I have 2014 Screw with 6.6L, whipple, lots of boost and E85. I finally got things together and bought a 16’ +4’ dove tail trailer to pull my hellcat on.
I strapped it on the trailer and headed to my tuner before I start back at the track. About a 2.5 hr drive each way and being in NW Arkansas, lots of hills. Pulled it with T/H on.
The drive there, nothing crazy. Other than 7.5 mpg.
On the way back about 30 miles back towards home, my cruise kicked off. Kind of odd. Set it back at 70 mph and kept on. Stopped about another 20 miles later to top off with fuel. When I left the gas station, as the truck shifted from 2nd to 3rd, it never caught 3rd.
I backed off the throttle, tranny went in gear and I drove on.
It started to do this more frequent. A couple of times when down shifting and a couple of more times when shifting up in auto. I stopped, ate my pride and called the wife to bring the z71 man van suburban.
Pulled the car home with the burb and drove the raptor back with no trailer.
It still did it a couple of times when going up some good inclines.
No CEL codes. When it would do this, the gear numbers on the dash would flash as well as the D gear indicator on the dash.
I’m about 4000 miles in on the 6.6L.
Truck/tranny has just shy of 89k miles
It’s storming here now, and I feel totally defeated. I’ll look at it tomorrow evening after work.
Any suggestions? Lead frame? Tranny low on oil, filter clogged? I can have it serviced pretty quickly. Last year, before the 6.2L gave loose with the whipple, I pulled this car/trailer combo and didn’t have any tranny issues.
Where my house is, I live on top of a hill. I put it in manual 1st to crawl up to the house and even with that I had to back off once to let it re-find the gear.
I’m open to all suggestions.
