Consumer Description

TRANSMISSION SURGES WHEN GAS PEDAL IS PUSHED HARD AS IN TRYING TO ENGAGE KICKDOWN OR "PASSING GEAR". SPEED IS NOT A FACTOR, IT HAPPENS AT LOW SPEED AND HIGHER SPEEDS. DEPENDING ON SPEED, TRUCK JERKS SUDDENLY AND ALMOST STALLS OUT. SOMETIMES REAR TIRES CHIRP.SEEMS SIMILAR TO THE 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS LATER YEARS HAVE EXPERIENCED.
