Step one check your fuses and ground wires Your transmission not shifting at the right marks I would search up your trucks shift points and watch it to be sure if they are off any of like five sensors probably might have been damaged

I did check all my fuses inside and out, and they were all good. Not exactly sure what you mean by shift points? I was told that maybe due to the speedometer and tachometer not working that the transmission didn't know when to shift? Is that possible? Thanks in advance!

Okay now I checked all my grounds and they were good just realized that my odometer is not working but my cruise control still works? I watched a video on YouTube suggesting it might be my ignition? Could that be possible?
