Had ~600 miles on the repair. On Monday, November 24th, wifey and I were out and about grocery shopping. Got finished at Meijer and loaded up the truck. Started it up and every time I would put it in reverse, it would kill the engine. Finally got out of the parking spot and when I put it in drive, the truck acted normal. What??? Got home (across town) without issue, but when I would shift to reverse, the engine would load up and die. So...
On Thanksgiving day, I drained all the fluid out and dropped the pan. Found that the new TCC solenoid came loose from its spot-welded mounting bracket and had bent the retention bracket as well. Straightened the retention bracket, installed the old TCC solenoid and buttoned it back up. Filled it up with fluid and it now works fine again. I swear, I can't catch a break!
