Consumer Description

AUTOMATIC FAILS TO SHIFT INTO LOWER GEARS FOR ENGINE BRAKING. WHEN DECENDING A STEEP GRADE THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILS TO APPLY. THIS HAS THE SAME EFFECT OF PUTTING THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL WHEN GOING DOWN HILL. WHEN DRIVING IN THE MOUNTAINS THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN THAT IT REQUIRES THE BRAKES TO DO THE WORK OF SLOWING THE TRUCK. IF THE BRAKES OVERHEAT THEN THE TRUCK WILL "RUN AWAY". *AK
