    Glad to hear you found the cause. I've never come across that before... so I've learned something new today.

    Correction: went for a rip earlier and the dually was softer than I remembered so I shortened the min shift time to .3. My guess is that it needs to learn to the quicker times, but I suspect there's a way to land the base pressure so that less correction is required for shorter shift times. What might I need to log for that and how would I plot it? It's something I've been pondering for a bit. If it's the way ahead, then I have 3 trucks to apply it to.

    That's something which I can't help you with... hopefully someone else will be able to help. What I do is leave the line pressures stock and give it some more room to learn by changing {D1101}, {D1102}, {D1103}, {D1107}. There probably is a way to adjust base line pressures, but I would never be comfortable doing that.

    If I had corrected some of the known wrongs in my tune in conjunction with the throttle body swap and done a flash at the same time I would have not known it was a factor either (kinda odd that I didn't as I tend to flash something new into the truck most days). Made for a slower haul as I was afraid to give the thing any throttle with the trailer to try and keep the shifts as soft as possible but now that it's healthy again I can concentrate on some of the things you and Joecar have highlighted. The real prize was taking this back into posession.

    Well there's another reason to fear base pressures as I currently do. Seems these tables would also need to be smartly coordinated with a shift in base pressure. Definitely going to poke around an 8.1 4L80E tune to scout for significant differences.

    Hooked up the trailer again and I must say it is much better than last weekend even if you ignore the smoother shifting. Deleting the kickdown has the transmission downshifting in a far more intuitive manner and having the TPS read properly I'm sure is also helping. I didn't find myself cursing the truck, just needs more power now. Shifts aren't even really that firm, but they are quicker now. I feel I now have the 90% solution as far as drivability, I can't imagine being stuck with a stock tune on one of these things with an automatic.
