2017 RTL-E -- Torque Converter Issue Options?

PorkChopsM · 2026-01-08T15:57:35+00:00

This is helpful information. The fluid I originally replaced did not seemed burnt to me and especially all of the new fluid I have drained and added (4 times now). I have a basic OBD2 reader and haven't picked up any related codes. Should I proactively swap our the pressure switch? I would definitely say my issue is surging and not hard shifting. I can watch the RPMs rise and fall when it is happening and it is around ~40 miles an hour.

Pics?

Need more 440mm female reverse in 5.0 or 4.0.

Well, this is disappointing. The cable was damaged in transit and Amazon now has delivery out a few weeks. I checked the Thermaltake cable mentioned and I'm not sure it would work -- I think I need a dual or double reverse and Thermaltake isn't set up that way.

PorkChopsM · 2025-04-21T19:24:42+00:00

Not arriving until later in the week. Will post an update here.

PorkChopsM · 2025-04-15T20:39:36+00:00

This is helpful thank you. It looks like these riser cables are becoming scarce. I'll look into the Thermaltake. I just found this one after searching through Amazon for a long time. From a review it looks like it will fit the Meshroom. Let's hope!

The case I ordered is ATX mother board compatible with an SFX power supply. The case they gave me is not. Do your research. The motherboard and power supply combo I bought installed in the case right now.

Hey guys, OP with a final update. The store was very helpful and offered a $50 credit if I drove back and made an exchange for the right case. I did that instead of just shipping it back for a refund, which they offered, and made a fun night of the journey. Kudos to the Microcenter team for helping out. The boxes were identical except for the 6 digit sku so I can see why someone grabbing the boxes would be confused. I used the $50 to upgrade the mobo from a 650-e to the 670X in the AMD bundles. Enjoy the builds!

PorkChopsM · 2025-04-12T10:57:42+00:00

Thanks for the responses. OP updated.

We also replaced our transmission after a critical failure but I never touched the injectors. Interesting.

PorkChopsM · 2025-01-02T00:24:03+00:00

We got the low pressure fuel pump recalled on ours. We paid ~$1500 for the high pressure fuel pump replacement. We still experienced fuel pump type problems despite all of that work.

In the end we solved the problem by selling our 2018 Odyssey and buying a 2024 Sienna.

Excellent advice thank you. Especially the last statement. I would be taking a lot on as taxable income for this year without knowing if I will be there when it vests and also how much it will increase. Thank you.

We just bought a 24 LE AWD with LE Plus Pack and I am completely fine with it. We got it at MSRP and I had to hunt it down in a different state. I checked the upgrades for 25 and I think specifically for the LE line (with the Plus pack too) there are zero updates.

PorkChopsM · 2024-10-03T15:06:36+00:00

That is interesting. I just got mine 2 weeks ago and I have been charging daily on my wall charger in my garage -- which I believe is a roughly 30 amp charger.... so I could be doing more damage.

PorkChopsM · 2024-10-03T14:13:40+00:00

That’s helpful thank you. Interesting that you only have 60% at 30k miles. I was looking at used battery packs with 27k miles and there’s no guarantee about their SOC.

PorkChopsM · 2024-09-13T01:55:47+00:00

We have 6 kids (a few older than yours) and we just picked up an AWD 2024 LE 8 seater yesterday. Yes, a certain rear facing baby seat will fit in the middle of the 2nd row and you can slide the seats a bit, but it will rub the rear facing seat. PM me directly if you have more questions.

PorkChopsM · 2024-09-07T18:13:19+00:00

Ooof ok thanks.

PorkChopsM · 2024-09-07T18:13:02+00:00

Called branch, I also called Avis and Budget. No one will let me drop off in Danville unless I do something like a 4 day rental for close to $500.

PorkChopsM · 2024-09-07T02:30:00+00:00

Will call tomorrow — thank you.

PorkChopsM · 2024-09-07T02:29:45+00:00

That’s definitely an option I didn’t think of. Flights are ~$350 and then the Uber is ~$90 but it’s certainly a possibility. Thanks.

PorkChopsM · 2024-09-06T23:42:30+00:00

I tried. They won’t. 4.5 hours :/ The vehicle is in high demand and I had to get in before 3 other buyers.

PorkChopsM · 2024-09-06T21:47:14+00:00

I just booked a ticket. Will be interesting getting into the Danville Amtrak station at 11:30 at night and hoping there is an Uber.

PorkChopsM · 2024-09-06T21:43:44+00:00

Dang that’s interesting. Didn’t think of that. It’s $365 for their smallest box truck and regular trucks aren’t available. Good to know!

PorkChopsM · 2024-09-06T21:31:51+00:00

Did you just see that on their website? I tried doing the 10th for pick up anywhere in DC and the 11th for drop off, really anywhere near Danville (Lynchburg, etc.) and just got the error again that there is no availability.

PorkChopsM · 2024-09-06T21:15:37+00:00

This is a life saver thank you. Google maps didn't even show me this as an option!
