I'm not saying it is, just that it possibly is. If you have a different axle ratio, you have a different RPM on the highway and different air flow through the CAC. The difference might be enough to cause or prevent the problem.

That's interesting thought. Someone might want to poll drivers and see if it varies by axle ratio.

I have the 3.73 and have not experienced it.

I'm with him. Four times over 33k miles

However, it has only happened a few times and I knew it would each time after the first.

I need to get you to cross the river and drive on the hills around my house to test if this fixed your shudder, and if I should bother taking my truck in.

I got the New CAC just a couple days ago. I have the 3.73's and experienced it numerous times before.
