By lock up are you referring to torque converter? That was athought as well because it will shutter through the drivetrain if you dont lift offf gas or mash on it to get harder acceleration
Thanks for the input ..As always any help Is always welcome.

Thats what the boards are all about 
Sounds like there is a communication problem with the lock up controls somewhere. Id check VSS feeds and the grounds. In fact I usually start by simply adding some ground wires to the components Im having issues with as it never hurts and a lot of times fixes the issue. Anyways at least your narrowing it down now.

Theres three. One on each front wheel and one on the trans. The front ones corrode and it messes up the resistance values which may be playing a role here. Id also get a good look at the wiring involved with the tow/haul button and all supporting aspects ( hence why I suggested VSS feeds ) Im pretty sure the speedo only runs off trans VSS but the lock up might reference the wheel vss as well. Not 100% on that one, your going to have to dig up some schems and sort through it. But id definitely start by adding some grounds and a good visual on the tow/haul wiring and the tune itself may be messed up. These little gremlins can spiral into a lot of effort, quick. I really wish I didnt know that first hand either. Anyways best of it

When i put tow mode on its a lot less noticeable.. I barely notice any fluctuation like in the video ... Ive since turned off DOD and it doesnt do it with the DOD off. I have my new ECM and have a time set at dealer for monday mornin to flash/reflash it. Will see from there.
By lock up are you referring to torque converter? That was athought as well because it will shutter through the drivetrain if you dont lift offf gas or mash on it to get harder acceleration
