Around 40 MPH in 2nd gear and around 60 MPH in 3rd gear, the truck seams to be starving for gas by studering. the truck sat for about a year. when i got the truck, i changed the fuel filter, added fuel conditioner and added 91 octane gas. i do not have first gear and no overdrive. when in drive the truck does not cycle through the gears. just mopes what i guess is in 3rd gear. Is this just a tranny problem? torque converter? any ides. thank you.

    Without driving and scanning the vehicle it is hard to say what the issue is. Unfortunately, with your description it does sound like a transmission issue. Whether or not that means extensive repair/cost we would not know until a diagnostic is ran by a technician. We do provide that service if you are interested in pin pointing exactly the issue. Please let me know if I can set you an appointment.
