The first thing to do is to check the transmission fluid level. Check it warmed up, engine idling in park.

Get a 0-350 PSI gauge with a 1/8" NPT thread. Install it in the test port on the driver's side of the trans. Check the pressure with the engine at idle in PRND21. Also check it in RD21 at stall. Stall is in gear, left foot HARD on the brake, and the right foot holding the go pedal on the floor. CAUTION: DO NOT HOLD STALL FOR MORE THAN 5 (FIVE) SECONDS AT A TIME! Idle or fast idle in neutral for at least 30 seconds between stall tests.

It doesn’t really stall it feels like it goes into neutral and then back into drive at like 2500 rpm but sometimes it’s a random year not always first

If the brake lights are not working right it will affect the lockup torque converter.

Stall in a transmission is when the truck is stopped, you have your left foot holding the brake pedal as hard as you can. the trans in 1 or 2, and you press the accelerator to the floor. Stall speed is the engine speed when you do this.

CAUTION: DO NOT HOLD STALL FOR MORE THAN 5 (FIVE) SECONDS AT A TIME. IDLE OR FAST IDLE IN NEUTRAL OR PARK FOR AT LEAST 30 SECONDS AFTER EACH STALL TEST.
