A good friend of mine owns a very stout 03 F350 with the 6.0. The truck has lots of aftermarket goodies, big turbo, intercooler, intake, full exhaust, chip, blow off, ect
I borrowed his truck today and noticed that the tranny will shutter once your up to speed, rolling along not putting much load on the motor. If you get into the pedal the shutter will stop and the truck pulls hard without any tranny slip. You can tell the shutter is in the tanny and not a stammer in the motor.
My first thought was that his converter is going bad, I do know its a stock unit. I understand how they work but wouldn't considerr myself real knowledgeable about trannys or converters. Any ideas?
Sorry to high jack, just seemed a good thread to ask in, yall seem to know quite a bit more than me about these trucks.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

The malfunction you're describing sounds just like my truck. My converter let go and preceded to contaminate the trans and ... boom. When it started acting up I checked the fluid.. nice and red... I limped to my dads shop (20 miles) and it was black and cooked.
I also wanted bump this thread for any diesel guys who've upgraded there trans cooler/filter system... what did ya do?
