So around 30 to 40 deg ill start my truck and let it run for a few and then put in drive and head down the road but it doesn't want to shift into second right away. Is that by design to protect it self??
Won't shift out of 1st when cold!!

Mine did this for a while, but usually only when parked at in incline/decline. I believe it's just the choke being stuck on till you hit around +/- 20 mph (at least for me) After I put an exhaust on my truck it stopped doing it.

Interesting... Mine does have an after market exhaust now but maybe I need to give more time. I'm getting a remote starter in the next two weeks so I think that will solve my prob. Thank you for the reply!

At what RPM is it going into second? I know when our trucks are cold they will hand higher RPMs till the engine reaches temp so could be that.

Not till about 3000 or not at all till it warms up just a bit more.

Yeah - my 2010 Ram hung in first a while longer when it was cold. It's normal.

Sounds like it just needs to be warmed up... I don't like moving either when I'm cold.
