Hey everyone, I’ve been reading the forum for awhile and now it’s time to join in.
I bought a 2005 Escalade AWD off craigslist to tow my other projects around town. I had it a week before the problems started. It felt like I was driving over the rumble strips on the side of the road when I was driving around 40~50 mph. It drove fine if I turned on tow mode. I checked the fluid and it looked like strawberry milk. My radiator sprung an internal leak and put water in the transmission. I replaced the radiator, added the tru cool 40k transmission cooler, new filter, and flushed the transmission. Still shuddered around 40~50 mph.
Next, I replaced the filter and torque converter with an advanced auto parts Pro King converter. I was going to buy a monster transmission converter, but advance had a 25% off online sale. Now it almost feels fixed, but I can still feel a little slipping when around 40~50 mph. I’m suspicious of the quality of the Pro King converter, but I did have water in my ATF after all. It still drives fine in tow mode.
I just ordered the corvette and superior 4th gear servos to help bump up my pressures. If that gets rid of the 40~50 mph slipping, I’m going to tow my Jeep around and see what happens.
