I was running some errands around town. I put the hammer down and felt a major CLUNK in the tranny. Engine felt like it went into limp mode for a couple seconds...maybe, and then stalled out. Pulled to the side of the road and performed a key off, key on and the truck started right up and away I went.

Maybe the TC is getting ready to crap the bed?

So the converter failed, and then repaired itself? I don't think so.

This sounds more like an electronics problem. It could be a fault in the tune, or maybe a wiring issue.

Whose tuning? Mine has started doing something similar. Seems to get "lost" on downshifts in certain situations. It's almost like it downshifts to 4th with the T/C locked, lugs a little, then unlocks and hits 3rd.

The truck has had the H&S tune since new in 2012. 126K on the clock. 95% of the mileage is towing a 177K pound trailer.
