6R80 sudden transmission downshift powertrain control module programming

Does it work correctly

Truck runs just as it did. Now I just know it shouldn’t randomly shift into first. cant tell a bit of difference tbh.

On the plus side since it was filthy when I picked it up, I was motivated to do a full detail this morning

I’m over 275k on my 2012, and from what I remember the programming was to make it default to 3rd instead of 1st which is much more manageable going down the interstate, ask me how I know, LOL! I still have not replaced my lead frame but I need to as it has errored out and kicked down to 3rd much more frequently this year. To fix it, I pull over put it in park and shut it off. Give it a few seconds and start it back up and go. Not ideal I know but I have been doing this for a few years now so I’m use to it. Currently I’m less than 10k away from getting the transmission serviced so I’m debating doing it then. I just don’t want to go through the hassle of it sitting at the service center while they do nothing to it for weeks. Apparently I like to live dangerously.

Okay, I have decided to quit prolonging the inevitable and just replace the whole valve body, which comes with the new lead frame instead of just thre lead frame only. The earliest my normal Ford dealership can get me in is December 7th?!?! Went to a different Ford dealership (closer to home) and I drop it off this Monday. They are like 20 miles apart, but dang what a difference in transmission tech support. Hope it goes well. Oh there also was a RaptoR (how do you say it? Raptor arrrrr!) in the showroom that only had a $39k ADM if anyone was interested.

I bit the bullet and made an appointment to get the 6R80 reflash. At least no waits to get in and it will be done while I wait. Closest dealer is about 40 miles away.

Had my TCM update done this morning. Since I'm an hour away from the dealer I told them when booking I would have to wait for it. They had no problem with that and were very accommodating to get it in first thing when I showed up. Only took 1.5 hours and zero issues.
Thank you Skaha Ford
