Occasionally, and I mean once in awhile, when I'm driving the AT has a very harsh shift from 1st to 2nd. Easing up on the gas doesn't help. However, I can turn off the engine and turn it back on and it goes away. This doesn't happen all of the time, just occasionally, i.e., once a month or so. Anyone else have experience with this problem? I have the tow package w/trans cooler and I have my tranny serviced at least once a year and fluid level is good.

This can be caused by the chronically troublesome press. control solenoid in the trans, usually will set a code p1811. You may want to have the trans scanned at a trans shop for solenoid functions and codes.

Have same trouble except mines between 2nd and 3rd

The pc solenoid is not found to be an issue in this truck.Most complaints are from extended cab shot box 4x4 trucks.There are updated computer calibrations which MAY help, how ever most of the time its considered not to be abnormal.

Look for a P1870 DTC.
