I followed the electro static discharge (shielding) instructions and relocated the harness to the top of the alternator bracket. Test drove and guess what????

SMILED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THanks again!

+1 more....in and out of lockup has been driving me nuts...just had my trans rebuilt a couple of weeks ago and started doing this to me last week.espically annoying while towing and had me a bit concerned my new tranny was gonna have to come right back out....tried this trick this morning along with zip tied wire away from alt,and a bit of ground terminal tweaking......60 mile test drive and a big smile!....lockup problem solved!.....hopefully i didnt do any damage towing 140 miles with it jumping in and out like it was saturday

This was an old thread but it is true. My 2001 2500 started doing the surge after 180K mi. Wrapped the wire and Merry Christmas, it works!
