Take the batteries and have them load tested, nothing you have done gives me any confidence you have good batteries, most "jump boxes" are designed to help a vehicle with low batteries not missing batteries so not performing well on the jump box is no surprise,
Nobody on this forum is going to...
There is nothing serviceable on that TCM.
You can replace that one with the older style that requires a plug in EPROM, the EPROM can be bought at Eastern, it is the cheapest way to go as the rebuilt TCMs are around $200

I replaced the high idle control with a modified throttle control off of a 5KW gen set, worked pretty well.
I was surprised at how well it maintained speed given it was just a throttle control, of course you have to remember to release it when you want to slow down.

First you should never knowingly drive without TC lock, the torque converter makes a tremendous amount of heat when it is driven out of lock.
Second do you have a working trans light and if you do when was the last time you read the codes?
That is the cold start advance, you should be able to carefully squeeze that barrel connector in the wire fitting to get it tighter, if not you may need to replace the male connector. (Would be female in ANY other world than the military)

Meters require you to plug one lead into a different place on the meter to read amps and of course a different meter switch position, you may need to read the instructions for your meter.
This was very confusing to me as I have changed a ton of hoses on HMMWVs and have never put a 3/8 hose on a 5/16 hard line.
I have a M1097R1 4 speed truck on my lift and measured the hard lines to the transmission.
I have no idea where your lines came from but the hard lines on that truck (and...
The fuel filter should have been one of the very first things changed before parading around the neighborhood showing off your new toy!!
Lose of power and smoke can also be a clogged or partially clogged CAT or intake filter
If you are seeing 12V at pin X at the TCM connector then the circuit is complete.
What I would do to confirm is use my meter on the 10A scale and short pin X to ground simulating TCC lockup and measure the current.
I would expect to see about 1A, this is a modulated (PWM) solenoid so take the...
