    Default TC lockup solenoid

    Anyone one have leads on affordable Torque Converter Solenoids?

    No TC Lockup started off intermittent now it just won't lock at all. Tested TC Solenoid and it was 1046 ohms. The other two tested to spec at 13ish ohms

    Cheapest I've found is Autozone at 100 bucks, Orliey's is 260. But I'm hesitant to put one of their electronic parts on my vehicle even if it is just a SOlenoid.

    Rock Auto sells a full set of Solenoids (1,2 and TC Lockup) for 156 before shipping. Or individual ones for the same cost.

    So I guess question is go "cheap" and replace the one bad solenoid or replace all 3 at the same time since I"ll have the pan off anyway (along with the Trans Filter/screen). For reference the Jeep currently has 188,000 miles on it.

    Another idea that was pitched was just to pick up an OEM junkyard Solenoid.
