Consumer Description

AT SPEED ABOVE 50MPH, TRANSMISSION/ENGINE SURGES UP APPROXIMATELY 150 RPM. THIS GENERALLY OCCURS WHEN LOAD IS PLACED ON ENGINE, AS IN GOING UP A LONG SHALLOW GRADE. DEALER SAYS IT IS JUST THE WAY THE TRUCK DRIVES, BUT IT IS BEYOND THAT. THE TRANNY IS A FOUR SPEED AUTOMATIC, AND LIMITING IT TO 3RD GEAR DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. HELP.
