tow/haul light flashing and check trans temp shows up on display.
transmission goes into limp mode shifts really bad and also throws its self in and outta gear
im guessing my temp sensor has gone bad. should i change the sensor and the internal harness?
am i on the right track to fixing the problem or am i completley wrong
You're most likely right. I recommend changing both the sensor and the internal harness. 90% of the time it's the sensor, but it should would be annoying if it were the harness this time!
You are past due for a tranny flush and external filter change. Every 30,000 miles min.
Some might say I service my tranny too often as I have the dealer do the flush every 15,000-18,000 miles.
I'd rather be safe than sorry as 60,000+ of the 80,000 miles on the trk have been towing our 1/5 whl trailer with a combined weight at 21,200lbs. which is a pinky over the max. gross for the trk.
If we didn't tow as much at the max. gross then I'd go with the recommended 30,000 change interval.
