My 19 does it. Shifting from 3 to 4. Only when cold and if I don’t give much throttle. If I give enough throttle and the transmission skips 4, ie goes 3 to 5 there is no hesitation.

Exactly the same. 3rd to 4th and taking it easy on the throttle.

Nope. No dealer required. These things don't build much heat just idling after starting cold. Takes about 1/4-1/2 mile to get mine right.

Normal.

Nope. mine doesn’t even remotely do anything like that. So something seriously wrong. Take to the dealer until they find out the problem

After 50k miles, I know what this thing is going to do. I can let it idle in the driveway for 10 minutes. I still gotta get around the corner and down the road for it to come alive.

The dealer would laugh at me if I brought it in for that.

Maybe Ford should put a heating element in the tranny pan then.

over 45k miles on mine. I start it up everyday and instantly head down my 100’ driveway (with no warm up) and have to floor it to merge onto a busy street. No problems at all. Should I take mine in and tell dealer something is wrong because I don’t have any hesitation???? Or should you???

I’ll let you decide whose truck is normal.

So, you are saying your truck drive and shifts exactly the same from when you start it up compared to after it warms up? And that the dealer needs to look at it if not?
