Well hopefully someone comes along and finds the solutions to these issues; the low speed off idle might be mounts; I still have engine mounts to go..

but the other IDK. Seems these are all Dodge issue's very common.. and never any solutions found ever thread you look at.. no one ever solves the issue; they just up and disappear.

When the dealership says it's normal.. well that just goes to show you the ****ty product dodge made.. JK!

My truck too has a very faint shudder at 40-50 mph, I really have to pay attention to feel it anymore, AFTER the plenum fix. Before it was a joke how the truck would starve for power. I should assume that this is the TC lockout, and goes away after 1300-1500 rpms.

I will add that I also changed the trans output shaft sensor, made a world of a difference in crisp clean shift points, I also think this reduced some shudder with regards to the lower rpms and overdrive. Just my 2 cents...

I know we are talking about 2 different Engines here.. (somewhat) but 40MPH my truck is no where near 1100 rpm.. Mine is higher.. even after OD kicks in she runs about 1400 right around/above 45-50

ok guys gutting the cat will really mess up the o2 sensor especially if its located right in the cat. you`ll go through them like crazy. as for the shutter, if your torque converter locks up prematurely it will feel like you diving in 6th gear relativly speaking at 10 miles an hour. Sometimes you can unplug the lock up on some trks thats a good test if applicable. also will seem like a really bad miss in the engine. good luck....Keep Rammin

Thanks buddy I think I might have bad o2's because I have a check engine code for my #2cyl bank I read on here that it's for the emissions system. Is it all related?
