2000 excursion stalling when put into gear v10

I have a 2000 v10 excursion and once in a while when I shift from park to drive it will stall and lunge forward. It will stay running if I go to neutral but as soon as it goes into drive it will stall and also reverse seems to work sooner than drive will come back I have been stalled and had to put it in reverse and pull to the shoulder. Any ideas I have done research but would like to see if anyone has any experience with this situation thanks

There are several possibilities.

Low trans fluid, damaged/missing internal filter, leaking internal seals, sticky torque converter clutch control valve, leaking internal seals, worn out pump, or a bad torque converter.

So it could be a number of things I also heard tcc solenoid could cause the problem or torque converter so I guess I just have to start and eliminate things thank you for your input

Yes, I left off the torque converter clutch solenoid. That's another possibility.

When mine did this, it was low on fluid. Always start with the simplest fix!

I checked the fluid and it's at the max line on the dip stick

No it doesn't blink it's weird just kinda lunges forward a bit and dies but then will start right back up I can let it sit for ten minutes or so then it will go

Did you check it with the trans warmed up, engine idling, and the trans in park?

Two miles isn't going to warm up the 18-ish quarts inside the 4R100 unless you're beating the absolute crap out of it. While I'm sure the level is fine, you may want to check it again after actually warming up the transmission.

How's the fluid condition? Could help point things in the right direction.

On a side note, my Chevelle had a 700R4 when I first acquired it. A few weeks it, it would stall and lunge sometimes coming to a stop - it ended up the TC lock-up solenoid starting to go out. It would only do it when coming to a stop after going fast enough to engage lock-up however.

V10 stalls at idle

I have simular problem. Drives normal, but at idle like at a stop sign it stalls. Kinda intermittently, but worse when the AC is on and /or lights. The OD light flashes when it happens and then goes away when restart. Abs light does a little on off dance sometimes too. Seems electrical.

I changed all spark plugs, changed that output shaft sensor from the code reader, checked the cop's and replaced one. Maybe I missed a bad COP in the checking of them, but I really think it is something else.

Did you solve your problem? Any advice?

Thansk,
Matt
