 Subject: not the typical transmission issue

Message:
ok, I am confused with my truck now. It is a 03 5.9 4x4 quad cab, I have a 52mm TB, headers, and a ported stock manifold, 4.11 gears and a superchips tuner. THe truck was great before. great power and a blast to drive. then the trans started acting up. so I rebuilt motor and had the trans done at a good local shop. (@149k miles) I have been fighting an issue since I put the motor and transmission back it. The motor makes great power as planned, but the trans seems to be locking up faster than I want. it never seems to shift into 1st other than a full stop with a 3 second pause before moving again. If I am rolling it is in 2nd. the truck now feels sluggish from 5-45. at highway speed it is fine, it down shifts fine.
the truck quick upshifts, 1-2-3 by 35 mph, then if at WOT it will only down shift into 2 and the motor seems to bog until the MPH & RPMs comes up. before the rebuild I had a transgo shift kit, I forgot to tell the shop to leave the valve body alone. it has been several months now and they do not remember if they put the new valve plate in it or let the drilled plate in it.
it the line presure to high, causing it to shift to quick? It also has an odd 1-2 shift, it shifts very hard at small throttle input, but at 1/2 to WOT it shifts fine.
When I put it together and put the scanner on it the scanner it showed the trans searching for a gear when it was in park, it would go p-r-1-2-3 then back to park in a cycle on the scanner, while it was sitting in the gargage at an idle.
So I am confused. kevin
