Haha,thanks for asking that question i have the same exact prob,lol.downshifting is dam near impossible w/out using the cluctch.Its a mess to shift up or down,no smoothness either way.Its all over the place,just when you think you have it the truck seems to morph in to a whole new truck.Then when you try to start out real slow and smooth in low gear all of the sudden the dam thing trys to take off like it has a rocket on its back,def not normal.

I found the one I was driving really liked to be shifted down low, real low and give it extra time for the RPMs to drop.

Too many variables to go off an ECM scan. There is no denying a dyno will give you the best info.

ECM scorecard is out of date, needs a calibration update. No recalls. All warranty is expired.

Truck has been in service for 3 years. Engine still has warranty. Engine has the big warranty on it, but it is a custom warranty with Thom's Transport and may not transfer ownership if it is sold. Truck hasn't been scanned in over a year. ECM calibration is out of date and has one open recall for the linear power module for the blower motor. Looks like the EGR cooler was done about 2 years ago.
