    So I figured it's high time to take care of some TSBs that relate to the ECU, specifically:

    T-SB-0079-15: Intermittent 2nd - 3rd Up Shift Flare
    T-SB-0077-16 R1: ECM Calibration: Shift Feeling Enhancements
    T-SB-0062-18: Stumble at Wide Open Throttle Takeoff
    T-SB-0125-18: Engine Idle Surge With Steering Input

    When I take the truck to the dealer, will one ECU flash be enough to cover all the TSBs? If so, is there a specific version I should be asking for?

    Thanks

    Can each of those symptoms be duplicated, or did you just read about them and think your truck needs it?
    I ask because, a lot of people do not understand what a TSB really is, and think just because they present it the dealer must perform it.
    Since you have the TSB numbers, what calibration ID does each refer to?

    Anyone of those will get you the newest calibration. It’s not as complicated as you think.

    100% can be duplicated. Lots of mixed driving recently (city and highway, various speeds, various throttle levels) and I've noticed all of them.

    Most fixes are 0404B I believe. Multiple symptoms, same flash.

    Shouldn't take very long at the dealer right? Reproducing the issue + techstream flash would be about all there is to it I'd imagine

    Then they should do the most up to date flash, which would cover all those. Just let them know you have multiple issues. Depending on the dealer, they may go ahead and do it with no fuss, or they could be hesitant. If needed, be prepared to do a ride along to prove to them, but hopefully you have a good dealer that is willing to take care of the customer.
