Installed Shift Kit Now Truck Won't Move?

I just finished installing the Factory Tech shift kit and when I put it in gear the truck won't go anywhere. I installed everything according to the instructions and plugged the sensors back in etc but when I try it in any gear the truck just revs and won't go anywhere...any idea what could be the problem??

Also per the instructions I took the spring out of 2-3 piston and on the 1-2 piston I used the factory tech spring up top and one of the original springs on the bottom...

Might want to try the Trans forum on this site. I would.

BTW- Have you re-booted ? That would be the first thing I would try. This not only clears the KAM's AF's, but it clears Trans tables. Not sure that will help, but it's worth a shot.

I tuned my trans as well, thru hardware, - about 3 years ago. Reason: I wouldn't move as well, just slip.

Hows Reverse ?

BTW- Post your trans model, you have NO info top right corner, - not even a signature. So, if you want help, post engine, trans, tow package every post until you get your info filled in correctly.

Then Engine , trans 4r70w 4x4.

Also, search this ~Factory tech VB install~ in the trans forum only. You can do this from a drop down menus @ the right, by forum tools. - Once your in that forum.

Thanks I been lookin at that one too. Good news!

I got it fixed. It was that manual valve lever or whatever I didn't have it lined up correctly so it didn't have nothin to grab on when I put it in gear.

I believe you were messed up before you started that project, - you had one arm in a sling, from what I recall. Damn, that was a few years ago

Yeah I had just ran my whole right arm through the press, crushed my hand and forearm all the way up to my elbow, I never knew my arm would fit through a 3/16"-1/2" tall gap
