The only thing that is done is the converter when the extra power toasts it.

Is it normal does yours do it or do we have a problem
also two different dealers and techs worked on our trucks so cant be an error on the tech.

thanks guys.

If you back off the throttle when this is happening does it go away? It definately does sound like you are overpowering that converter, which really isnt too hard to do. You might be able to get away with just doing a valvebody and converter upgrade as long as there are no other issues in the transmission. This will allow you to run that extra 50-60hp without any issues.

I agree, when I had old beta 4.4 and the stock converter, I could slip it whenever I wanted to. Once it was locked I could still make it slip and shudder like crazy and I could ease back some and it would stop.

yea it stops as soon as you let off. but even if that is the issue that im over powering the trans witch is most likely so not saying im not but my buddies truck does the same thing since his rebuild and all he has done is a superchip flashpaq hes got an 06' 2500 could his converter be slipping also or samething with the cluches with his??

not doughting anything anyone is sayin just weird that it only did it after the rebuild for the both of us.

thanks for the input guys appreciate it.

Yeap, that is what I have. Towing under the right circumstances you will slip the converter very easy. If it does it make sure you back off of it or bad things will happen. LOL!!!! I could slip mine at 55-60 MPH going up a rolling hill towing with my Quad on level 1 and that being the only mod that was done besides exhaust and AFE stage 1.

No Goerend issues at all LOL..... You guys having a panic attack....LOL It was my stock tranny. I upgraded everything in my signature before I roasted my tranny. That was before the smarty and a few other things.
