Ok after much though and confusion my brain is spinning on a thought about my truck... I've had trouble with it for a long time now... When driving, some times it runs great takes off fast, acceleration is fast, shifts no prob couldn't ask for better...
HOWEVER. Other times it feels seriously sluggish. Like it's stuck in high gear at take off. Takes forever to get up to speed, no power, gotta push the pedal alit harder...it's about like it would feel if I was pulling a big heavy trailer....and it will go from running great to being sluggish back and forth constantly... It maybe do great and I stop at a light and when I take off it's switched to being sluggish...or vice versa..there doesn't seem to be any pattern as to when it switches back and forth between the two running quality's..
This started right after doing a brake job and tranny fluid and filter change and fuel filter change...I DONT KNOW IF THAT IS COINCIDENCE. ..
Facts that I know: when the guy was changing the tranny filter I rem him unplugging something on or in the tranny..I don't know what it was or if it was inside or outside the tranny...I do know he plugged it back in. But that doesn't mean he got it in right he was really incompetent..
I remember him having something happen with the seal that goes on the filter nipple that snaps into the tranny..don't know if it was cracked or broken or whatever or if he reused that one or the new one that came with the filter.. as I said he was a idiot..( I'ma idiot also for letting him touch my truck)
Also when changing one of the wheel cylinders on the rear he broke the brake line that goes to it from the "T"...there wasn't any brake line that size in the shop so he used a piece that was a smaller size to replace the broken one..
Other facts. My truck has never had a resistor in the pmd plug since I've owned it..and it used to run like a beast. when guys on her told me it was supposed to have one I bought both #5 and #9 ones..truck wouldn't start with either of them in so I took them back to the store...still no resistor in it...
I've noticed guys say that if the truck has a tune in it that it doesn't need a resistor. I don't know this for a fact but that makes me assume the prior owner may have put a tune in it... again I don't know that for a fact but don't know how the truck could run without a tune done and no resistor...
Is it possible that the tune got messed up somehow and that's causing the problem? Would that screw with the tranny shifting?? Or cause it to get sluggish at times???
I'm at a loss
