yeah I don't have the shudder so bad but sometimes the truck get's stuck in 1st going to second and won't let it shift until the rpm come down. Could this might be the probelm, also my truck has been surging sometimes at low rpm when I try to pull in the garage like the tranmission isn't doing something right like the engine rpm are the same but the auotcraptic likes to do it. could this also be the problem. thanks also I have 6100 miles on the truck

I stopped at a dealer yesterday.
they were unaware of the TSB - wondered where I got it - I didnt say
but I am going to stop by next week - drive it with a tech and let them order
the parts
Guy was pretty cool. He has a Z71 that he says he beats on.
I will keep you updated

I have 1500 mi. on mine and something wierd happened today. As I was cruising along I got on it enough to drop it from 3rd to 2nd but when I got off the throttle it stayed in 2nd gear at about 3500 RPM and would not shift back into third. I slowed down thinking WTF and about 5 sec. later it finally shifted. Are the 4L60E's really that plagued? Makes me scared to do a tune and get rid of the Torque Managment if it wants to act up when its stock.
