Converter chatter

[Saltillo Express]

Thought I'd float this out there -

(2013 Express Hemi 6spd) It seems / sounds like I'm getting (for lack of a better description) torque converter "chatter" between 25 and 30 mph. Is anyone else having this? The truck is new (less the 2500 miles). It seems more pronounced at regular driving from a stop. From a dig - can't really hear it. But regular slow normal driving - I get a little chirp,chirp,chirp,chirp right as it shifts from 2nd to 3rd at 25mph to 30mph.

Anything? Anybody?

Goose - thank you. It looks like it. Is that a TSB in that picture? Man wow. You got anymore on that?

see the top case #, take that in, and dealer or service dept can look that up.

I owe you one beer.

Very common and when that converter is in there it is annoying how much shudder it has. I knew it had to go when that happened to me. The problem is since I got that original bad one replaced my truck has never been as smooth.

Matt that's a slippery slope. It could use a pinch more stall. F-n Chrysler. Torque Converter slop from Mexico.

I have this, dealer claims they don't hear anything.

had a tsb done for the odd shifting, still sucks with how much it shifts around and in and out of mds.

WHY DOES IT SHIFT OUT OF OVERDRIVE INSTEAD OF SWITCHING OUT OF MDS ON THE HIGHWAY??

stupid electronic crap.

I though you young guys loved all this electronic stuff?

They are going fix a lot of this when a true performance flash becomes available, I think. At this point people are selling flashes, but the thing we all want is control of torque management. And I suspect they will offer the ability to at least turn off the MDS. In my little express, at 75mph into the rain with ECO on - it will bog down to 69mph - the whole time limping along in freaking ECO mode.
