    Just a hunch but there is a crappy air fitting either up on top or on the left side near the top that is prone to failure.I wish I could be more specific but that's all I can tell ya. Hopefully it's something simple like that!

    There are 2 air fittings,they leak often,usually I replace them once a year or so. One of them is leaking right now, but you must be leaking big if you getting a message on board. Crawl under with soap water and go nuts. If it's them u should find out quickly

    Check air firing on drivers side of transmission. They had a recall with redesigned fitting for this problem.

    You'll hear it leaking with the truck off...

    there is an air tank on pass side of truck connecting to the three regular air tanks, this tank is the transmission air tank on the inlet you will find a pressure control valve, replace this and then try to see what happens probably valve is stuck and not letting the right amount of air in, if it is not valve then in will be a pressure sensor in the trans most likely.

    No doubt! I love this board.

    Hey Jerry or Nasriza, how hard is this to swap out?
