Ill talk to the monkeys at my dealership today and pass along any info. Just wondering if there was a TSB number or something.

I wish I knew, it woulda made it a lot easier for you guys. But wheres the fun in that?

They said I need to bring it in so they can hook up to the comp. and see if there is any new programs for it.

Go for it. what would that take 5 mins? and if it does have an update its worth it even if it took hours

Yeah, Im due for a oil change soon so Ill just have it checked out then. I've always thought the stock mapping sucked, shifts take forever, always hunting for gears.

Im really just waiting till I win the 5 star tune in the raffle. That and Recon projectors were my next mod, I ordered the Recons last week so the tune will have to wait.

I brought my truck in to get the clunk fixed. They looked and my drive shaft wasn't clunking. They DID notice that ford has sent out a computer update for the 5.4 transmission. It supposedly changed the way the clutch acts, and shift mapping up and down through the gears. I got but had to immediately go to work which was right around the corner, so no test drive. Later that night heading home I got to see the difference.
HOLY GOD! Its so much better now. There is no gear hunting, regular driving shifts are firmer, but much smoother. I did a 0-75 pull and DAMN! It sets you back in the seat pretty hard now. I jumped on the highway and the dreaded lag time when passing is no longer. Throttle is immediate and shifts to the CORRECT gear the first time. Everyone with a 5.4, get your truck to the dealer!

Is their anyway you can write down the oasis number for that update? I called my buddy and he doesnt see a new update... There is an old one if thats is the one you are talking about

Ya my dealer only saw the same old trans relearn that's been out forever. i did a video last night of a rolling 40mph floor stomp to show those who don't know what we're talking about for hesitation.
