So I had 4.44 gears installed into my 2014 2500 and everything has been going great so far since I had it done at the beginning of January.
However I towed my trailer for the first time yesterday and it didn't go that good. It's only a snowmobile trailer with a atv in it but since it is enclosed it is like towing a wind sail. The issue is if I tow in 6th gear without a speed drop it will kick down to 5th, then back to 6th and repeat over and over until I lock out 6th gear. If I tow in 5th gear any little hill the torque converter will unlock and rev up, get the speed and lock back up and repeat the process. It varies about 500 rpm from 2500 to 3000 rpms and acts like a cvt essentially. I am not too thrilled with it but my big fear is it causing damage. When I went out to get lunch today the check engine light came on and the codes were a input/turbine speed sensor fault and 5th gear ratio incorrect.
Has anyone who has done a gear swap had this happen or am I just lucky?
I have no idea if the two are related or not but I'm not sure how to really tell.
