Default before i take her to the shop?

ok i had another thread but i need some advice my truck started droping oil pressure the other day but the gauge would come on and go off, when it was off i cracked a line on the turbo and it was pumping so i figured sending unit, then it started feeling like the brakes where on leaving from a stop now it wont hardly change gears and when it does it only goes about 15 and then the engine just spends up on the rpm without going anyfaster on top of that it will not shut off when i pull the key out, i reprogrammed my adr and it would shut off but still had all the other symptoms and after testing it with a new usb update it wont shut off again and my adr reads 0 on everything even with the adr off it still does this!
i thought bad tc, or bad pcm i guess im gonna take it in i need a full billit job and a tc anyway but this has got me confused as hell

First I would pull off the Adrenaline Completely including the harness and all. See how she runs then.

sounds like electrical gremlins somewhere. like luke said, i would pull the adren off completely, and see what it does. the trans wouldnt cause the oil press. gauge to not work or the truck to not shut off. ive heard of the adren causing trucks not to shut off. i had a problem with that on a friends a couple times and had to unplug the adren just to get the truck to shut off. so thats for sure where id start. good luck

well the only diff with the adr out is it will shut off it still wont shift and the oil pressure gauge comes on and off also i noticed it seems to be draining battery it was hard to start it did not roll over easy like normal

, that suck. In regards to the batteries being weak, you could check for parasitic drains. It's rather straight forward as long as you have a decent multi meter.

how old are your batteries? when your batteries get old and weird it can cause electrical systems to do bad things. you may want to change them out first and see if that changes anything.
