    I’d say toss an OV Tune on it and see what happens, if it’s cruise related the tranny is a-ok IMO and there are software/shift issues galore with our trucks

    I think its an honest question to ask. To me if it shifts normal at lower speeds there's a good chance this isn't a mechanical issue. This is with cruise on or off? My truck would do similar (not as extreme) at stock height with stock tires. Mine was mostly fixed with the new updated tune.

    I think an OV Tune is the next step to try.

    shifts perfect around town and anytime im not on the highway, the problem occurs consistently on the highway anywhere between 70mph - 85mph more so with cruise on but will also do it with cruise off

    Anyway to be running 5300 rpms, stock gears, 33s, your pushing 90mph. Looks like your at elevation on an incline. 3rd gear doesn't sound unreasonable to me based on my experience with the third gens.

    These trucks Have the aero of a brick shit house. 5th is barley useful to me at 75+mph. So at 80 if you're not in 4th you're basically losing speed.

    Put in S mode instead of D and select S5 or S6. I bet it will shift up

    At 5300 rpms with 33s you are either going:

    • 37mph in 1st
    • 64mph in 2nd
    • 90mph in 3rd
    • 133mph in 4th
    Simple math. Might want to double check your speedo calibration.
