Is it slipping or just a ford?

Its not slipping its just slow to respond. My truck does it too when I put it to the floor; I try not to do it though unless I have to pass some idiot going 40 in a 55 on a two lane- Which seems to happen to me almost every day.

I Bought my first F150 3 months ago. As my user name states I'm a converted GM owner. Over the last couple of months I have noticed when traveling about 20 to 30mph and hit the pedel to speed up with traffic the truck will idle up and then drop into gear.
I took it to a machanic and asked about this. He said since the truck has 93,000 miles on it, it may just need to have the trans serviced. I had that done and still have the same issue. The machanic said he did some checking on this and thinks it might be the way the computer calls for the tranny to shift at those speeds.
Since I am not to trusting of machanics I thought I would put this out there and see if anyone has had the same issues and/or has any ideas?
Thanks.
