low speed, eratic downshifts. Anyone else?

when im going slow (25 mph or so) and i floor it, sometimes it will downshift and I get launched, and other times, it will just slowly get going. All the time, from a stop it is a little slow to pick up speed. I would never try to dart across a busy intersection like i would in our car. So does this sound like a problem or is it just the crazy 47re trans? Also, when i was going up a small incline to get onto the freeway, it just didnt want to accelerate. Its got plenty of power, I want it to push me back into the seat. I hope somethings wrong so i can get it fixed, then i will love my truck even more

You can either check the throttle position sensor yourself or have it checked, but it is usually the cause of the problem you have.

I will definatly get that checked out. Should say I will check it if I can find it. Ive looked, but have not been able to locate the sucker. Its probably one of those deals where im glad its not a poisenous snake cause it would bite me. Anywho, thanks for the tip - ill look at it.
