Hi,

I may have a problem, but I wanted to post here first.

Last night I had to go across three lanes of traffic to get into a high way from a stop sign. I had to accelerate quickly to get out of the way of on coming cars (busy time of night). Anyway, I basically went from 0 to 35 (ran fine). After a short distance I came to a red light. When I left the red light, it felt like the truck did not want to go. Almost like it did not want to get into first gear. I came to a second redlight - same. I pulled off of the road and into a large parking lot. I tried to manually shift up from first to second, etc. Did not help. Once again, it felt like it did not want to engage. So from there I tried the opposite - gear down - when I went from 2nd to 1st (guessing at a speed of around 10-15 mph), it pulled back like I would expect - but it seemed to solve my issue. It ran fine for the rest of the night. I checked the transmission fluid this morning and it looked fine.

FYI: 2001 SuperCrew 5.4, 18,000 miles. I feel like I baby the truck. I do not tow and rarely ever get on the gas the way I did last night, but I have before and everything has been fine.

I will be taking it to a dealership this next week for regular service. I wanted to first see if anyone had any advice on what I should check in the mean time?

Thanks,
Mike
