On point and at exactly every time, when the truck reaches the 3-4 upshift mark, the rpms jump about 400 or so rpm for a second or 2. If im going uphill, that will sometimes stay like that...

    98 1500 3.9L - 42RE or 46RE

    Howdy! My mother's 98, 1500, short-bed, 2wd has the four-speed auto. Is this the 42RE or 46RE? The internet seems vague on this. I know there's little important difference, but I'm just curious about the details. Or is there an important difference? Thanks!
