[MCharlebois]

the title says it all, while driving back from maine yesterday towing a 5k camper ,doing 70 on the interstate truck decides to downshift ... . first to drive for a split second,then 2truck slowed in a hurry... then all back to normal... . truck seems to be ok ... sounds MEAN at that rpm... ..... i had to slam on the brakes about 100 miles earlier because this lady thought a log truck was coming into her lane,we were in the fast lane of course... after that i had a hard fuel pedal and i had to shift it like a standard. take off in 1 ,pop it in neutral... back to drive and it would shift to the next gear most of the time... ... jumped in it last night to bring my trailer to a job and no problems?? and oh yeah... . no codes

truck has 192k now... . what the hell happened????

The only thing that would make the fuel pedal harder is the throttle pressure cable that attaches to the trans. Maybe something happened to the valvebody?

I would pull the valve body and look for metal dust in it and in the pan. Mine did some weird stuff a couple of weeks ago and had to replace the solenoid.

Where did you go to in Maine? We just got back from the Bangor area. Can't help with the transmission, I do like my 5 speed though:-laf
