Even at pretty light throttle around town, every gear seems to hang on just a little too long, and getting longer. Any idea what that might be and how to fix it? There has never been any electronic tuning to the truck. thx.

It is most likely NOT transmission related, It would trip codes if the "Shift Adapts" were maxed out.

Engine performance issues can & will cause the slow progression of later & later shifts, I have fixed similar symptoms with something as simple as a Fuel Filter.
