Default Shifting weird

Well I finally have her home. The "new" 2002 King Ranch is awesome. However I have noticed one thing. On the highway when I go to pass someone, the truck kicks down to passing gear and it hits 3k rpm and its almost as if the tranny takes a second and reaches clear back to Alabama before it comes back around like the tranny is catching back up to the throttle response I mean you actually feel it "hit" then it smoothes back out. That's the only time it does it. Any thoughts?

Ok. When I go to step on the accelerator to pass it downshifts into passing gear. It then feels like there is a pause and the then it feels like it hits a little harder than I think it should as it downshifts.
