NicksCummins

Mine doesn't shudder a single bit. Once it locks up, it locks good and stays locked. The torque converter locks at 27mph in 3rd gear sometimes and is able to stay locked at just around 1000rpm. 1st and 2nd gear are gutless though. - - - Updated - - - If I had the money, I would find the best transmission, build it, and throw it in my truck. As of now, I just have the budget to fund a 5 speed. My buddy has a 97 that all he does with it tow gooseneck trailers, and he has the 5 speed. He loves the thing, and I've sat in it while he was towing. The gear rations aren't ideal, but they're more than suitable to tow a cummins on a gooseneck.

It doesn't feel like slipping or shudder, it just feels like the torque converter isn't giving me near the power that the engine is actually producing. It feels slushy.

I'm looking to go with the 5 speed for simplicity, and in general, I enjoy driving manual much better. For $3000, I can do a complete 5 speed swap. That is less than a full auto rebuild.

So far, I have what it says in my signature. Intake, Exhaust, and 75hp Injectors. The transmission was supposedly "rebuilt" according to the guy I bought it from. I bought the truck with 196K last year in February, and now it has 226K. When I bought it, I installed a Superchips Flashpaq, and ran it in Tow Performance (40hp) all the time. I sold the Flashpaq and bought the 75hp DDP injectors. The transmission doesn't hook up very well until the torque converter locks. Once the torque converter locks, the truck pulls hard and does very well. Im looking to get into another chip, most likely an Edge Juice w/ Attitude. Im expecting that running the Edge with the injectors is going to take a huge toll on the transmission. Im looking to do a 5 speed swap in the upcoming future, but for now, I want to know how well the transmission will hold up with both the Edge and Injectors. I tow regularly about 5500-6500lbs, but I try not to drive the truck like I stole it. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
