I thought the symptom with that was the transmission
starting off in second gear? Actually,I believe
that's happening too from time to time. You can floor
it,and it just eases to a start. So maybe that's two
votes for a bad GPS?
Not that I have any idea about the subject,but it
seems like people were having trouble five or six
years ago on the list here regarding their truck not
taking off in first,and that was the problem (I
think).
Thanks for the info,Bernd!
