I might as well throw in my two cents worth and mention that you check out your kickdown linkage ;)
Good luck with that and keep us posted on the results in case one of us has the same issue come up.
Regards as always

there is usually a vacumme line that runs down to the tranny that aids in shifting, there may be a leak in that line, a small rubber hose that attaches the metal line to the tranny or a rubber hose that connects from somewhere around the carb/TB to the metal line going to the tranny if it is equip'd

Not on the Dodges, they use mechanical linkage or a cable.

Yep same for me. 08 4.7, with 3.98 rear. Feels like it hit rev limiter and shut down. Just bogged and shifted when I let up. Just returned back to stock from Hypertech tuning. Took in for servicing and put back to stock. With tune I had bumped up rev limit 300 RPM. Wanted to do a few stock runs with Tazzo computer to compare with when I reinstall Hypertech. Never did shift good 1-2, always had a little stall like a slow shift with a clutch. Any ideas?
