i thought it was the times, but now i cant tell...

its a 98 silverado, 5.7 4l60e

i thought it shifted from first to second, and then slipped in second on its way to third

but i looked at a few videos on youtube of other 98 silverados and i see that first gear goes to about 45 or so and then second goes to like 70?

Your truck has gone into default, which is a whole other can of worms.

You'd better get this thing to a mechanic before you loose an engine also.
