44RE eratic shift problem

From : Annonymous

Q: i have a 99 dodge dakota 4x4 with the 3.9 v6 and 44re auto trans. w/ od. i purchased the truck with 51k miles on it. at around 55k the trans. developed an eratic shift from 2nd to 3rd. it seems to me that the shift starts too early and slips too long before going into 3rd. all other gears are fine. i thought i had read a thread a while back describing a fix for this which seems to be a common problem with this transmission. but i did a search and can not find the thread now. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks mike .

i invite you to watch the local here in the dallas/ft. worth area for just 1 night. 9 out of 10 times they show a suspect that got caught on video tape commiting a crime they are black. used to be years ago that the casters would put out a description of a suspect in a crime. example mid 20s black male 6 foot 150lbs. not anymore. either they are too worried about the so called black community playing the race card or they know that most viewers already know the suspect is black. just watch the surveillence tapes just one night on the local . there is a huge difference between a black person and a nigger. i have several black friends. its the niggers i have a problem with. if that term hurts your feelings than so be it. i refuse to use the term african american. not a damned one of them was born in africa. however if they want to keep killing each other than so be it. as i said earlier its just a form of crime prevention. amen to that! bob .
