Default Something funny going on here !!!!!! part 2

Ok this is a leave off from my last post. I thought everything was good I changed fuel pumps and replaced O2 sensor and noticed the trans gasket was leaking so I changed it and now the story goes like this.... after replacing the forementioned and test driving everything ran great , went to work which is about 15 miles away and for the first couple of miles on the way home drove great and the ( &^#$@!#$^^&&*) happened spits and sputters and the tranny is acting like its slipping too WTF 2 things at once, so I detoured to a mechanic and he said unplug the battery and let it set for 15 mins because it might be gettin a bad code.....I said OK and did so ( it got about a mile away and did the same thing but i did notice the speedometer was still not working so crawled under the truck to see if there was any lose wires ( none ) and unplugged the battery again ( didnt help) and now my brain is stuck so in a nut shell this is what has been replaced.

FUEL PUMP
O2 sensor ( upstream)
OIL CHANGE
TRANNY GASKET FLUID AND FILTER

So if someone can figure this out please let me know, before I change brand of truck to CHEVY LOL

Since you've just been in the trans area, make sure there aren't any fluid soaked wire connectors or wires rubbing anything down there, particularly the downstream O2 on the driveshaft.


Stop disconnecting your battery. You wipe everything out as far as codes when you do that.

Haha, awesome. A bad code, eh?

Speedo not working will confuse the trans.

What brand fuel pump did you get?

Something is getting hot, and failing. Did it do this particular trick before replacing the above? Or was that stuff replaced in hopes of solving this particular problem?
