ok, usual story here - giving my manager a test ride in the Jeep, go to stomp on it and BLAAAAAHHHHHH! That's right, going about 30 mph, doesn't down shift and feels like a couple cylinders are missing. First time the truck has EVER felt that sluggish.

Well, on the way back, I was actually driving her easier, but felt better performance, response, and shifting feeding her 75% throttle or so before laying into WOT. I guess the driver has some adaptation to do as well!

this will hopefully solve it, all of us with 07's have been having the same problem with the trans not kicking down to the lower gear at around that mph.

Usually I just use the shifter at that speed as a result. First time it happened to me, I was like WTF? We all know how this truck is 95% of the time so I can't wait until the flash.
