I never do floor it, it does it when acceleration is anything above a pretty slow start. I noticed it one day and began testing it more by going faster each time until it would not shift into 2nd and the rev limiter kicked in.

If there is a problem in there i would like it fixed before it creates a bigger problem

Do the governor sensor/solenoid set then. Get the heavy duty feller from ebay. (electricaladvantage is the seller) Should solve the issue.

thanks, im gonna just do it myself... when i picked up the truck before, the guy at the shop said he thought the seals were wearing out because of age and thats why it was having the issue.

I just took the truck home and im gonna do the solenoids. I would think if the seals were going bad, the trans wouldnt shift perfect (up or down) in all the other gears. correct?

Correct.

If you have a torque wrench that will do 72 inch/pounds accurately, wouldn't hurt to adjust the bands while you are there as well.
