Talking 3-4th Shift Point

New guy with diesels.

Been driving my truck about 3 weeks now and loving it.

Question on the tranny:

It shifts throught the gears real nice, but when it goes into 3rd, the rpm will go to 2500-2600 and hang there for a bit (several seconds, seems like forever) before shifting into 4th, then shifts into OD and pulls like crazy.

Is this normal? Any adjustments I can make?

I'll be installing th 3k GSK kit soon, will this help?

Thanks Guys

Yes the GSK will help a lot. I couldnt hardly get mine to shift into overdrive when i had a stock tranny with the transgo shift kit(even before the transgo), and a fuel plate. Under wide open throttle it would go to 3rd, and then just hang there, and finally hit overdrive. I tried adjusting the TPS with no help. Put the GSK in, and it shifts much better. Shifts about perfect under WOT actually. Let us know your results.
