I have 2008 Ram Bighorn and over the weekend When it shifts into OD it feels like it is lugging or shuddering. Anybody know what might be the problem?

What is the difference between TOWING mode and OD off. When I push the button one time on the end of my shifter it shows TOWING and when I push it again it shows OD off. In TOWING mode the RPMs are about the same as regular and the (vibration or slight shuddering stops). And when I push the button the second time it cuts the OD off and the RPMs go up and the issue also stops. Is it the lock up converter causing the problem?

Towing mode or OD off turns off your MDS so it drives on all 8 cylinders all the time. You might have a MDS problem and not a trans problem?
I had an 08 Ram for a few years and I didn't think the MDS did much for mileage in my commute. 11 miles one way half city half highway. I drove it a week in Tow/Haul mode so it would not have MDS and my mileage didn't suffer.

Guessing there are no codes since you did not mention it...
Checked the fluid lately?
Ultimately might need to take it somewhere or find someone with a scan tool to take it for a ride.
Intake has to come off to get to the MDS. Those solenoids can get stuck. AMHIK.
