What kind of transmission is this? Is this a Diesel truck?

yes diesel 47re checked pressure at back clutch only had 40lbs. took off pan and found lots of debri iron and composite. dont understnad how it could have imploded so fast. installed tcu on wendsday drove it home from tranny shop, 10 miles. seemed fine only got on it once and it slipped more than normal under wot so i drove the rest of the way cruising 1/2 throttle and had really crisp shits. but i had to shit it manualy. makes no sense to me.

I'm assuming its the ATS or Sun Coast Converters valve body, as our controller will not work on a stock 47re. On the ATS valve body pressure is controlled by the cable and not by our controller. I suggest contacting the valve body manufacturer for assistance in determining what could have went wrong. If you only drove it 10 miles it would have had to slip the whole time to do that much damage.
