2003 Explorer 4.6
5r55w, replaced 2 speed sensors, found temp sensor broken, replaced solenoid pack, same issue, still between 2-10 miles highway driving , od light kicks on, message center says check trans, tcc unlocks, the truck drives fine except the converter wont lock up, drove 2 hrs from NJ to PA, and 2 hrs back, no issues, no gas mileage loss that I noticed.
My question is it safe for the trans to drive without the tc locking up? It cruises about 1800-2200 between 60-70 mph, i dont push the truck, I pay attention to the rpms when driving. I dont feel like replacing the trans at the moment besides budget wont allow right now.
