I don't know about skipping gears, mine just plain slips between 3rd and 4th at exactly 30mph under light acceleration. Never when towing, only when unloaded. I gave up on it when the dealer couldn't find the problem. That was 40,000 miles ago.
It doesn't happen very often and hasn't gotten any worse.

I was not aware of the gear skip as normal, it dose pretty much feel as a slip when shifting between third and fouth. Dose anyone know were I can find info on this?

I looked it up in my manuals, below 5deg F it shifts 1-2-3-4-6
above 5 deg f 1-2-3-5-6.
as far as slipping I dont know, ther was a topic on here about using progrmers and how hard it is to program the tranny due to its shifting pattern and always having a shift flare.

Hey painter, mine is doing exactly the same thing. It doesnt do it all the time, and temperature doesn't seem to matter. Its just between 3-4 shift. It started doing it right before I left for Iraq (which I am currently at) and its kinda stressing me out. Mines an 05 with 20,000 miles. I haven't changed the tranny fluid yet but thats what I'm going to try as soon as I get outta here. It makes me feel better though that yours is still going strong w/ 40,000 miles like that.

I got a chill as I read that. I'm sitting in my office sipping coffee and you're in Iraq covering you're @ss, I hope. Thanks for your service.
My tranny never does it under any load at all. Don't sweat it. I am curious about the skipping gear thing. I'll have to watch my rpm's.
