Truck is a early 99(3/98) F350 crew cab with no mods.
I've brought my truck to 2 powerstroke mechanincs that seem to have caused more problems. To give you an idea of what's going on, the GEM was bad so I replaced it and it had the computer/
GEM, etc reflashed to the the most recent software and not only did it not fix the problems I had, it created a new one:
1. *Torque converter won't unlock from overdrive until downshift.
2. *Windshield wipers and radio still work with key turned off.
3. Engine has no power. I can unplug the map sensor and it runs a lot better but still doesn't make the same power as it used to. I swapped the map sensor with a known good one and it still ran like crap.
* These issues were present before the GEM was replaced.
