Help!

I have a 99 ranger 3.0 5sp auto trans. Whenever I floor it, the truck hesitates between 55 and 60. First I thought the engine was hesitating, but, now I don't think it is the engine. I dont have a muffler so it's kinda loud, and the exhaust dont sound like it is missing. It feels more like the transmission is trying to shift but changes it's mind. I replaced the tranny filter today and it didn't seem as bad, but it's still there. I do think it could idle smoother. maybe the dpfe? Any info is appreciated.

MAC air induction
electric fan
JBA headers due in Friday
programmer and all new exhaust planned

Any CEL? Have you tried pulling the codes? you may have codes with or without a cel. I am not sure if you are saying it is not down shifting right or not. Try it with the overdrive turned off..then try it in 3rd gear.

it has been a while since i have had the codes pulled. ill try it with the OD off, good idea. but it doesnt do it at highway speeds when i punch it. just when i punch it from a stop or really slow.
