Awwww man tuff couple days..this virus has been here since late December in Vegas..had many sick people throughout January (gov always a lil behind)..but anyways got the ETRANS CONTROLLER all hooked up. Decided to go without the throttle position sensor and they say works the same.. O boy the trans was making a cavitation sound every time i started her up and couldn't figure why..I guess you have to put the transmission in NEUTRAL in order to get the trans fluid into the torque converter... who woulda thunk?? Well after the research on starting a dry fill transmission that's what you do fyi. Now she idles perfectly smooth.. It sounded as loud as cavitating a fire pumper... going to have to put the truck on hold for now until I can reason spending 1k for exhaust and a driveline... see u all hopefully in a couple months..
