shifting hard into 2nd and 4th
i have a buddy of mine with a 2001 dually,psd 4x4 and it shifts hard into 2nd and 4th. he is wondering of somethings wrong.
also when he is riding in town at 35mph he stated that it shifts all the way into 5th gear. is this normal?

there are many possibilities as to why a transmission will shift "hard" between gears. Starting with the simplist, the fluid might just need to be flushed and changed. A valve in the accumulator valve body could be sticking either from dirt, scoring, or even broken or tangled up springs behind that valve.
I believe it is normal for the transmission to run in OD all the way down to 35mph, as long as when you give it a good bit of go, it downshifts normally.
by the way, when i say OD i mean fourth gear. 2001's only have 4 speed autos, the torqueshift wasn't available yet.

Does it do this when its cold, because you don't get TC lockup in fourth until the tranny gets to about 140* or so. It will certainly feel hard when it does this, more so at light throttle.
