When driving the m939 5ton you can definetly feel the torque converter unlock and lock when coming to a stop and speeding up. It is smoother if the engine idle is set above 500 rpms. Sometimes when coming to a stop I get a little buck as it takes a second for the converter to disengage. I can definetly see that in a panic stop the converter would not have enough time to fully unlock. I know the abs is the military patch for this and I always leave tons of distance and drive carefully so as to never be in a situation where I would have to lock the brakes. How come the military just didnt re-design the torque converter to disengage at a slightly higher rpm?
