I have a CA-emissions 02 D/A SB CC LT and have been running Juice level 1 most of the time.
I've been juiced for about 4 months. Anyhow, I towed a large trailer weighing about 12000 pounds (hitch mount) a few weeks ago. I used Juice level 2 and have an Isspro EGT and boost gauge. I noticed while accelerating, at anything over 1/2 throttle, the 1-2 shift was accompanied by a very violent high frequency shudder. There was no hint of wheelspin or wheel hop.
I just moderated the throttle, and thought to myself this must be the dreaded "fishbite" that juicers talk about.
It was pretty bad during the trip, so after getting home, I pulled off the Juice to see how the vibration improved.
It didn't. Even without juice, the 2nd gear shift (or even second gear, full acceleration) will shake the cab violently. I have a limited slip diff.
Trans levels are OK.
I'm headed to the dealer unless you guys can figure this out.
