Hard Shift to 2nd Gear
Hi!

I noticed the other night, I had a 4-5 hard shifts into 2nd gear until the truck heated up a little bit.... It was only 40 degrees out though... Any ideas?

From what I understand, the computer delays the shifts in cold weather in order for the engine to run at higher RPM, making the engine heat up quicker.
