It fixed our '07 when it was doing that at 28k miles. The only problem I had was convincing the dealer they needed to do it.

 

I was told at the dealer that you can't just re-flash an 05' cummins?

 

Unfortunatly the powertrain warranty is only good to 70,000 miles. The engine warranty is good for 5 years 100,000 miles.

Murphystrut when you do the solenoid replacement let me know how it went for you. Was going to do it this weekend but it doesn't look like thats going to happen this weekend. Never fails Thursday you got nothin goin on for the weekend, Friday you get off from work and the whole weekend you barely got a free minute to even think. Funny how that happens. Anywho hope it works out well for ya!

 

IMHO group III oils and fluids should not be allowed to be called or labeled synthetic even tho they can do so legally. The below info is from from AllPar:

The use of Group III base oils is probably the leading cause for ATF+4 being a more expensive fluid than ATF+3 (which according to the paper uses a Group II base oil).

The paper noted that one alternative was to use synthetic Group IV base stock, which are even more expensive than the ATF+4 solution, which provided Group IV style performance from Group III stock.

Manufacturers can make ATF+4 fluids, but to use the trademarked ATF+4 name in their compatibility list, they must have their fluids tested and licensed by Chrysler engineers, and must use Lubrizol in their formulations.

About oil groups:

Group I base oils can have a mix of different hydrocarbon chains, with relatively little uniformity; these oils are the least refined. They are usually not used for autos.

Group II are the most common base oils in “dino juice,” with good performance in most areas except cold temperature viscosity.

Group III are called synthetic, and have high molecular uniformity and stability. Group III oil bases are used in most synthetic oils.

Group IV are chemically engineered stocks, arguably with the highest performance and longevity.

 

Group III-based lubricants have proven to perform just as well as PAO's in most measurable characteristics, and even better under some conditions.

 

Hey fellas need another piece of adivice. So i got the new gov pressure solenoid, and wanted to know if anyone has had any good or bad experiences with the Lucas Oil automatic transmission fix. Have used before if a couple gasers, but wanted to know what experience people have had with a diesel. Also any info regarding the Lucas motor oil would be great as well. Wish that wallet would allow for a new throttle body but oh well this should do for now. Thanks again for all the help.
