problems with Jet performance module
 

I have a 99 Dodge Ram 2500 pick up. Gas 2WD 360 V8 with 63000 miles. I
installed a Jet Performance Module and immediately experienced a check
engine light. I didn't drive it until I unplugged the battery (neg)
lead for a few hours and then drove it. Once the truck was good and
warm it wouldn't shift into overdirve. I changed the tranny fluid and
filter and tried it again with the same results. I took it to a
qualified mechanic who found a broken spring in the shift kit, a bad
governor solenoid and a bad fluid pressure solenoid. The shift kit and
solenoids were replaced, but it did have trouble again the next day. I
took it back and the mechanic found that the factory solenoids were
defective so he replaced them with higher quality after market
replacements and it still has problems. I'm trying to find out if
anyone else has experienced a similar problem. From what a transmission
mechanic told me, he has seen this problem with the Jet module in
another Dodge truck, but he couldn't remember what the result was.
Thanks in advance.

I recommend alt.autos.dodge.trucks for this sort of question. I assume that
you have shift kit in addition to the Jet module. If you want to get help
from Usenet, you have to list all your non-standard or performance
enhancements.

Ya know Earle.... If it was me the first thing I would have done was remove
the Jet Chip as there were no problems before it was installed, the OP
clearly states everything happened 'immediately afterwads..
