Default High rpm for 2nd to 3rd gear

I dont know if this is an issue but I figured Id check:

From 1st gear, my truck seems to shift smoothly and unnoticeable,I assume around 1700 to 2000 rpms.

From 2nd gear, my truck always needs at least 3000rpm to shift into 3rd gear. Its quite loud.

From 3rd gear, my truck seems to shift around 1700 rpms smoothly into 4th gear.

Any thoughts?

The 3000rpm shift may actually be from 1st to 2nd. Every other gear smoothly shifts under 2000rpms.

Either way please let me know of any thoughts! Thanks!

Fluid level good? Last time fluid/filter were changed? Bands adjusted?

What year is your truck?

That's where I would start then. A loose band will give you the flare between gears, or delayed shifting. Of course, it might be an electronic problem too...... trans pan with a drain plug might be a good idea for ya.
