When it's cold out, that mean sitting at idle for periods of time? It will be in the 40s here... and we know idling isn't that great!

Would think they could do the same as Ford did.... really would have thought even better. Maybe bump the pressure down a smidge for cold shifts?

Was thinking of getting one of those. Think I'll stick with SLR Extreme, shifts are perfect hot or cold. SLR+ flared on the 3-5 shift, towing was good as well.

What Sean told you is correct - your FICM is indeed going out. Please do have a close and hard look at the the charging system to prevent any recurrence of the issue with a rebuilt version of your module or another one (as the case may be).
We can set you up with a replacement unit on exchange that could go out today tuned and ready to go - either with any version of Ford's software or with a PHP tune at your preference.
Alternatively and if you can afford the downtime, we can work on your unit and get a working version of yours back to you.
Sorry that you're having issues, but at least you aren't stuck giving crazy money to the dealer over it.
If you want to talk through the options, give us a shout. We're at 515-897-4459.

Sounds like a flair, RPM should come out during the shift to save your tranny clutches. Shift is from 3-5? Lots of people saying that's the problem shift for them.... big flair and BAM! Why the Bulldog eats trannies, high RPM and no timing removed during the shift.

We actually offer folks the option of a 3/8" double deep aluminum transmission pan and a pleated full flow pleated filter to round things out so long as they are dropping the pan for the two minute solenoid job. Under that model, they can have decent full-flow filtration (instead of the 'screen' 6.0 owners have now), a WAY more stable transmission case through the install of the beefier pan (nothing like a cracked transmission case to ruin your whole day either), WAY better 3-5 shifting, and (likely) a transmission that will last soooo much longer.
Flowing twice the fluid to the final drive clutches in half the time can only be a good thing....

I need to get them on the site, but we've just recently been offering the pair of transmission solenoids that cover this weak link in our beloved Torqshifts for this very reason. Nothing like a P2703 code to ruin your whole day.
