Was cruising down the road today in OD and the truck started jumping and dropping in RPM's. Acted as if tourqe converter was locking and unlocking. Just did it a few times then stopped. Tranny temp never got warm? Could this be a sign that the tourqe converter failing.

I had this problem last summer. All I did is add a little bit of Lucas Oil transmission lube and now it works better. It still does it under load, but not as often. I think it is either your servo or the converter itself.

Still having the problem, trans shop said the trucks computer is sending a signal to keep locking and unlocking the tourqe convertor. Trans is fine. I did very quikly throw the coolant temp sensor SES error. Will try replacing that and t-stat on the weekend and hopefully will cure the problem.
