Maybe. Doing the electronics is certainly cheaper then rebuilding your trans, and I have seen MANY instances of exactly that happening, so long as the bands are adjusted as well.

Re-reading what I wrote, I note that I wasn't real clear.... Swapping the electronics/adjusting the bands, will generally solve the issue. There have been only a couple instances where it did not.

well that does make me feel better especially since I have that CEL come on for that solenoid electronics make sense. Anyways though I seem to have bad luck with that truck and it always seems to be worse case scenario so I have already been telling myself that transmission is toast so if by chance it is I'm not mad haha

Lotsa cool stuff you can do to it if it needs rebuilt, to make it essentially bulletproof.

Cross that bridge when you come to it.

Use 47RE internals for one. Makes it a LOT stronger.
Shift improver kits, sonax sure cure, which when properly installed, allows the torque converter to charge in park. (which means you can check your fluid in park as well.)
Extra clutches/steels. (with better materials...)
Lotsa fun stuff.
