Put new factory tech valve in last night , when i give it half gas from dead still it sounds like i have the brake on , took it out check everything the best i know (by the directions) everything looks ok but still doin same thing, and want shift into overdrive. This is my dailydriver and worktruck so any info as soon as possible would be app. (its a 4r70w 02 f150 5.4l)

 

I would check all the eletrical connections at the solenoids and wher it conects to the main harness at the case look at the conecters to be shure you did not bend one of the conectors over also did you get the bottle cap in the rigt way on the 2/3 accumalter and did the acculalter stay in position? also is the shift valve in the shift arm?

 

I know the shift arms right, i think the accumulator an bottle caps right , the cap i put back like i found it and accumulator is all the way up with no spring, preaty sure connectors right but ill check all that in the morning. Thanks for the input.

 

Is the truck running like it is stuck in second gear?

 

No it would shift ok under light gas though 1-2 and 2-3 then it wouldnt shift into overdrive, but if you stop and gave it half gas it would sound like the brake was on, lug the engine down . So lastnight put stock valve body back in and runs great, i think it shifts better than before so i dont think i was doing anything wrong, but i just couldnt get an answer from Factory Tech or any help from them at all

 

if you are still having problems with your FTVB you may want to hit up Mike Dunn at madenterprise (mike@madenterprise.com). he is pretty knowledgable when it comes to the FTVB's (he provides his own detailed installation instructions) and i purchased the FT separator plate kit through him. he was able to offer a lot of direction with the install. he also contacted FT specifically for my application. couldn't hurt to ask

 

Sorry i didn't get back to you sooner. Sounds like a stuck valve or maybe a misplaced gasket, I'll ship you a replacement valve body if you will send a shipping address to me at gregg@factorytech.net
