I have a 2006 that keeps setting a p0659 I cleaned and greased 20 pin connector no difference... I tested the voltage at tcm and at the 20 pic connector both showing 12 volts. I see that it should be 6 volts, any suggestions? Thanks

We cut the wire a few inches for the tcm and it still showed 12 volts at the cut it was dead at the 20 pin... truck drive fine until cel comes on then it's stuck in one gear... should I try a valve body wiring harness or tcm?

Check grounds as well for TCM. Also look at schematic and test each circuit for possibly being shorted together. Also I'd test all power circuits to TCM as well. Especially if you come to conclusion that high side driver internal to TCM is shorted. And when testing power and ground circuits I like to do loaded voltage drop.
