Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Change shift points

[jnelson]

Im really getting tired of having to shift down into 2nd gear while rolling through towns - towing my gooseneck - around 25-35 mph.

Ive been doing this for a couple hundred thousand miles. Truck acts to herky jerky ( is that a term?) when towing weight at 30 mph and 1400 rpm.

Is there any way to change the shift points from 2nd gear to 3rd gear to around 40 mph ( to get the rpm up) ?



Just wonderin

I see you have BD valve body,maybe give them a call. I do knwo that the 2-3 down shift takes a bit of a pronounced push of the throttle to get,which is pretty normal with raised line pressures.
