They did some updates to the ECU. That along with the plug swap to the SP 542s has mine running like a top. Great throttle response and smooth shifts. I am a happy camper!


Ok. I'll have to look and see if there are any current updates for my truck.

Lately my 1-2 shift is pretty harsh plus some other quirky things with the tranny. Also my truck has developed what feels like a slight miss while driving at stead throttle. Haven't had time to pull the plugs and check them

Has anyone tried a pedal max type product to see if it helps the the trucks with this stuttering on acceleration? I would be curious to see if the revised pedal signals change how the surging happens.

Doing the plugs and the updates has solved my issues, very happy as she is smooth as silk now. Good luck, hope you get it worked out

I did trans update as well and my 1-2 shift in Sport is also much harsher than before (at light <20% throttle). >40% and it's always smooth.

Since the trans update, in sport mode, I will occasionally get a bit of a harsh (really overly firm) shift on 4-5 with light throttle. This is only occasionally and never under medium to heavy throttle, where it has never been harsh. Mine has never occurred on 1-2.
