First off, I appologize for my cruddy post, I'm typing on a blackberry.

I've noticed that my 3500 bounces from (I think) 2nd to 3rd and back to 2nd, cyclicly @40kmph. It seems our fine town is designed to have traffic cruze @ that speed and its kinda bugging the crap out of me. Is it normal or is it a sign of issues afoot? I know I can drop it into Tow/Haul mode to smarten it up but still, its irritating. Wondering if anyone has any suggestions.
