Truck is a 2006 with 120k miles. Some background first, the trans was rebuilt 12k ago by me using bigblues write up and an atsg manual. The valve body and rebuild kit were purchased from Muldoons and the torque converter is a dpc triple reman that I had sitting on the shelf from another truck. As far as fluid goes after a bit of reading on here I decided to use tractor fluid and type f in the transmission. Now the problem is I'm having an issue with the torque converter locking up when trans is shifted into drive and reverse and killing the engine. It's only happening intermittently though. At the same time the truck is displaying symptoms of a failing tipm such as randomly honking and flashing lights and erratic door locks. Both of these issues have cropped up in the past week. I am wondering how much control the tipm has over the transmission? Could it be causing the random lock up issue as well or am I just getting hit with a double whammy?
