When making a hard shift in first or second gear, there is an electrical cut out for a few seconds, and then its fine. The abs light, ebrake light flash for a few seconds, the radio cuts off and the truck stalls for a second. I checked my battery terminals and grounds all seem solid. What could it be?

in cases like this, a connection or a voltage surge could cause your issue. beyond the cables, look at all the grounds. connections at the firewall, and pcm connections
