It's mainly a dd but like yesterday, I volunteer myself for the occasional odd job which consists of pulling car haulers and trailers to firewood.

Honestly Goerend or Suncoast will benefit you more, but it's more $$$. IMO

So I have a weird off topic question... Could I have a possible transmission issue cause around 45-55 the truck vibrates and my toms are aroun 1200-1500 when it happens. I was thinking I have slippage also cause when I rev it up alittle it actually seems like it takes a bit to get moving.... Or is it a diesel thing cause I'm not used to it...

sounds like you might have a problem with tranny. you might want to get somebody to drive and check it out.

Ok, so here's a question for you. Around 45-55 my while rig shakes... And it happens every time, now when I down shift into 3rd or I go a bit faster, it eliminates the shake. So I was wondering if that is my tranny slipping or just underpower at the rpms(if that's possible).... Cause of so, I'll start saving for a new tranny and TC from ATS. Or if it's needs something little, cause I'm really curious as what's going on...

Sorry for the similar post. I wasn't paying attention.

sounds like you may have a bad ujoint causing the vibration.check them & replace if needed.but i agree the trans upgrade would be a good idea as soon as you can,even if it is for now just the vb&tq con.my trans held up well with a transgo kit installed for a couple of years.the extra line pressure makes a big diff.

Yea, I'm actually in the mind set now just to not band aid it or delay it so I'm thinking to buy a nice tranny and then play with the engine with peace in mind knowing I won't blow a tranny...


And I also was playing around today and I decided to unplug the chip and when I drove it, I literally had no power.... Then when I plugged it back in, everything works fine just. NOw I'm throwing a code... Not sure which one but autozone will help me out with that tomorrow...
