Why does it always seem like I end up with a truck that has those one off issues no else has had.
So I'll try to make this as short and sweet as possible. I have a 1994 F250 7.3 IDI extended cab 4x4. So when I'm in town or in traffic anywhere from 25-45mph, my transmission acts like it can't decide which gear to stay in. I have no trans or overheat lights on except for my ABS light which sporadically flashes on and off. I can be at 1500rpms cruising, then the truck will shift and jump up in rpms for no reason. There's no hard shifts, just sporadic shifts when I'm in town. You almost can't notice it, but you can see and hear the motor fluctuating rpms and gears. Some more history on the truck, I recently bought it about a month ago. The previous owner had just done some work on it last December 18', one of the upgrades was with the gearbox, which in the invoice they mention the shift points were adjusted. Could that be the source of the sporadic shifts? Also, I almost want to think it could be an issue with the overdrive, but this is only because the overdrive knob is broken and wires not connected. Any suggestions or insight on similar issues would be great.
