Another thread about clunky downshifting, I just wanted to start fresh. Like so many other people I sometimes get a clunking noise and abrupt downshift when slowing to a stop. It also occurs when I'm slowly cruising through a parking lot and I let off the gas and it decides to upshift into third when I'm really not moving fast enough. I have the max tow package with 4.10 gears, from other posts I've read this seems to be the common culprit. My theory is the 4.10s result in higher engine rpm but slightly lower wheel speed so sometimes it thinks it's time to upshift or downshift a little to early or to late. Maybe the transmission program is not adjusted for the gear ratio compared to the normal 3.73s. I would really like to know if anyone has brought there truck to the dealer for this and had it corrected, also has anyone seen this go away after putting taller tires on it? Very curious about what taller tires will do to this issue as the tire height changes the wheel speed in comparison to the rpms.
