    I advise being prepared to leave your truck for the better part of a day for diagnosis.
    It's what my dealer is wanting to do; again. Except this time it will be abnormal:rolleyes:...stupid assholes.

    That's awesome it is running better. Have to get mine in for a check and get my musical LCA taken care of at the same time.

    Thanks for this! Very helpful. Out of curiosity, what does VDS stand for?

    I have never had my S mode shift to 5th gear. What speed does it shift into 5th at? Do I just drive too slow?

    Just dropped my truck off at the dealer for the reflash. It was alarming when they claimed to have never heard of such a TSB nor the issues I was having (yeah right). I wasn't sure if they were completely condescending or just plain ignorant. Talked to a tech 5 minutes later and said they've had over 20 tacos in the last month come in saying they have these symptoms (yet a small percentage could actually replicate the issue) Either way, Im the first at this dealer to get the reflash so hopefully it does improve the drivability

    The shift to 4th when you go to S mode is completely normal.

    Thanks, and hopefully I have some positive input to relay to you all later in the day once I pick my truck back up. But I hear you.. That's why I hate going to stealerships! Even on the test drive with the tech, he's just oozing arrogance and I was sensing some passive aggressiveness. But just talk to them intelligently and politely, but most importantly stick to your fucking guns! And VOILA... They decided they would take the truck in for the reflash although the tech couldn't get it to replicate the issue verbatim. These people act like we want things to be wrong with our brand new trucks.. Wtf over?! Lol

    My vin's on the list and I have the "Failure to Upshift" issue in cruise. Going to have them do it at the 15K service in a few weeks. I thought it was just normal. I drive a lot of hills on the interstates here. Thanks for this.

    Seems to be a noticeable improvement all around but I dont want to feel like it could be placebo effect. Need to hear inputs from other members. Cruise much better and delay much better.
