The 47RE in my '99 2500 slips a bit at first after it's been sitting for a
week or so without being driven. The torque converter slowly leaks fluid
back into the transmission while it's parked. If you start it up and let
it
run for a minute with the transmission in neutral that might help the
torque
converter fill up faster and prevent the slipping. I'm not real familiar
with the gas engines. Might it be the IAC causing the lunge and stall
thing?
