Message:
when i floor my r/t at about 60 or 70 my trucks rpms start climbing like normal and all feels well but a litle over 3000 rpm it drops 200 or 300 rpm then starts climbing again, its almost like it bogs for just a second but then picks back up . it is mashed to the floor when this happens and im not letting up at all . i used to have a 1995 isuzu rodeo that did the same thing but i never did anything about it , and just dealt with it. it doesnt cut out or anything cause its still accelarating when it does it , it just hestates a bit. what is this ???? any replies are appreciated

Someone correct me if I am wrong but I believe what you describe is the dreaded "torque management" on our trucks. Mine does it also, it has something to do with the torque converter locking up. Could someone w/more knowledge on this subject elaboarte?

You are half right Joey. It is the torque converter locking up, but has nothing to do with the "torque managment" function of the PCM. The only way I have found to get around the bog it to continually hit the OD on/off button until it rev up to where it woudl shift into OD.
