My truck seems to shutter or bogg down when in overdrive and climbing an incline no matter the size (large or small). It's like going up a hill in 5th gear and needing to downshift. The trans. shifts fine ,its like the overdrive isn't kicking out. If I turn off the overdrive or accellerate hard it goes away.
