So i am getting a surg in my truck while its in park after i pull a trailer for a while or drive on the beach. it sounds almost as if the torqu converter is locking in and out at idle. after the truck cools it does not do this. any suggestions?

it sounds like you are dropping it in gear when its in park like you are putting a load on it. the idle seems to be smooth as far as missing is concerened. if you put it in gear while it is doing this you can feel the truck trying to move. if feels like somthing is locking in. it only does it after it has been fun hard like pulling a trailer or running on the beach.

has anyone bypassed their trans cooler that is in the radiator and just used the factory external one?

what should the values be on the icp? and why would it only do it after it has been run hard?

well this is good, my 06 will do the same thing after its run hard pulling the fiver.
it feels like an old gasser with a choke problem or bad plug wire. it will idle up a few then back to normal.
I thought it was the a/c clutch or the cooling fan. but they were not it. i can see the engine "stumble" when it does it.

is yours more effected by heat or just towing?

towing. i drove it for 8 hours at 80 mph and when i got back home it was fine. the load is what is causing it, because after i go out on the beach it will do it.
