need some help
Ok here's the deal&some background info.I've been working on my truck a little bit@a time for a month .Only real problem I had was for those of you who've read older posts of mine,know that around maybe 50 trucks shakes a little bit not much.I also sometimes get code 37 well I did plugs&wires&since its been sitting I've gutted the cat&tomorrow doing the valve covers because I've noticed a leak&I'm gonna be replacing the cap&rotor.That being said I don't know if the shaking has went away since everything I have already fixed or if it was maybe in the wheels.
So I'm just to be safe going to do a compression test&if all is fine there should I replace the tcc solenoid while I'm getting the alignment?My friends mom told me when I take it to the shop she will pay for whatever needs fixing.Just don't wanna throw parts@it that don't need it.I also replaced a tie rod sleeve the outer tie rods seem fine what else in the suspension should I look for?I'm gonna check ball joints also.P.s. the code only comes on once in a great while&nope don't have tow package.I'm wondering if maybe trac barbis bad?Ill check that also.Any other ideas?

If you have a trans temp sensor, it will be on the cooler line, very close to the trans. (the one toward the front of the trans I believe.)
Check the connections at the PCM for the TCC circuit. I think trans solenoids have a common power source, and PCM just grounds the solenoids to engage them. Is your trans shifting into O/D, and TCC locking correctly? If you have a lot of miles on the truck.... it sure won't hurt anything to replace the solenoids.
