Truck cutting out

2001 Dodge 3500 Edge 100hp injectors, edge comp box , smarty, BD turbo,4" exhaust, Dr. Evil Tranny, Afe stage 2 intake,FASS 2, tripple lock torque converter, and a full range of gauges. I've put all this stuff in now when I really get on the pedal it fells like the Torque converter is locking up and realeasing rapidly enough to make the truck shutter. I guess another way to describe it would be as if it were you had a vehicle that was running out of gas but you stayed in the throttle. I know there is fuel pressure because it has never dropped below 13 lbs. Just looking for ideas. Somebody told me it could be a computer issue will re- installing factory settings then putting the smarty and edge back on ??? Any Suggestion would be great

Your VP may be going and causing the truck to shudder. It'll do it even if your fuel pressure is fine.

I have a manual torque converter lockup switch on my truck. If I forget and leave it on and start slowing down as if coming into a red light, it will do what you are saying because its locked up of course. Can you control lockup via controller or switch with your trans?
