I agree with the finding that part throttle seems like it has more gusto
than full at low rpms. Strange? How might this be tranny related?
At WOT, my truck upshifts just past 5200rpm or so. Doesn't quite make it
to the yellow line. And the shift is very soft. Actually seems like a
harder shift a part throttle, but it shifts a lot earlier.
The truck has 500 miles on it.

to

the

| Really? Soft shifts? That's weird, cause i had my 2000 Dak floored last
| week and it held the gear all the way to just below redline.
| How many miles have you got on her?
