    I have good news to report from the dealership.

    My 2017 DCOR was having several issues.

    1. 2nd to 1st gear clunk mostly when it was cold.
    2. Creaking when going 1-5 mph and when tapping the brakes.

    After 5 trips to the dealership I finally got a tech that cared and solved most of my issues. The reflashing of my ECM worked great! It shifts better than when it was new. It’s only been a few hours but so far so good. No more clunk and the entire tranny feels great! The creaking was coming from the front and rear brakes. The tech cleaned them up. I was worried it was a frame issue due to the type of noise it was.

    I attached the TSB in case anybody else is having similar issues. I encourage you all to get this done. The truck shifts like a dream! Even the acceleration smoothed out. It has a wicked torque curve prior. Acceleration was erratic.

    I’m still having severe vibration when taking off from a start under heavy acceleration but I can deal with it...

    Is that the new TSB that came out recently?

    The date on the docs are July of 2016. And it's for MY 2016. But apparently they work for 2017 as well.

    Yeah, it says 2016 but I went to the dealership every 5k and this is the first time they caught it. Not sure if it was incompetence or a new TSB. I just copied the TSB from the work order and snagged the pic from google.
