AT FREEWAY SPEEDS MY TRUCK SEEMS TO POP IN AND OUT OF PASSING GEAR. THE TAC MOMENTAIRLY JUMPS 200 TO 400 RPM. BECAUSE IT IS OF SUCH A SHORT DURATION AND SUCH A SLIGHT RISE IN RPM,I CANNOT TELL IF THE TRUCK JERKS. HOWEVER THIS STARTED AS SOMETHING I NOTICED HAPPENING FREQUENTLY ON LONG TRIPS. NOW IT IS A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM. THE DEALER AS WELL AS A TRANSMISSION SHOP SAID THE ON BOARD COMPUTER SHOWS NOTHING. THEY DID REPLACE THE EGR VALVE ?? I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF ANYONE ELSE WHO HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM WOULD POST IT ON THIS SITE.*AK
