Hey y'all I recently picked up a 2011 Laramie (auto) with 94k miles and I just noticed a slight "jump" between gears. It doesn't cause the truck to lurch forward or sound like the transmission is hunting gears, but just feels like it takes an extra little 1/4 second to catch and then keep on trucking like normal.

Is this just the nature of the beast or is this the start of what could become a bigger issue? I was planning on doing a fully transmission service at 100k, but I'm just wondering if should look into it sooner.

This is my first diesel so I guess I slightly more obsessive when it comes to taking care of my truck. :roflsquared:

Probably just the torque converter unlocking to shift. Completely normal.
