RPM drop between 40 and 50mph ONLY
Getting this info second hand. Here Goes.
Blazer 4 door Automatic W/144K miles on it. Shifts fine, does not show any sign of a Miss while under load. But drive at a constant 40 miles and hour and you get the feeling of a gust of wind hit the side of the car. the Tach does Drop in RPM. You can accelerate out of this and it will drive Happy at 55 and up. At 35 and under it is also happy. No Codes. I think I am ready to say that it's not an Ignition issue. Maybe the Lock-up Torque converter is bouncing in and out? Trani was never flushed nor has the filter been changed. IF it's the converter, what are the chances an oil change would help?
It almost sounds like this issue BUT this post was never really resolved.

She's been driving the same road where this occurs for years. this is new. I was hoping it wasn't a bad Locking Convertor. She called today. She got a Code 1870. apressure issue causing the Slippage, so that's good. The trani doesn't have to be dropped. A new Valve body will most likely fix it.
