: Feels sluggish & Smells burnt....

I think I've got trouble. Censored

I installed the Juice/Attitude combo approximately 3 weeks ago. Since I installed it, I've been driving a little harder than before, but nothing I'd consider overly extreme.... I've only used Level 3 -- been afraid to try anything higher....

The last couple of days, I've noticed harder shifts (especially when cold) and somewhat sluggish performance. Last night and this morning it felt as if I was pulling a 10K trailer! Also, when I let off the throttle, I can feel a small "kick" - maybe I'm being overly sensitive now....

This morning I got out of the truck after driving about 15 minutes, and smelled an odor like burning. :eek:

Trans temperature was normal this morning, and both the fuel filter and external trans filter were replaced about 1500 miles ago.

Any ideas or help would be appreciated -

Thanks -

-Jeff

Take it to Mike L, near LAX and have him diagnose it.

He won't sell you anything you don't need.

Thanks for the input guys.

It's really strange. For the last few days things have been just fine... we'll have to see what happens.

Trippin - As for Mike L. -- I think I'll be giving him a call in the next few weeks.... Maybe not so much out of necessity, but so I can play a little harder! (Suncoast III?) ;) :D
