Torque Converter Acting Wierd

Both should be able to log that parameter.

This thread should help you out with that:

Thanks for the link, lots of good info. Is there anyway I can log any of those with an Insight CTS?

You can view engine RPM (RPM) and output shaft speed (OSS) on it but I'm not sure if that will give you what you're looking for. I would say try it first and see if they match when the converter is locked as shown on the (GEAR) PID. Note it will also depend on what gear you're in so you want to make sure it's a 1:1 ratio with the engine (which I believe is 4th gear).

That’s awesome, Dustinandjosie! I hope the replacement process won’t take too long and will go smoothly.

output shaft speed isn't on my list of PIDs...

I saw one list that said it was there but the Edge website list for an LLY is below....looks like SOL on that one.


Accel Pedal Position
Barometric Pressure
Battery Voltage
Calculated Fuel Rate
Desired FRP
Desired Idle RPM
Engine Coolant Temp
Engine Load
Engine Oil Pressure
Engine Oil Temp
Engine RPM
Fuel Level
Fuel Rail Pressure
Fuel Temperature
Gear with TCL
Intake Air Temp
Main Inj Command
Main Inj Fuel Rate
Main Injection Timing
Manifold Abs Pressure
Mass Air Flow
Pilot Inj Command
Pilot Inj Rate
Pilot Inj Timing
Throttle Position
Trans Temp
Turbo Boost
Turbo Vane Position
Vehicle Speed

Looks like the LBZ and LMM can monitor the OSS PID though.

Ya, I just did a quick Google search and its '06 LLYs and LBZs..

You may be able to get a member out your way to help you check it with a V2 though.

I called mike and he said i got a bad converter, he called me later that day and said new one was being shipped and i should recieve it tomorrow. thats bad a$# customer service !!! thanks mike. anyway gotta pull the trans again tomorrow and replace it so ill let you know the outcome asap

Just wondering if you were able to install the new torque converter? have you noticed a difference?

hey andy if you need someone with a v2 let me know!
