disconnected neg battery terminal before installing.

coupled with the SC update, should be good.

hmm... good point.... try a "hard reset" take off one of the battery cables and hold it to the other one for 30 seconds... I have never done this but it is supposed to work the best... anyone know for sure which cable (+) or (-) you unhook? i cant remember...

just curious, all I have to set is the time on my radio when I disconnect. I've read they recommend disconnecting the neg batt terminal whenever you do most anything to these trucks.

to the best of my knowledge, the only way to do anything with the tcm is with the DRBIII scan tool. that includes resetting it. only thing i can think of is to bite the bullet and disconnect the battery for a while. if that still doesnt help it, take it out.

ok so i disconnected my battery 10 mins ago, ill give it another 10, go out and reconnect and see if it fixes the tranny.. if not the resistor is coming out... oh well


***edit: i reconnected the battery and no difference. i took out the resistor and went for a test drive and everything is back to normal. whould it make a difference if i went with a smaller resistor or does it have to be the 2.2k?

Anyone else with an 03 like jk360's and having trouble?
I'd like to do this mod if most 03's don't have a problem with doing it.
I have the TMR delete mod done and that certainly was worth doing.
