I got rid of all codes and fixed more wiring.

I still am stuck in 2nd. Either I have a bad pump or bad valve body.

I had the tool to test trans pressure!

Here is the problem. I botched the AFL Sonnax kit somehow. Its entirely stuck. This causes problems!

It might have also caused burnt up frictions. I'll still try to drive it and hope that it will last until spring when its not cold and ******.

New valve body came this morning. I hope to have everything back together this weekend.

Finally got a new valve body and put it in the trans. I only had a little bit of time but got the truck to start on stands.

I did some logging on stands. I logged requested gear and calculated ratio based on input and output speed sensors.

I slowly went up to 70mph and saw all gears requested. 1st to second was too fast to catch the ratio, but results were.

2nd, calc ratio 1.47
3rd, calc ratio 1.0
4th, calc ratio .78

70mph was around 2000rpm, which sounds sane for 4th.

A friend wants me to full throttle on stands. **** that. The truck is pointed at the middle of my house.

It's rainy, cold and may snow soon. I'm too delicate of a flower to break down in this shit. I'll take her out later :)

Also gotta say the part throttle shifting was damn smooth. I've got my hopes up.

My AC started only blowing hot air. AC still worked in the rear. Turns out I had a bad actuator. Got a new one from Amazon, but still had problems. Turns out you have to let them calibrate. Here is was I did.

Turn all AC off and heat to coldest temp

Disconnect neg battery

Connect battery

Get in truck, close door

Turn ignition on but don't start motor
Wait a couple minutes and listen to your actuator chirping. I felt it moving. It's discovering the bounds of the blender and can take a while.

Start engine and go for a drive to get heat in the system for easier testing.

Park, engine off, open and close door. Supposedly door open and close ends a cycle, what that means I don't know.

Start truck and test! Mine worked at this point.

This thing under passenger dash near center console.
