thanks for the replies, i took it down to ron at trc trans in chatsworth after i scanned it and could not clear the p-1753 fault code for the tva problem, we took it for a ride with the scanner plugged in, he then cleared the code and now it's working perfectly, he said clean all the connections at the tva and any grounds and it should be fine, he would not take any money, i just purchased a brand new mopar one on ebay to have just in case the one in the truck gives me anymore grief, did not know it would throw a code without the truck having a check engine light on, damn computer controlled stuff really gets me frustrated sometimes, my 2013 freightliner with a detroit is even more frustrating, you guys are awesome, thanks for all the help
