I know I got some problems with my Tranny but I dont get any codes.

it shift fine when cold, but then when it hot it wont shift unless you let go of the gas or shift to N and then back to D.

That I dont use my Truck anymore until I get some money to fix it
it saddens me everytime i get home and see her outside gathering dust.

Mine was about 120 ish, and I had those codes as well. Replaced the Govenor and ID selenoids and the codes went away. If I'd adjusted the bands I might still be going.

I have 152k on the factory one in my 2500. It has towed all of its life. It is still going strong.

[roger] What color is your transmission fluid? Might need a change.
