Default 12 Ram Big Horn Trans question

Hey All,
I currently own a 2012 Ram Big Horn addition my first Ram. Great truck by the way!!
I do have a question about the tansmission.
When I come to a complete stop I can feel what seems like the transmission shifting back down to 1st gear. I am not sure this normal for a Ram to do this any suggestions on what is going on?

It is happening when your fuel tank is around 3/4 full, isn't it? That's fuel sloshing around the tank. Feels like a jolt or transmission shifting or unlocking but it is fuel-related. Weird, I know. But next time it happens look at your fuel gauge. It will be in the 3/4 full ballpark. This seems to be more prevalent with the 32 gallon tank, but it has been reported with the 26 gallon tank too.
