Just got mine a week ago have 500ml on it . From the start it shifted hard into 2nd if you get on it a little bit at around 3000 3200 rpm . And i just feal a general lack in power . Under certain situations if you hit the gas it winds out and takes a few seconds to level off kick down and start picking up speed ? Anyone have or heard of similare problems or is it just charicktristick of the truck ?

T
shift

My SLT shifts real smooth while driving normal. If I step on it off the line, it has crisp, hard shifts. There are dead spots where the tranny is struggling to downshift while accelerating (going up hills, etc) but other than that, no complaints.
