    OK i just did quick search and found this so let me answer a few things then will search on topic further

    OK my lights didnt flicker and I turned it off a couple times to see if that helped on way to my next destination. When it shifted hard my lights didnt flicker at all. As for the tranny fluid and such I am going to give it two weeks (per my mechanic) see if it repeats same trouble so can find out a solution. Also in that time I will be getting fluid changed and filter which had fluid change about a yr ago and less than 30k miles.
    Just an FYI - Your lights dont have to flicker for it to be the mode switch. Mine did not flicker when I had the severe shifts. Only once do I remember when I started up the truck in the morning and shifted from park to drive did I notice the display lights were not in sync with my movement.

    I've never looked into it but, we can service the tranny? Its not a lifetime transmission?
    And on that topic... What do I do being that I have no clue if mine has ever been serviced and I just rolled over 73,000 miles. Am I safe to do a full service and swap in synthetic?
    Ty I am pretty excited as well. Will be more excited when I put it on. As for tranny yes it is servicable. many people on here do it often. I will let them chime in with specifics tho.

    The hard-shift thing can be a once-in-a-blue-moon issue. It's happened to me twice, and both times went away after restarting the car. Don't sweat it if they can't replicate the problem.

    Check your Trans fluid. Mine was doing exactly that until I did a full tranny filter and fluid change. It has not happened since.

    Regarding the coolant leak, I think I have the same leak. Its probably that plug Tone mentioned in a post a long while back. Keep us posted on how that works out.
