TCC is in the torque converter, it is not user serviceable... gotta replace the T/C. Solenoid for TCC is replaceable. Think they come as a set, with the O/D solenoid as well. Might have to drop the valve body to change it... I would test the whole circuit first before replacing it. Would be a bummer to change it out, and find that the problem was a bad ground, or some such.

TPS should read around one volt at closed throttle, and greater than 3.5 at WOT. Transition should be SMOOTH. Best to test with an analog meter. If it jumps around, its toast.

 

so you think its the tcc solenoid not the tcc corect?

 

I would try the solenoid first, if all the wiring checks out. It is MUCH easier to get to, and far cheaper than a new t/c....... although, the t/cs are rumored to be pretty weak in these transmissions........

 

is this the solenoid? http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/web...NAMS_560501214____

if so its actually $43 more than the reman tc advance sells

 

I wouldn't install a 100 dollar torque converter on a bet, probably not even at gunpoint..... Unless, of course, I actually enjoyed doing such things, along with rebuilding transmissions...........

You can find them cheaper. Try WITTrans.com

 

What about the transmission output sensor. Drivers side mid way down. Get it from the dealer.

The output sensor and rear diff sensor work hand in hand. It can also throw ABS codes. Remember, a Durango is closer then a Ram to the Dak. Should have posted in the Durango section, however getting around on some issues are good as well.

 

FSM states the crank sensor as the pcm input for the tach. Dont see your year but 98+ can do the cluster test by holding the trip button. This would tell you if the ckuster is bad and/or give you a code or 2 in the display.

 

thanks for all the help, looks like im gonna drive it home and test everything there so i'll let ya know what i find out next week

 

Ok last question, when replaceing sensors like the tps or rear speed sensor i know you unhook the battery to reset the computer which i did, but does the ecu have to go awhile to "learn" the parts? Just thought i had heard this somewhere

 

That's the first thing it does when you start the engine up again. It will re-initialize the IAC, read the rest position of the TPS, etc. Don't step on the gas when you first turn the key on, just crank the engine, and it should fire right up.
