Yea, we figured out it was not a renix, but plenty there still applies. "Mostly" renix it says.

Still the same as in post one? It works in reverse, but not forward? And you checked/cleaned your grounds, the braided cable to the firewall off the rear of the head? You have an ohm or less between the engine and battery neg...

Did you check the engine to bell-housing bolts I mentioned earlier?

I do apologize for the multiday hiatus, but what I found my problem was that the transmission itself was bad for it burned up on my way home from the tag office. I do thank the fellow jeepers who spent their personal time giving me advice for my issue.

It's a good forum group and for the most part VERY helpful.
Thanks for the follow up status. Closure is always appreciated.
I'd always recommend a trans cooler in the future with your new trans swap in.

I HAVE FOUND THE PROBLEM, AND EVERYTHING I DID WAS WRONG! Two months ago when I replaced my ignition switch, I had to take the dash panel off to get to it easily, and I left it off while tinkering with a no turnover in park (which happened to be the neutral safety switch) and what I didn't realize was that I unplugged my transmission control module which is attached to the panel. With it unplugged, the transmission couldn't function properly on its own which led me to spending 2000 dollars on parts I didn't need and many hours trying to solve problems that actually weren't even occurring. I had a friend on his way to my shop to help me put a new transmission in when for some reason I just saw the plug dangling from the dash, which led me to figure out what it went to, I remembered that the aquamarine color was on a little module, which I then located on my lower dash panel that I set aside awhile ago, Plugged it bag in and the truck runs like new again (transmission fluid a little pale from the extreme temperature after crawling home in first, will change). MORALE OF THE STORY is that if your transmission is having an untraceable problem like mine, check your transmission control module, for its like a little computer but specifically for the transmission on automatics. Have fun and good luck fellow jeepers!

Interesting. I don't think the engine side of the TPS goes through the TCU.....I wonder what was up. (maybe she waz just pissed off!)

Glad you found your problem, much thanks for getting back with the solution.
