Today I took my first decent length road trip with my truck, round trip of 700 km (440miles) and i was driving 120 km/h (75mph) on cruise control. Just sitting there listening to music and what not, regular driving stuff of course haha.
when all of a sudden, revs pop up to 6000 rpm, so i hit the brakes, wtf???
The truck randomly decided to shift into FIRST gear. I didnt touch anything nor do anything differently. I just pressed my select shifter back up to 6th gear as fast as i could and keep going. I didnt touch anything, let alone the select shifter.
Not only is this reallllly bad for the tranny im assuming... but dangerous as ever. I was on the way to the mountains, who knows what could of happened if i was on an icy hill by a cliff...
Now it freaks me out every time i hear the truck downshift to go up a hill or anything like that. What could this be? anyone have this happen before?
