Default 05 Ram not shifting

I have a 2005 Dodge Ram Hemi. It has Superchips Flashpaq, LT headers, andAEM bruteforce intake. When you got WOT and it goes to shift it just bangs the rev limiter until you just barley let off the gas and then it shifts. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

It sounds like the TPS ( Throttle positioning sensor ) is going bad.

not sure if the Flashpaq allows you to move the shift points or not but try knocking them down a bit, my truck was doing the same thing after the premium download from my Bully Dog so i had to reduce the shift points a bit.

Take the Flashpaq out of the equation.Return the truck to stock, then see what happens. If it shifts normally, then re-install the tune and drop the shift points a bit.
This will tell you if you have a real tranny issue or if it's the tune...

I tried doing this but I'm not sure if I'm actually taking the tune out. When I bought the truck it had the Flashpaq already installed. I guess if I select stock, then it should return it that way? It just doesn't seem like a difference to me.

Okay, I finally got the truck to take the stock program. It shifted perfect. Any suggestions on why the computer would make the truck act like that when it goes to shift?
