[QUOTE="hogslayer, post: 264696, member: 1263"] I'm not real familiar with that particular transmission but it does sound like you have a definite transmission issue. When you pull a heavier trailer such as a camper you can easily cook the transmission fluid if you pull in overdrive (forget to turn on tow/haul button) or if the vehicle doesn't have a large enough transmission cooler (or no cooler at all) which will cause the fluid to break down and wreak havoc on the transmission. A long delayed shift like that is usually indicative of worn clutch packs that are starting to fail. There is a possibility that it could be a bad shift solenoid that is not supplying proper line pressure to the circuit causing the slippage. Usually when the electronic components fail such as solenoids it will throw a check engine code (again not sure about this year/make/model). I agree to take it to a reputable transmission shop but there is a good chance you have a clutch pack on the way out. Continuing to tow with it like this will most likely continue to make the problem worse. [/QUOTE]
