Tranny issues?
In normal driving and normal throttle converter lock up happens at about 50mph in 5th gear in my truck and at about 60mph 6th gear happens. This is on an 07 lbz. Lock up happens on converters to give a 1:1 ratio between the crankshaft and transmission so it can be more efficient. All automatic...- SoCalMike

Tranny issues?
Best way I can describe it is when the transmission senses slip and pulls fuel. Rpms go up slow along with speed and then it will switch gears and act normal. At least that is how it was explained to me a long time ago. From what you described that is what it sounds like. Someone more...- SoCalMike

Goerend "R" or Goerend "DK"
Nice! I have a Goerend C converter and it needs to be replaced. Been looking at the R. From what I read it is a great all around converter. When the time comes, I will be talking to Mike about the converter choice and possibly adding a trans cooler while I am there. Sent from my XT1635-01...- SoCalMike

How hard are you in the throttle when this happens? Almost sounds like defuel to save the transmission. When is the last time the fuel filter been changed? Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk- SoCalMike

DHD Brace with leveled truck
I thought all years had the roller option? From what I remember if your cranked too much in the front the tierods will hit the dhd brace when turning at close to full lock. I could be wrong though. For me I like the cognito brace for leveled trucks. If I was lowered I would go with the dhd...- SoCalMike
