It's more likely to be a wiring harness problem than an ECU. The wiring diagram for your truck can be found online, probably for free.



There are two ATSG manuals that are good for that transmission, one is a dedicated rebuild manual, the other is a manual that covers it and the 4L60E, and includes the electronic/electrical diagnosis.

You make a great point on the TCU. I'll research the manuals you've referenced. Waiting on rain to pass here so I can get back under it and swap the input speed sensor. Thinking about swapping the neutral safety switch as well. I found a new one yesterday that had been picked up for another truck that has been sold. Nice to find stuff I had long forgotten about. As long as it's the same part from 95 to 98 anyways. I'm optimistic. I'll pull up wiring diagrams as well. Thanks for the info.
