Instead of smashing the skinny pedal for a down shift let off the skinny pedal tap the brake and then get back on the skinny pedal mine will down shift every time and will hold the gear as long as I’m on the throttle. Let me know if this works in your trucks

Welcome to FTE!

When was the TV cable/linkage adjusted last? Is this a recent installation?
