Post Is This Normal?

Well, I was refreshing my computer program on my truck. You know how you disconnect the battery, and then leave the lights on for like 10 minutes or so, and then when you start it you let it run till it gets to normal temp then run the air and then reteach it by driving. Well when I started driving it my tranny seemed to be randomly downshifting and wasn't running like it used to, and I am wondering if this is normal and it will just go away after I get some more miles on it, or if it is a serious problem with the tranny that I should get looked at. I know it didn't happen before, it just started doing it for the 15 or so miles I put on it today going to school, and then to work.

I got a '99 and when the computer is reset, the tranny acts differently. Takes a couple of days to start feeling normal again.

Well, Now that I got some miles on it, around 100, it really is driving sweet. It seems to be shifting much smoother, if that makes sense and what I noticed so far is a little better mileage. I think it has finally getting used to my mods-Intake, and Exhaust) I think I should of done this right whne I got them, but I figured I could be patient. Even if you haven't done any mods I recommend you reset the computer every once in a while, cuase it smoothed things out on mine which drove great before, but now it drives greater.
