Took the truck in two weeks ago Wed. Got it back last Sat. They couldn't find out what was wrong with it. Still ticked when I got it back. Going to work this morning, hit overdrive and the truck shuddered. Got out of it and babied it the rest of the way to work. Same thing coming home tonight. Hit overdrive and it shuddered. Like an out of balance shudder. Limped it to Wallyworld and checked the trans fluid. What trans fluid? After just 3 1/2 quarts it doesn't shudder any more. Ticking is down to a minimum. I figure the damage is already done. Rotating assembly in the trans, too. Converter low on fluid. Goes like it has some grip now. Hope I didn't kill the trans running it low. I can hear the injectors hum, the turbo whine and tire noise. All sounds I like.
