My '02 8.1L w/ 36k on it just developed a driveability problem.
Apears to want to stall when slowing to a stop (rpms go below 500) and sometimes feels like transmision isnt downshifting causing the truck to sorta want to keep pushing forward for a brief second.
Truck accelerates fine unless coming off of the stumble where it feels like a sudden acceleration from the brief delay.
Truck idles fine when in nuetral or park (no load).
Woried that it was a tranny problem....but fluid level is correct and looks good-red. I dont believe its been serviced yet...could a spin on filter replacement fix whatever is going on? Thought I may have read a while ago that that can cause driveability problems....
Problem apears to occure when warmed up...but cold out. Might be coincidence as it just started getting cold around here.
Got a similar post in "gassers" in case its an engine problem....sorry...
