im gonna try to give as much info i i can and see what you men think the problem is.

i have a 2000 chevy suburban 2500 4x4. here's the deal. when i drive down the road and the transmission has shifted out, at about 1500 rps or so i get a hard/loud vibration. sounds like i run off the road and hit the wake up strips..if i let off the gas it stops and if i give it gas it stops. it happens at the time the engine/transmission has the least load on it (if that makes sense) not going up or down hill, but say on flat road, cruise set and you try up increase speed just by pushing cruise control +. does that make sense??

 

also, when i pull something and the transmission gets to about 190 degrees it starts shifting really hard. does anyone know what is causung these 2 problems?

sounds like torque converter clutch is chattering ,,,,

 

try this ,,,drive all normal ,,get it to do the condition ,leave foot on gas pedal,take left foot and touch brake pedal for a moment ,the condition should go away (disengaging the TC)

 

please reply as to the findings from above

+1... To be safe, check all your U-joints for play, check all your wheels for mud or snow, obvious stuff first.

If that's all good, maybe check the condition of you transmission oil. If its dark, or smells burnt, you have trans issues. This is not to say you don't have trans issues if its clean, you may get away with a simple T/C swap, or perhaps a wiring issue. (Not sure what controls t/c lockup on these)

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
