I've been getting an intermittent P0731 code on my 96 EB 4.0 4x4.
Had trans rebuilt about 2 years ago. Re-used the the original valve body and solenoids except for the EPC solenoid. I had replaced that one prior to the rebuild.
Problem seems to mostly occur when outside temps are 100+ degrees in stop and go traffic..
Seems like the trans doesn't downshift all the way down to first. When taking off from a stop it feels like the trans is in the wrong gear or is slipping. If I manually shift out of D into 2 then back to Drive it seems to correct itself but I may get a P0731, Gear 1 incorrect ratio.
If I stop. turn off and restart the problem most times goes away.
I plan on servicing the trans with a fluid/filter change and want to replace the shift solenoids at the same time since the pan is down. Can all 4 shift solenoids be replaced while the VB is still in place?
