Damn, I suck. I would have bet on TC lockup problems from the way you described the surging on the highway. Now I am going to go away my sorrow from being dumb .

 

If it makes you feel better, that's what I thought too at first.

 

pull up a seat bud welcome to my world

 

well you should have stated that in the problem shouldn't you have?


mann, i quit drinkin, i feel like such an *******

 

Me too.
From the description, I thought it must be the TC.
But......Pyro didn't give us all the info ...........

Anyway, that's what I'm sticking with lol.

 

I gave y'all the same info I gave Hammer

 

Not to toot my own horn, cause even a blind dog has a rabbit run right under his nose once in a while, but I had the same story last night on AIM, that y'all got.
Pyro stated that he thought his TC was going and I asked him the symptoms, then asked him if the tranny was slipping during the surges, because that's what happens when the TC "slips".
I knew at that point that a cylinder was not firing off intermittently (and you won't get a CEL if the cylinder fires off the next time). The truck had to rev higher to maintain speed with seven working cylinders. So a problem within the cylinder (piston, lifter, etc.) was possible, but usually not the case with an intermittent problem. Broke parts as a rule, do not fail, work, fail. Only things do that are damn electical problems. So I told him to get his a$$ outside and check his plugs and wires, figured it was a severely cracked boot...

BTW Pyro, get you a new wire set yet?

 

my truck surges sometimes at idle but not when driving, that i can notice. thought it was a dodge thing... should i check my wires too or does hammer know of another problemi should check out?
