Dumb question Aaron, did you reset the computer on your truck for the
AirRaid?

I noticed a great difference between the stock and the AirRaid air intake.

Subject: DML: R/T Tranny Help

My truck is at the dealership being "fixed." I talked to the servie tech
today and after replacing the throttle position sensor and transmission
valve bodies, they cannot seem to correct the problem. The problem is that
when I lightly accelerate in 3rd or 4th, the rpms jump way up and then drop
repeatedly until the truck hits a higher speed. It causes a slightly jerky
ride as well as terrible gas mileage on the highway (12mpg). The service
tech tried to tell me that the airraid intake was the cause of the problem
because the engine shifts based on air intake temp. I told him he was out
of his mind and to keep working on the truck. Any of you guys know where I
should tell the techs to look next?

Thanks

Aaron W
