    My 2006 4-speed automatic gets stuck in 3rd gear, sometimes, if I just made a right hand turn (such as a cloverleaf on-ramp). Usually lifting off throttle and getting back on will prompt the upshift. But I don't want to back off if I'm merging, so in those situations I just move the shifter from D to 3 and then back to D, then it upshifts. It's kind of annoying... a few times I was cruising at highway speeds in 3rd gear for a while before noticing the RPMs. Yes I know the OP has a different transmission but my experience is the same.

    Truck isn't listed in their website, hopefully they will fix it first before reselling.

    The transmission will take a week to install, according to what they told me. If they list it sooner than that I would be suspicious.

    Damn, read the whole thread hoping to find out what the problem was, but I guess it worked out good for OP either way haha.. And now I understand why his profile says he owns a 2019 :D

    Yes it is. I would inquire about the transmission in great detail before purchasing.
