Transmission shifting

I have a 2000 F-250 project truck I bought this year. I have upgraded to 205/30 injectors, stage 2 turbo and have gotten custom tunes from 1023 diesel and JeliBuilt.

My transmission before and after custom tuning upgrades will not shift into 3rd I believe. I never really feel the shift to 3rd at all. It will always stays at high rpms (b/w 2,500 & 3,000), just making the truck so loud all the time. It goes from 0 and stays at the high rpm’s without having the shifting point of making the rpm go down. I don’t know what has been done on transmission by previous owners.

Does anyone have ideas? I live in Atlanta if anybody know any shop that could possibly fix this issue

I would probably start by pulling codes.

The favorite around here is FORScan (cheap app) paired with a BAFX or OBDLink OBD tool. Directions for FORScan can be found in the tech folder sticky at the top of our forum.

I put a diagnostic scanner on there but no codes popped up. What would probably be my best bet now?

What scanner did you use to pull the codes?

Is the OD light blinking in the shifter?

Does it shift into overdrive eventually or not? It also could be the torque converter is not locking in 3rd gear which will result in high rpms.
