Ok experts I have a problem that makes no sense to me and could use all the help I can get.
So I have a 99 4.0 w/5R55E trans Check engine light is on though the codes are never for the trans. I have had the codes read by my local shop and they were stumped because when they checked each engine sensor or component they checked out OK.
Everytime I reset the CEL the trans slips going into second gear. It will do this for a few stops and then clear up and the CEL will come back when it slips.
The trans will also slip when I refuel the truck. Only a few times but it happens at every fuel stop. Again after a few times it clears up and no longer slips.
At all other times the truck drives great with no other symptoms at all other then the CEL being on.
I have had the truck into the ford dealer and had the PCM reprogrammed with all updates. The CEL was back on after ten miles down the road.
Any ideas at all would help as I am stumped. My next step is to drop it off at the dealer and have them run up a huge bill trying to figure this thing out. Thanks
