There was no flare of the engine when this was happening. Shortly after that I had the CEL come on. I continued to drive on the interstate for another 10 Miles. When I exited and came to a stop I started and it would not shift out of 1st. I pulled into my drive way and read the CEL codes. I had an o2 code, Multiply cylinder misfire codes, and 2 transmission codes. The 2 transmission codes are P1740 and P1756. If I did my research correctly they are (TCC Or OD Solenoid Performance) and (Governor Pressure Not Equal To Target At 15-20 PSI). I let the truck sit until the next weekend to fix the engines problems so I could get an accurate read on the Transmission problems. I finished fixing all of the motor problems and cleared the CEL. After I finished that I proceed to check the usual things for the Transmission. Checked Trans Oil for color,smell, and particles...OK. Checked oil level in Neutral after it was up to temp...Ok. Checked the Shifter linkage...OK. Checked the Throttle Linkage...OK. Adjusted the Front Band...OK. Test drove the truck and when it was cool it would shift through all the gears at a higher RPM than I though it should. After the Transmission was up to temperature it would not shift out of 1st. The CEL has not come on again. So my question is: Could this be the pressure solenoid from your post? https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...ng-issues.html
And also the TCC and OD Solenoids? Is there something else I should check?

Thanks in advance for the info

here lately, when slowing accelerating (almost idleing) from a dead stop...and also if slowly accelerating on the x-way....the truck will lunge/jerk a few times unless i give it more gas. Almost reminds me a driving a manual transmission and being in too high of a gear...
i've read through all 23 pages of this post and didn't see anything. I apologize if this was covered elsewhere on here.

I'm not getting any DTC codes (from using the key trick, my actutron scanner or the scanner at 2 mechanic shops - except for the occasional codes for the evap system)

i'm hoping this is nothing serious..
new plugs/wires/air filter/oil filter and oil

thanks for any insight

i seen somewhere on here how to adjust the bands

i'll let you know how it turns out

Are you talking about the K4 18 BK/LB ground or the battery ground?
I will check both of those but just wanted to clarify.

When the guy got the transmission built to handle the motor, he told the guy that he wanted extremely firm shifts so the transmission guy put "one ball in it". That was my friends words, I don't know the first thing about chebby transmissions.

Anyway, my friend told me that when he gets on it and that transmission shifts it will leave a 2-3 foot skid mark. Pretty crazy huh?
