This is a new one on me - I have the HD E4OD 4X4 trans w/transgo kit.

I installed the shift kit quite awhile ago 5 months or so . I removed my rear cats two weeks ago and I just gutted my forward cats yesterday, now I'm getting a loud clicking noise coming from the solenoid in the trans. I thought(hoping) it was the exhaust , but it's not , it's coming from inside the trans right where the solenoid is , in that corner.

Anyone experience this one before ? How does gutting my cats effect the trans in any way ? I rebooted the comp and now I have a PO401 code , I'm not worried about that , I know what thats all about, what I don't understand is this loud clicking all the sudden..

Thanx. jbrew

 

Ive had leaks that sounded like a metal against metal sound. They can be very small. I would look at the exhaust system at night and look for leaks. Cant think of any other reason you'd get that..

 

I'm about to go thru it again out in the shop- How does at night make a difference ? I hope your right..

 

Yeah , the exhaust is leaking in two spots and now the clicking noise sounds like its inside the exhaust - but not at the leaks . I could swear it was the trans before - Its leaking where it clamps to the Y - old pipe , wish I had the bucks to replace all - need a welder too darnit - these clamps aren't gettin it , they frickin break to easily , new ones and there 3/8 clamps!!

I thought the front cats where clogged up - that's why I gutted them - now I have more problems .

I'll see if I can get them clamps tighter , I replaced the DPFE , that got rid of my check engine light .

The trucks way to loud - even with a 24" Maggy in the back

Ill order two Magnaflow cats tonight - hopfully that will smooth her out a bit.

Thanx for pointing out the exhaust , I had thought everthing fit together well - not good enough as it turns out..

 

At night you can see the flash..

 

What a nightmare now - cleaned the threads on the flange bolts , best I could put a little heat to em and they still freakin busted off - now what - you ever try drilling one of those out - It just aint happenning , this stinks.

Well , I'll try making a new hole next to em. I'm not even going to attempt to remove the manifolds..

I needed the damn truck this morning too , what a biaattccchhh!!!
