I posted in the other post you had started. Yes, I am a transmission tech with dodge. And know the A604/41TE transmission very well. I was fixing them when they came off the transporter's. Here is what I wrote.

The fluid you should be using is ATF+4. I would say your transmission is done. I would recommend a reman or repair the one that's in the van.

 

So when I took the solenoid box off I took hooked my multimeter up to it. If you put one lead on pin #8 and touch the others, you get about 20 ohms off pins 4,5,6 and 7. Off the van it would vary between 18-23 ohms. When I put it back on the van a couple of them started at 70 or 80 ohms but came down to 20 ohms.

The input speed sensor above the solenoids gave a value of 530ohms (deep socket size 1 inch)
My notes:

 

Master Tech, I really appreciate you taking the time to share your expertise. What in your opinion is the matter? The engine dying and the van lurching when put in gear seems to suggest the TC is permanently engaged thus preventing the van from idling in D or R. Will the replacement of the TC itself solve this?

The car drove fine the day before besides this happening cold (like in the video) and initially dying at stops until the fluid got up to temp. Here is a video of that last drive


It was beginning to over heat near the end of the drive because the fan wiring was loose. It locked up in 2 I think to cool better (I've read that it does that) I parked it hot and got the fan running and let it come down to normal operating temp before I turned it off. It was making this whining sound when I turned it off. This is only the 2nd time I've heard it. Bear in mind I've only driven this van 4-5 times over a total of 10 miles together.


Funny how in the first video last post
how it died after I started it and put it in R, was fine when put in D but died when switched back into R. Big thunk! What's happening? And again, where is the issue localized?

Thanks again for your help.

 

The torque converter turbine inside the converter may have locked up and is causing your stalling problem. Dodge recommends to replace the front pump and torque converter and the input shaft. the problem is not the solenoid pack. Does the engine still stalls after the solenoid pack is disconnected?

 

Yes the engine still stalls when the solenoid pack is disconnected.
