Is this a new truck that has never worked right or something that just suddenly happened after you have had it for a while and it was working before?
First thing I would check after what you have already done is check the cable adjustment at the throttle body. Maybe an adjustment slipped on the TV cable. Follow the procedure though and don't try to cheat it into working. The cable adjustment is critical and if off, can lead to big and expensive problems.
It is pretty easy as I recall, just check gap clearance etc.

Take it to a REAL Transmission shop...the longer you drive it like that the worser it will become. basically, the TV cable should allow it to shift into overdrive by itself without any response from you at 45 mph, if it shifts hard and jerks while doing so in the other gears, there is still problems in the transmission itself besides the tv cable...take it to a real transmission shop (not one of those transmission fill an change places) You get what you paid for, so expect trans-shock (price for teardown won't be cheap, but at least you'll get a warrenty and a transmission that will last)
