TRNW-2: 19 Ford 10R80 help or questions

[Steve Everett]

   I built many and replaced the valvebody on each one, and never had to
program the strategy,  they all drove out,  the last shop I was at  I ran
into two defective valvebodies that would not relearn or act right,
warrantied them out and the replacement drove out fine,   the other builder
had one a month or so before I quit the shop that even with a replacement
valvebody would not relearn,  so just to see he downloaded forscan and
entered the solenoid strategy and it smoothed out and drove fine ,  that is
the only one I've seen that required doing the strategy.

     You can try entering the strategy, and if it still doesn't act right
you have a bad valvebody.
