Transmission help
Ok I have my 2000 powerstroke and it has a far amount of miles on it but the transmission isn't shifting right it shifts in to four gears but it dosent shift out of first until it hits like 22or23 mph and like 2500 rpm and i have to let way off the gas. what could be causing this do I need a new transmission or is it something else

Is it chipped or has the PCM been programmed? Shift points are done in the tuning. Yours sounds about right for medium throttle, depending on your gearing. Exhaust Back Pressure sensor could be loaded up, making the PCM think the truck is under a higher load than it really is.

You need to get the codes read. A code will stay in memory for about a month after the last time the light flashed. Don't go to an auto parts store, they don't have the right tools to read these codes.
What year and month was the truck built? There is a data tag in the driver's door opening that has the VIN, the build date, and a bunch of info about the truck.

looks like diesel-fitter-bum01 is about 100 miles north of you . go up to post# 2 in tuglys sig. click on the "best map" and you'll see what i mean. send him a pm and maybe you guys can get togather.
i'm sure you done this but, when i bought my truck it was doing the same thing with the od light coming and going. turn out the original owner never done any maintience on the truck and it ended up being about 5 quarts low on tranny fluid . check your fluid if you have not done so.
