Hello all!
Id like to say hello, since this is my very first post.
I have been trolling around for a while now.
I love all the information you all have.
So here is my question.
I recently purchased a stock 1985 F-250 4x4 5.0 Fuel Injected
the truck seems to shift kinda hard when you are not really in the gas.
is this normal of this year truck as a friend of mine suggested?
also is there a way to know at what MPH or RPM's the truck should shift at?
Thanks in advanced

What transmission does it have? Do you have a "K" in the tranny code on the door jamb? And shifting hard can be a good thing. Smooth shifts mean slipping clutches, which are the way most all stock auto trannies are programmed from the factory, but it does shorten their life.

No It appears to have a "T" Code for tranny.

T is the code for an AOD transmission. I had one in my truck until recently but I swapped it for a C6.
The tighter the TV adjustment is, the harder they will shift, but it may also have had a shift kit installed.
Mine didn't shift particularly hard from 1-2-3, but it did clunk into OD a bit - I think they all do - when OD engages, it doesn't drive through the torque converter.
In a newly bought truck with an AOD, I would take it & have the TV set properly with pressure gauges etc. - mine didn't give me a lot of trouble, but many do when in a truck & the TV adjustment is a big part of that.
