5-6 shift flare, light throttle (2016)
searched and found plenty of shift flare threads out there, but most are for 3-4….
Under minimal throttle applications (rate of acceleration limited due to traffic), my 2016 flares the 5-6 shift for the first 1-3 shifts, then behaves normally. Under medium to full throttle it shifts perfectly. I have tried multiple KAM reset and fluid and filter changes with no luck. It actually gets worse after a KAM reset then clears up for the most part.
Dealer said “normal” but I hate it. Anyone run into this and actually fix it?
What are my next steps?
Custom transmission tuning?
Shift solenoid? entire valve body?
BD pressure enhancer?

My 2016 does this occasionally as well. I am just over 220k miles with the original fluid (to my knowledge). It has done this every once in awhile since I got the truck with under 100k miles. I just try to avoid light acceleration between 5-6 and get firm shifts that’s way.

after it gets out a few funky shifts it runs fine the rest of the day.
Also, not sure if it is related to engine load or tow/haul mode but when I hook up the trailer and hit the road it doesn’t seem to do it
