I know this has been discussed here before, just wondering if anyone had any new info to share or something they have found to work. Here is what my truck (2015, 2500, 6.4) is doing and has been doing since new. When you slow down from a higher speed to make a turn onto a new street, slowing down to approximately 15 mph, once you accelerate, the truck will shudder and shake like the transmission is slipping. It only does this when the truck remains in 3rd gear. It will not do it when it down shifts to 1st or 2nd. This is the only scenario where this happens. Using Tow/Haul prevents this as the truck will down shift out of 3rd when slowing down. It does this multiple times a day and can sometimes be a violent shake. Over the last 4 years I've taken my truck in 6 times since new. My responses have been..
1. Its new give it a few miles
2. Lets Flash the transmission
3. "
4. We can't find anything wrong with it. It doesn't throw a code.
5. Transmission Solenoid Recall
6. Just this week...I had a mechanic ride with me to show them the shudder. They said to replace the Torque Converter. I drove home last night after they replaced it and it did it 3 times on the drive home.
Now I'm stuck. I plan to call the dealer again today but I don't know where to go from here. Between the various times I have taken the truck in, I have tried to sell it but didn't get any good offers. Now I wish I would've but now I don't feel like I can sell it in good faith knowing there may be something wrong with it.
Any Ideas? My warranty is about up so I thought I may try something in the aftermarket but not sure what to do. Pedal Commander to make it down shift quicker? Diablo Tuner? Aftermarket TQ Converter? I have no idea. I like the truck and have had no issues other than this but I'm at my wits end. Sorry for the ramble.
