Default TRANNY PROBLEMS AGAIN

I HAVE A 2000 4X4 360 1/2,REBUILT TRANNY 6 MONTHS AGO,IT WILL NOT PULL A TRAILER WITH 2 FOURWHEELERS ON IT I GOT A CODE OF P01740
TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY TOLD ME THE NEW TORQ CONVERTER I GOT IS BAD,GOT GOOD PRESSURE AND FLOW BUT WONT LOOKUP ALL THE TIME,THEY SEID I NEED TO CHANGE IT AND THE INPUT SHAFT,AND MAYBE THE PUMP!!

AS LONG AS I DONT TOW ANYTHING IM FINE,BUT WHY HAVE A TRUCK LIKE THAT IF U CANT TOW NYTHING!!!!!!

IT WORKED FINE THE FIRST MONTH,I PULLED A 23FT PONTOON WITH IT 2 MONTHS AFTER I GOT IT REBUILT,AND WORKED GREAT.

NO NEED TO YELL, I CAN READ JUST FINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If it's only 6 months old, and with all of the problems these trannys have, I assume you got at least a 12mo./12k mile warranty with it?

I believe that code is for the TCC solenoid(to lock up the converter)
Are you sure the catalytic converter is not plugged up. Pulling a load would definitely be way harder if it is beginning to clog up.
Does it slip when you try to tow? What exactly does it do when you do tow?

When in tow it will work fine for about 35 miles and then when u come to a stop it wont shift down to low to take off,and the lite comes on. U can shift it down to low and it works fine that way. after the 35 miles it dont work untill u clear the code and it will be fine untill u hook the trailer up again. guess what i really is trying to ask about is why change the pump and input shaft if i got good pressure,

I would get it to a GOOD tranny shop with the trailer and let them take it for a ride.
Not a dealership.
Did you install the tranny yourself?
Dumb question: Did you use Chrysler fluid ATF4?
Also, the TP cable may need adjusted at the throttle body.
Just some quick things to look into.

For ****s and giggles you could try replacing the TPS (throttle position sensor). It controls the TCC locking and unlocking.
