Has anyone ever stalled their 4R100? Or is it just me?

I've stalled my truck by changing tunes at idle.
How are you stalling yours?

Stall? Never had one in 43,000 miles (since I bought the truck) and a plethora of mods.

No wait! I forgot about the IPR that died, and I had AE active when it happened... so it only took a few minutes to find the root cause of the stall. That was the only one.

Tune swap under load? Powerbrake and dump the throttle?

The only times I have ever stalled my truck, were situations in which wheel speed was up, and "actual" speed was not, to the point that there was enough load or "traction" and caused a stall. Examples would be sand dunes, mud, snow, etc.

Or when you are on a steep off-ramp and use the gas to hold the truck in position instead of the brake while waiting for traffic to move. The when its really time to go, you push on the pedal more and it dies...

Done the gas brake, but never stalled it.

I stalled several times after washing the engine bay with simple green then driving it just last night. It sucks. Today had one stall out in the morning before working on the old girl. She just needs me to put the new ICP in tomorrow and she should be good to go until the turbo and up pipes are purchased and ready to be installed.

torque converter lockup switch will stall motorbug if it gets flipped inadvertently before putting in gear, or making a stop...
