a few problems.
 
my first problem is the truck is jerking to the right when i drive. it seems to jerk pretty hard when im goin from like 15 to 45 roughly. its not constant, but once every second or so it'll pull me to the ditch. i hit a curb fairly hard back when there was all kinds of ice on the road, and i believe that is a part of the problem


the tranny is ridiculous lol when its cold, man its cold. the other day i was goin through and intersection, had it matted, and it was goin ten at the fastest. it seems to be like this real bad till the tranny gets to operating temp, then it never goes into overdrive. i read that thing on the sticky with the psi gauge and all that and im thinkin it'll really help. but i figured it wouldnt hurt to ask. idk if its got anything to do with me adjustin the shift cable a few days ago or what but i dont like it and want it fixed.

my last issue is once ive been drivin for roughly twenty minutes and park it, my tranny cooler (aftermarket) will run for about thirty seconds after the engine is off. i dont think this is anything to worry about, but again, it never hurts to ask.

if anyone has been through this help me out a bit

Did you use right fluid in tranny ? If you use wrong fluid it effects shift and temps.

i have no idea. my best guess is the right fluid was used, because i bought it less that half a year ago, and the previous owner ad all the fluids in it. he knew wat he was doin, so im sayin its got the right stuff.
all i have to say is when that auto goes kaploowie im puttin a five speed in it
