I upped the Pedal Monster from sport 3 to sport 8. O M G this thing is a ROCKET! The trans can't keep up. If I try Track mode I feel I may break something. I don't know what it is actually doing but its overrevving the transmission all the way through 6th because it can't hop gears. Think I will back it down to maybe 4, its a bit hot right now, but look out Dude in F150 next time we meet all you will see are tail lights.

mibe smelled burnt so I rolled back the PM and enabled the soft engagement feature.

Trans temps have remained steady @ 195* so not too much to worry about, its the flare between 1,2,3,4,5,6 that is the issue, it needs to be 2,4,6 for this kind of performance to work, but its using every gear, so going to back it down to where I had it.

I'll let you know what mine looks like when I do a drain, filter change and fill soon.

Correction it was level 6 not 8. I turned it back to 3, no sense trying to break something. I have more than enough oomph at 3. Track? nope, been there, done that, not a good idea with 1050 pound feet of torque. My driveway cannot hold up to that. Already leaving light furrows with sport 3 and thats barely touching the pedal.
