    Shudder at light throttle

    I drove all day and I'm still driving and no shudder. I always had a feeling that this Tahoe is being held back by something like the brakes dragging but they weren't the only thing was that I found underneath was Rusty e brake cables so I soak them in WD40 today earlier and maybe also that dr...

    Shudder at light throttle

    Hey guys, last night I went to a car wash where you spray wash your car with a high pressure washer and and sprayed brake cleaner to all calipers and discs and pressure washed them clean. Then today, I went underneath and checked the emergency brake line at the rear of the Tahoe and it looked...

    Shudder at light throttle

    When I bought it 2 months ago... It already had a trans cooler in it....maybe wrong transmission fluid? I have tried 92 ethanol free octane. But I'll try it again to see if it still shudders.

    Just saw this black bear video versus stock quarter mile

    Okay guys, just called my father in law who races Top Dragster dials in at 6.40ish.... Just let me no that you guys were right.....1/4 mile time calculates The 1/4 regardless of reaction time... I learned something today. Thank you all for being patient. Now I think the Blackbear tune did a nice...

    Shudder at light throttle

    So when it starts to shudder, lightly tap the brake, and shudder will stop? As in just for that one shudder? Or stop the shudder for a significant period of time until a valve sticks or something?

    Just saw this black bear video versus stock quarter mile

    Let me explain it this way if you're just looking if a tune does any good to a stock tune and you throw away human error of let's say reaction time, that's all I'm looking at is how fast did the stock tune get in a quarter mile versus how much the tuned engine get. That way I know if they...

    Just saw this black bear video versus stock quarter mile

    So if my reaction time is .000 seconds and I get a 1/4 mile time of 17.00 on a stock tune and then I get a reaction time of 1.000 second on a BB Tune and 1/4 mile time is on BB Tune is 17.869 do you consider the stock tune to be .869 seconds faster? If you do then...lol

    Just saw this black bear video versus stock quarter mile

    All I'm saying is that video, whoever made it, was bragging about how much of a difference was made in quarter mile speeds. I completely agree that a tune is all it is, it's not a supercharger, its more of drivability and things like better shifting and throttle response etc....and some hp gains...

    Just saw this black bear video versus stock quarter mile

    First of all this video states that there's a .495 second quarter mile difference versus stock. I'm not trying to bash on Blackbear, but the real difference in quarter mile time since the stock had .305 reaction time difference is .131 seconds in a quarter mile...... That's not very good. I...

    Shudder at light throttle

    Lubeguard and Dr Tranny shudder fix are one in the same....Anyway, today drove all day in normal "D mode" and no shudder....I'm not going to get excited over it, 2 weeks of no shudder and I will be happy. I'm thinking of getting a Hypertech tune soon, and if the timing is advanced like the...

    Lowering & Vibration issues

    That's what I'm thinking since my father in law is a mechanic and told me my drive shaft angle is off, and that's why is vibrates...and I want to lower my as well.....I'm thinking it could help...heck the vibration is there now, changing it may just help?

    Shudder at light throttle

    My v4 is pretty smooth as well, but I was just trying to test in different modes to isolate the shudder.

    Shudder at light throttle

    When you say "it must be disabled in tow/haul mode" are stating it is disabled in tow/haul mode? Or are you presuming it is disabled in tow/haul mode since I don't get the shudder in tow/haul mode?

Transmission temp was as high as 180 degrees (usually 160ish degrees starts shuddering) was happy....so happy I bought the Lubeguard trans additive, came home and poured it in.... Then...

    Shudder at light throttle

    Very good check list....you sound like a very thorough person. No I didn't check the ngk iridium's for .40 gap like I should have (I assumed ngk's are usually spot on) I'm concerned about the cylinder 8 plug because it is so hard to reach and may have not tighted it correctly) checked u joints...

    Shudder at light throttle

    Well I bought the Lubeguard Tc shudder fix from auto zone today while I was talking to a customer service lady from Lubeguard 800 customer service ( thank God she was in the USA) who was very knowledgeable about transmission shudders. She said give it at least overnight to work it's way in. Got...
