: Help: Drivetrain stutter/hicup

First I would like to say that this fourm rocks!!<img>

Ok here is my problem. I have a '04 Chevy CC LLY Edge/Juice, AFE II intake, MBRP 4" exhaust, clifford remote start. Stock everything else. Juice config: low fule on 4, defuel on 4&5, level 3

Scenario 1: After sitting at work all day I start the truck and drive home. Usually at the same spot about one or two miles I get what I think is a drivetrain stutter/hicup. It happens after a left turn at about 60mph at the top of a slight hill at light acceleration. It only happens once or twice in a short period of time.

Scenario 2: (Happened this morning) I remote started my truck and let it warm up to 140 deg. Then got in and drove for about 5 min. Then while I was slowing down for a stop the same stutter/hicup happens three or for times. I make right turn and it doesn't happen all the way to work which is about 13 miles.

Scenario 3: Going different way home from work about one or two miles on a flat straight road going a steady 60 mph I get a couple stutters/hicups. They are spaced out randomly or I can't see a pattern. There are right and left turns in between problem and work.

It doesn't seem to happen when I have been driving for a while. Any suggestions or things to try please let me know.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Greg

Sounds kinda like the "Juice turbo bark" if it is happening during shifts or when you lift the throttle. Unplug the Juice for a couple days and see what happens. Oh yeah, do you have the updated air filter for your AFE?

Doesn't happen during shifts and the throttle is steady. How do I check if I have the updated AFE?
