Ok, well #1 where in ther heck in the inspection plate? #2 what is the
flexplate? Where is it at and what does it do? I assume something with the
CPS which has the magnet on it? This noise was happening before I put the
new CPS on last night, and the old CPS sensor's tip was in perfect
condition, no signs of something hitting it or damaging it. I am thinking
now about just making an appointment with a good tranny shop and have them
analyze it. Can they hook my truck's tranny up to a computer/analyzer and
see what is going on and if it is tranny related or not? Since Bob suggested
to look at the torque converter and the torque converter solenoid, I figure
the tranny shop should be able to tell if the tc is the culprit, right? Next
question, how would a bad torque converter or bad solenoid cause my truck to
stumble and stall on ocassion and not allthe time? I am just going to make
another appointment with another place, possibly even Dodge, and take this
thing in. No sense wasting my money anymore on parts which arent bad just
hoping that new ones will fix the problem.
