Transmission Problems
I have a 2004 F250 extended cab and recently the transmission seems like it doesnt want to shift from 2nd to 3rd the rpms will go up to about 4000 then i have let out of it and it will finally shift. I checked the fluid and that was good I have about 59k miles on it. At first I thought it might be the tune I was running in it but I took that out and it still does it. I was running the Ultra Comp tune. Sometimes when It did finally shift the truck would buck when it went into gear. Any suggestions from anyone and is this something that would be covered under warranty if it was the transmission.

I am no mechanic, but it sounds like the clutches are slipping. I had similar problems with mine not going into gear and shifting extremely soft. the clutches and steels were burnt. A friend has a dodge that is currentyly going the same as yours, goes to 2 but does not want to shift untill almost redlined and you let off. hope this helps any.
By the way, the trany was not covered under warranty after 36,000, unless you got an extended warranty. My custom trans set me back $4,900!

05dirty: the trany was a custom setup by a local shop. I know of several other people who took thier trucks there with great results, and talking to them, the guy knew his stuff. I also looked at ats and suncoast, however decided against them. not knocking thier product, as i know of a lot of people who use them.
LvTitan: Had i had matts tunes that is the first place i would have gone, but the truck is stock tuned for now. I knew it was mechanical because when the pan was dropped, it was coated with shavings/material (an excessive amount). when it was torn down, the shop said the clutches were burnt, and while it was still drivable, it was on its last leg.
