After reading about this I took my 2017 in and told them I needed a reflash. They asked a couple questions regarding my issues and I told them harsh shifting and that there is a TSB on it. They had it done in 2 hrs. Feels good now.

Has anyone noticed a drastic change in their distance to empty numbers? Mine went down from 610 to 535 when full. The odd thing is that the DTE calc was steady at 533 for 2 days. This is after the reflash.

I took my 18 in for the 10k service and the TSB. At first they were not familiar with the TSB but said they did it when i picked it up. Can't tell if it worked or not? is there a way i can tell if they actually did it?

If they did, you should notice, but not for a day or so since it goes through a learning phase. Mine actually shifted much harder at first, especially from 3-5. The next day it was smooth as silk.

If you can't tell by simply driving, you didn't need it. There's a huge difference in how the transmission behaves in sport mode.

I printed the TSB and gave it to the dealer here near Denver. They looked at me skeptically but their tech did it and it made a huge difference!

Driving in sport mode is much smoother and my mpg average actually went up a half a gallon [emoji2369]

Having been on an MPT tune for a while I was surprised to think that stock felt good.

Now I need to re-pull my stock tune files and send them over to MPT for an update [emoji3]

I went from a 2018 to a 2019 which came with the updated tranny tune. The shifting is night and day in normal and sport.

I’ve done this reflash at my local ford shop. I now have Cobb stage 1
And it seems like the hard engagement is back from N to Drive causing truck to almost jerk forward. Any ideas for this ?
