Engine, Transmission.. HELP
Drove my truck from Tucson-Phoenix and back a week ago. That's the longest drive I have taken since lifting it. I noticed on my way there and back I would be doing about 80mph and the truck wanted to downshift. Ever since I have been back home it's been running crappy, climbing a tiny hill the truck is running a higher rpm, downshifts are more frequent and even normal shifts sometimes seem sloppy. Anyone encounter this or have an idea, I need help.. Thanks

Re: Engine, Transmission.. HELP
Try an ECU reset, can't hurt anything. Check your tranny fluid.
How many miles on your rig?

Do you think the lift has something to do with it?

Re: Engine, Transmission.. HELP
How and where do you check the screen, I have had the lift for 1 1/2 years. I did remember I have driven just as far one other time about a year ago and there was no problems

Re: Engine, Transmission.. HELP
Don't know the terrain or your tire size but with larger tires and hilly terrain your trany will have a hard time holding 5th or keeping the TQ convertor locked. You say the engineis running crappy, maybe some watered down gas.
resetting ECU might help.

Re: Engine, Transmission.. HELP
ECU reset done, little or no improvement, been running 35" mud terrains for 1 1/2 and now all of the sudden, this is happening. I'm on my second tank of gas, so I don't know if that's it. Anything else,also why would torque converter just start acting up, is that normal

Try cleaning your MAF sensor. Might help.

Re: Engine, Transmission.. HELP
Get it to a dealer before your powertrain warranty expires at 60K

Re: Engine, Transmission.. HELP
I wouldn't suggest trying. As 37L1 stated, handle it with care.
There are (I believe) some spray cleaners out there for them, but I don't think I'd risk it.

Re: Engine, Transmission.. HELP
staring from the front of the truck it is in the throttle body, right. does it open or something. I'm looking at it and it is closed or does it not move.

Re: Engine, Transmission.. HELP
It's not in the TB. It's closer to the air box.
