My RAM tends to shift what seems to be too soon, thus, leaving me with a rough ride at most speeds under 65 mph. It hasn't always done it. I have 42K miles on it and it didn't start until around 32K. I have to use my Gear Limit buttons to control it. If I'm under 1500 RPM, this happens. I'll be happy to provide more info if needed. Thank you.
 
My trucks shifts early when I'm light on the throttle. But it isn't rough riding at 1500 rpm.

Sounds like wide open throttle it shifts like normal? Have you checked your intake air filter?

Shift points can be altered if the factory wheels and tires have been changed on the truck.
 
Have you tried the throttle position sensor recalibration?

RESET TPS & ACCELERATOR PEDAL (did once and works great so far)
1-Foot OFF of the brake and accelerator pedal
2-Press the START BUTTON until the RUN position is achieved but DO NOT start the vehicle. (If you do, turn off, open door and let everything reset before restarting).
3-Wait until all the instrument panels idiot/cycle lights go OUT (Check Engine light may stay on)
4-Slowly press the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and then slowly let off. I think a steady and consistent motion is best.
5a-Press START BUTTON again to turn everything off. (Open Door?) Start the truck as normal. That should recalibrate the pedal so that you are using its full range of motion in synch with the throttle body's opening.
or
5b-Press Brake pedal and START BUTTON to start truck.

Need more info.
Which engine?
Are you in 2WD?
Is your tire size still stock?
"If I'm under 1500 RPM, this happens." What happens, exactly? ECO mode? Early torque converter lockup? Under load or while coasting?

Thanks for all your responses. It's a 2WD, 5.7, and stock 20" wheels and tires. The air filter was recently changed. I'm going to try the other things. I'll report back when I do.
