I've got a rebuilt 4l60e in my 95 Blazer. Problem is this. The torque convertor will function properly, ie locking up on one trip, but then the next trip it will not lock up. No check engine light due to this. What should I look for and what could it be? I have no idea why this is intermitent.

PS- less than 300 miles on the rebuild, I'm calling the rebuilder in the AM to find out what exactly he did and what could be causing this.

I'm reading thru my service manual and it has a bunch of things to check..

Electrical: 12v not supplied to tranny (fuse?)

Outside electrical connector damaged

Inside elec. connector,wiring harness or solenoid damaged

Elec. short(pinched solenoid wires)

Solenoid not grounded

TCC Solenoid

Engine Speed Sensor

Bad Converter

Engine Coolant Sensor

 

 

Thats just a start,there's more that involves the valve body and oil pump and other internal parts that the rebuilder should have inspected/replaced as they were working on it.

Well the problem is fixed. Here's what I did. Unplugged the 13 PIN wiring harness from the trans and sprayed both that connector and the one on the trans with QD Electrical Connection Cleaner. I readjusted the park/neutral switch as well as the brake switch. It works :D. The park/neutral switch still needs some fine tuning, and if anyone has any tips on that, that would be awesome!

Glad it was only the connector :D

 

Did you reuse the old switch,you can try and line up the witness marks that the bolts left....of course they make a special tool for alignment(J 41364 A) or you can apply the parking brake and turn the ignition ON engine OFF and put the tranny in reverse and adjust the switch till the back-up lamps come on...or there may even be a hole in the switch that may have had an alignment pin (usually a plastic pin) that aligned the switch in neutral..that you may be able to use a drill bit in as an alignment pin...just dont forget to pull the bit out...just a guess

Hey, where would I find this tool used to adjust the park/neutral switch on my 4l60e? It is aligned for the most part but it does not register correctly sometimes to a gear change on the electronic indicator on the dash.

      My brother has an Escalade. The warranty has expired so he told his wife to go to the Valvoline quick lube he uses some times. They told her if her car was a 2020 and newer 6.2 engine they wouldn’t touch it. Hers is a 2019, so they did the oil change.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      The oil filter has NOTHING To do with oil leak. GM sources parts from 1,000's of vendors and as with anything mass produced, flaws are unavoidable.    Putting a larger oil filter will do nothing but satisfy emotions. The OEM filter is designed for the engine and perfectly capable of handling the demands on the engine. Oversize oil filter could result in reduced flow and overall lower oil pressure.

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
