T79 brake transmission shift interlock. My understanding is that a fix for this locking pin has not been created. So this will cause it to possibly shift out of park with out warning. So the part has not broken yet with 91k plus on it. Which is not good for sure because it could break at any given time and i pull a lot of trailers. Also trying to sell my truck have lost several sells due to it. Plus even tried to…

When driving on the road and you let off the gas pedal, then you need to accelerate to get out of the way of someone or to avoid a near accident, you press the gas pedal all the way down and there is a couple second delay to a few seconds, a lag, before the truck appears to receive the command to hurry up and go. It has caused me to almost be rear ended and be in an accident with my wife and daughter in my truck.

When i accelerate there is a lag. This is from a stop or while applying the accelerator, and pushing it more to pass or merge. Also this lag at any speed seems to make the truck lunge, and it feels like it may be shifting wrong.
