CAn a bad thermostat cause trans temp light/OD drop?

I hope that Jasper doesn't go bang. Old friend who were top notch builders used to cringe at the mention of Jasper, and told horror stories about customers replacing engines or transmissions two or three times to get a good one, or giving up on Jasper completely and getting a real full service shop to fix the problem instead. I hope you don't end up in that boat!

Okay. Hmm. I've always heard good things about Jasper. I read about a few bad experiences on the internet but mostly about engines not trasmissions. My trans guy says they've always stood behind their transmissions that he's installed. He's only had one that he had to pull out and send back to them, and they admitted fault and completely covered it under their warranty (including his labor).
Ultimately, if you're not aiming to get more than another 100,000 miles out of the truck and don't plan on working it hard there's no reason to spend any more than you have to on a transmission as just about any old rebuilt-to-stock unit will go that far. My factory unit puked at 98k miles, but it saw almost no highway miles for the first 96k so it was just constantly shifting throughout its life which is tough on juicers.
I'll keep my metaphorical fingers crossed for ya.

I'm rootin' for ya, man, hoping you get a good one. You probably will, as most of Jasper's stuff makes it through the warranty period and they often do pick up the full tab when things go wrong.

I'll let you know what the verdict is. Was driving pretty good, shifting through the gears fine. Did have it kick out of OD once, but that hasn't recurred. It does seem to cycle in OD with a change of RPM which signifies TC slippage. Which is what got the trans replaced in the first place.
Hopefully Jasper will live up to their 3 year 100k mile warranty.
