3 to 4 shifting wrong

New to site I have a 1996 f250 4x4 with auto and 7.3. Transmission was rebuilt about 15000 miles ago. Transmission has been acting up going up even a smaller hill it will not shift down to drive until it crestes over the hill. I'm guessing a solenoid is going out but hate to throw parts. Anyone experience this before thanks

Welcome to FTE!
Not real sure on what you are asking

Are you saying it won't down shift or it won't shift to its final gear till you crests a hill ?

I think he means that the truck will hold onto OD until he actually gets to the top of a hill and then it will downshift. Mine did the same thing when my pump was not providing enough pressure.

And that's is most like your issue.
Get the abs fixed first and your issue will probably be gone
