So when the truck is cold, sometimes the motor will stumble and/or stall. It seems to be idling fine and has lots of power. I think it may be related to the trans as it takes a few seconds after being in neutral for the trans to move the truck. It used to be worse. I would get a shudder and take a long time to get into gear before. I changed the fluid/filter and it seemed to get better - but the old fluid and filter were clean. The it was good for a while, but started slipping again. This time the fluid was low. Like 3 quarts. The truck only has 80,000 miles on it, and I see no leaks and notice no smoke as if it was getting sucked into the motor or something weird.
I added fluid and it got better, but still is slow to get into gear and stalls. But is still better than when the problem first appeared. I am scratching my head on this.
I forgot to add - the stalling is when I come to a stop. Not when I start the car or when it's idling or driving.

Not so much cracking, although that has happened, the backpressure has been shown to actually split the main filter, (there are 2 in the pan),the filters tend to come loose where they are pushed up into the pump. A 125 filter seal will help hold the filter much better than a stock OE seal. If the filter is sucking air, it cannot push the converter clutch off the lid and will drag/stall the engine.

Same if its low on fluid as I saw that happen a few times where it stalls the eng since it can keep the clutch converter clutch from applying some on the 45 and 545RFE's. Ron

What is a 125 filter seal? Is this a GM seal? I read in another thread about some GM filter or seal or something like that, but I can't find the thread. Is this the seal?: http://www.makcotransmissionparts.com/64379.htmlWhat filters/seal do you guys recommend? Again, thanks for the answers and sorry for the late reply.
