1st signs of auto transmission failure?
I have a 2002 double cab, supercharged w/ URD fuel upgrade, additional tranny cooler, Procomp lift with 33s. What are the first signs that something might be wrong with my tranny? It seems as in 2nd gear, the truck doesn't want to go when I accelerate to try and pass at low speeds.

The first sign is that it's an auto... :pat:
Seriously, there can be hundreds of signs, it usually starts out by doing something a little bit differently than it did for the last 2,000,000 times.

Slippage...The first thinig I'd do is get it flushed ASAP..Then, I'd go get a valve body upgrade! You have a lot of power running through that stock tranny. IIRC, Gadget blew his REALLY quickly.

slipping is bad -clunking sounds are also bad - you might also notice a drop in MPG
my brother killed our 1990 Buick Century wagon by driving it for a long time with zero transmission fluid - idiot
that was such a great car....engine still starts it just cant go anywhere
