Consumer Description

THE TRANSMISION HAS A HARSH SHIFT ALMOST AS IF THE ENGINE MIS-FIRES AS IT CHANGES FROM GEAR TO GEAR. CRONIC HAS RESET THE ELECTRONIC MEMORY VALVES WITH NO RESULTS. I AM NOW BEING SMOOTHED OVER BY THEM BECAUSE I DON'T BELIEVE THEY KNOW OF ANYTHING ELSE TO DO. I TRUST THAT A GMC TRUCK, NUMBER ONE IN MY BOOK, THIS EXPENSIVE WOULD PERFORM MORE SMOOTHLY THAN THE COMPETITOR'S TRUCK (FORD,WHICH OUTSHIFTS GMC HANDS DOWN) WOULD. YOUR RESPONSE AS TO WHAT IT IS WILL BE APPRECIATED!! LET ME HERE FROM YOU MIKE BROCK
