Default 80 mph rpm??? 5.9 liter

Hey i know alot of people on this forum dont like me but anways i wanna know if any1 else has had this problem, when i floor it off a dead stop no problems up to about 80 mph, it wont shift gears and basically starts cuttin out, sounds really gay. It reds at 5k, and at about 80mph its like 5.3-4. Why wont it shift gears it never gave me this problem till about a motnh ago, transmission or could it be my stupid jet chip? Also i can get around this problem if i slightly let off the gas at about 75 then wait for it to shift gears befroe i floor it again, but its an automatic and it never used to do this, its really buggin me. Has any1 ever had this problem or know what to do about it?

In my experence that is usally caused by driver incompetence or a rare transmission condition called genataliaitus, first off, why are you trying to do upwards of 80 on a regular basis in a pickup truck? It's a PICKUP!! do the world a favor and get a honda, you definatly fit in better with the rice rocket ********. If it's not the driver incompetence, it may be what I refered to before as genataliaitus, this is a transmission condition normally caused by tacky decorative ********* hanging from the bumper and a DICK at the wheel!!!

Also, you refered to the sound it makes as being 'gay'...I am not a homosexual myself, however I have encountered a few over the course of my life, but I have yet to hear an actual homosexual start cutting in and out at high RPMS....and I dont think the rest of the guys here have either...maybe you could post an audio clip of it here on the board.

You may want to check your superchargers and special pistons, they, in combonation with other things might be causing your problem.

damn i thought this was a good place for ppl to exchange good info about their dodges, not just flame someone becuase you feel like it . i have read the old posts about the richardpetty fiasco, but damn hes young give the boy a chance to get it right before you burn him. and just cause (its a truck lift it) as you even told me once wheni was posting a reply to a guy with a lowered sweet a## truck dosnt mean it cant or wont do 80+ on a regular basis. everyone has a idea on what they want their TRUCK to do or look like. leave it up to them balz.
