Feels like I hit a rumble strip on decel, usually around 15mph. Not everytime, doesn't seem to matter hot or cold. Not a brake issue. Im not convinced its a trans issue either. Almost thinking its DFM related. Took it to the dealer, they couldn't replicate. I took the service manager for a ride and could only get it to do it once. He didn't seem worried, but said he would document it. Any else?

Yup I feel it too. When I shift to L9 instead of drive I don't feel it. So my guess is DFM causing the shudder. Try L9 and see if it does it.

totally different truck in L9....and no shudder. Cmon range. Do the 10spd!!!

 

Told ya, I believe my SEL that keeps flashing as I pull up to stop signs are actually being caused by the DFM shutter on decel, not the accel. 

 

I'd happily buy a Pulsar if I just didn't like the way the truck drove.... But the light flashing is BS and I'm not letting this go. I've talked to GMC and got the dealer GM involved now.

Tried a pulsar myself didn’t like the way the truck felt so sold it. I just run truck in L9 below 50mph. L10 above 50mph open to a dfm workaround if anything is available besides the pulsar I truck didn’t agree with it.

I like the Pulsare so far. I wish it was harder to adjust the throttle response, I hit it a lot lol. Happy with it otherwise and no shudder

I was hoping my shutter/misfire feel was related to the DFM (as my dealer states) as I'd give the Pulsar a try but unfortunately it is not the DFM. I've been running it in L9, L8 and i still get the shutter/misfire feeling when slightly accelerating while at cruising speeds.  50mph, 60mph, 70mph, etc.  once i step into it to downshift it clears up but while cruising with slight load, it's the farthest thing from smooth with a shutter/jerky/lugging type feel while increasing speed.  I'm starting to think it's tranny related or engine (while under load).

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉
