I can't even begin to tell you how many hours I have spent trying to get my gas pedal to stop vibrating. The problem is intermittent and varies in intensity, but it drives me crazy. It is way too early in my testing to draw any conclusions, but I tend to be very nice to my truck and generally accelerate fairly slowly. When doing such, I have noticed that the gears change at higher RPMs than if I accelerate more briskly (not real hard, but taking off a little stronger). If I am still in the process of depressing the gas pedal further before the truck shifts into second, the rest of the gears click off at lower RPMs than if I evenly depress the gas pedal and hold it there before it shifts into second. When I reflashed my tune on Friday, I decided I would see if being a more aggressive driver would change the self-learning process for the truck and maybe get rid of the gas pedal vibration. So far, that seems to have worked?? Could being more aggressive change the setting for how the torque converter engages and force it to engage quicker/stronger thereby eliminating vibration? I doubt that I have locked in on something, but I have never gone this long without the annoying gas pedal vibs.
