Ok, so this has been an on going issue for the past 2 years that I have ignored which I know I shouldn't but I don't feel that it's something major. Basically what's happening is when I first start the truck and take off down the road the truck shifts 1-3 fine but once it tries to shift into 4th it attempts the shift but just jumps up in rpm's and then hard kicks back down to 3rd. If allow it to do this 3 times in a row it check engine comes on and goes into safety mode which locks it into 4th gear. I can bypass the issue by bringing the truck up to 45 to 50 mph with hard acceleration and let it coast into the gears without any problems. Once I've done this for the first time for the day it doesn't do it again unless I let the truck set for awhile then the process starts all over again. I drive all over the U.S for work so I really need to buckle down and get this truck fixed. I took it to a dealership and was told it was my bands but that's hard for me to believe and frankly don't trust the mechanics there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
