I believe to torque converter was replaced with an upgraded/updated one. With the full torque eco boost I have no shudder.
Who out there has Hot Tunes and bigger wheels? Any trouble from the tranny?
I had 265/70R16 Duratracs and now 265/75R16 Duratracs with a GDE hot tune and stock trans. It does mildly shudder here and there, but I've been driving it like this for nearly 3 years now. I live in Utah in the mountains and generally it has enough power to turn the above tires. Sometimes, if I am going to slow and its in 5th(<60mph), it wont have the grunt up some of the hills and will kick down to 3rd in an annoying fashion.
Now towing is a different story. I have the GDE eco trans tune and when that goes into TC lockup in 4th and 5th it will shudder like no ones business with my trailer behind me, even on flat ground.
I am going to go to an HD Torque converter at some point when I get my life together. I want to be able to tow with it, but I cannot in its current state.
