnostics the tranny shop thinks the front pump is bad. Excuse me while I go pull my hair out.

Sound's like it's time for a new shop.
Give Mike Karas a call.

Karas did rebuild it for me, he always does good work.
I took the truck to Richards Transmissions for a complete diagnosis. Another $116 later I was told the tranny filter element had sucked up into a hole somewhere and was blocking the fluid. New filter and I've driven it several days now with no problems, thank goodness. I didn't want to have to pull this tranny again, and I'm sure Butch doesn't either. LOL!
