But wait, you said the AirAid came with the truck, right? Has the tranny
been doing this since you got the truck?

I can not believe that any intake change could make the tranny do that. I
as well as a good majority of dak owners use aftermarket aircleaners and
don't have that problem. I am suspicious of the tps cable connected to the
throttle body on the passengers side. It could have been misadjusted or
disrupted when the airrade was installed.

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?
