Default tranny down shifting spiratically

Any info would help. I noticed a small vibration driver's side front, i have beat up tires and rims on it right now, didn't think much of the vibe. On my way to work today truck started downshifting with the slightest change in power demand,any insight before i call mechanic?

There could be some slop in or adjustment needed to your TV (Kickdown) cable.
