My truck seems to me, slow to downshift. Always has.... (had it since about Dec of '05) When I'm cruising the freeway it takes quite a bit of throttle imput to get it to kick out of OD (or whatever gear it may be in if OD is off) Then in normal intown driving... It seems it takes too long for it to downshift to "passing" gear. This was before AND after my trans-go shift kit was installed. If you view my exhaust video (3rd one, inside the cab driving) at the end of it I floor it and you hear the truck want to go then finnaly a downshift (then i had to slam the brakes cause that vehicle pulled out in front of me LOL) Anyway- Is this your experience too or is something wrong here?
My exhaust video topic....
Thanks!!

Okay- I'll try to make it easier. Here is the video:

If you have a 4.7 with the 45RFE please watch the video near the end, when I floor it. You will hear it rev up, then finnaly downshift. Is this delay normal in your truck? Or is mine not normal (so probably has a problem...)
Thanks kindly.
