1999 Tahoe (5.7L V8) 4WD is having difficulty shifting out of 2nd gear. Will finally shift at a constant rpm (2000) or at 3500 RPM or if I take my foot off the gas and then tap the gas pedal again it will shift into 3rd
Also, on the highway, it will not shift into 4th gear. If you take your foot off the gas it will go into 4th gear but as soon as you tap the gas the transmission downshifts into 3rd and will stay there until you take your foot off the gas
It started this Wednesday. It is the g/f truck, and she said that she went over a small hill in the road, kind of took it too fast and right after that it shifted into second and started the problem of not shifting from 2-3 until about 3500 rpm.
Could this be an electrical problem? Maybe a ground wire or something came loose? Where would i look?
To me it doesn't seem like a transmission problem, but an electrical problem.
Any ideas?

I had something like that happen to my 98 tahoe, My engine warning light came on; I had it checked and it was the 3-2 downshift solenoid. I replaced it, then it was fine.
