..let us know what's up...I had the p700, p734, p735 not too long ago and it made the truck run rough (yup, I have a diablo)... but, in my case i think the overdrive clutch's fried...I unloaded the programmer and downloaded new updates for it and it runs close to normal now...but it still needs a little rebuilding in the over drive area. I think it was more my driving habits that did my tranny in (very aggressive, go to track frequently, drive 100+ mph frequently)... and i got good use considering that it has over 150k...and still going..

 

Heard back from the shop, $700.00 in labor to track down and find a broken wire!!!

I have not gone in to pick it up yet, but I am having a hard time believing it took that long to find it, given the fact that the TCM code should have given them a pretty good indication of where to start.....

 

Oh man that's a nightmare!
It totally sucks that a wire break is your problem.
That labour charge is terrible, especially in you circumstances.
Good luck with everything though and best wishes for the job hunting.

At my job a 'broken wire' is a problem that went away before it could be properly diagnosed, but still want to get paid for.

 

Ya know, if it was June I would have had a hard time believing a broken wire. And I still do... sorta. But we had a TON of snow not too long ago, service manager showed me the new wire and I can see where, possibly maybe a chunk of ice tagged the old wire and knocked off the insulation and it shorted out and caused the problem....

I dunno- all said and done I feel like I got f!sted, but.... the truck is running good....

Couple of funny things, tho- usually the service department will call for a follow up after service- not this time. I think they might have a clue that I was NOT happy.

Another thing- there is a noticeable leak in the power steering system that they did not even mention at all. I have that issue under control and will fix it, just makes me think they let that go figuring I had been hosed enough on the "broken wire"...

Anyway, in the long run maybe this is a good thing, I have decided to go back to school for- of all things- auto mechanics!
