Talking connections

Did you double check all wires, make sure you did not pinch them while taking the old motor out or putting the new one in. Are you running the truck cam and injectors aswell or did you switch ?
By the way was the tranny from a wreck? It would seem than it would be internally or the lock out switch solnoid is on or stuck, not the right connection.
