Here they are going into the ECM connection

Just Pull this set of wires away from the other and run them in a speperate split loom ,,,,then poak all the other wires back in the OEM split loom and put it all back together

Good Luck

Yes that what this is , At about 15 MPH when the truck trys to shift but dont then repeats then finaly goes into the next gear

Reset your APPS first then if its still an issue isolate the APPS wires running to the ECM

Once you clear this up its sweet !

Now to take care of 2 other issues 1. Dieing going into gear and 2. OD Lock Up

This work on 3rd Gen? I have a very similar issue with my 2004. Doesn't want to go into 3rd, then does, and quickly goes right into OD.

I had the same problem searching between gears. I tried all the quick fixes that I found but ultimately had to get a new TPS
