Well it was running great. I was on my way home about a month and a half ago and I hear a THUD and start loosing power. I get to the top of the exit ramp and it dies. I can restart it and idle but it seems unbalanced and dies when I shift to any gear. So immediately I think tranny/torque converter. But when I get it towed home I get no tranny codes...I get an IP code. So after thinking about it, it does make sense that the IP went bad and was causing the unbalanced idling since it would surge untrollably when tapping the accelerator.

Keep your fingers crossed for me that this is the only issue. I got a new factory rebuilt IP and new PMD pretty cheap, so we will see.
