Ok guys help me out. When I am driving to work I get to this light and have to turn right. as I turn I hit the gas to get over this small
Hill, well once I hit the gas (accelerate) it seems like the transmission down shifts to first gear and my rpm goes to like 5 or six then I'll let off a lil bit and it will catch and be all good. This only happens when i hit the gas real hard... I don't know if any one has has this same problem. Is it the egr or my tranny?? I have a 05 laredo with the v8

When you "floor it ",it will do that.It knows you want to go,so its giving its all. Now if it does it at part throttle,you could have a problem.
If you dont let up,it does shift, right?
My hemi used to do that, it would pause then drop into 1 st. Now i have a predator with a FlyinRyan trans tune. It drops 1 gear, unless you really hit it( the way it should) . Have you held it down till it shifts? It should hit 2 nd pretty good right at " redline" when your on it. If/when you let off it will pause a sec ( kinda like its sayn " wha?") To be sure you want it. Thats how mine was stock anyway.
sounds normal. if you have autostick you could force it into 1st when you are at the slowest part of the turn which would stop the whiplash effect than just up shift to D and let it do its own shifting the rest of the way
