PCM programming:
....newby here, mates.My 97 F150 has a 4.6L/4R70W combination essentially identical to the 4.6L/AODE in my 94 Lincoln Town Car. The truck empty weighs a few hundred pounds more than the Lincoln and the rear axle ratios are close, 3.55/235/70R16 truck vs 3.08/215/70R15 LTC.
I don't use the truck for hauling or towing so I see no need to have the transmission programming set so that shift changes at light throttle begin near 2000-2500rpm. The programming in the TC gives light-throttle gear changes around 1000-1500rpm, much more comfortable particularly when the engine/tran is cold.
So, here's the question: Can the PCM in the truck be reprogrammed with the strategies used in a 97 Lincoln TC? I know a dealer can't do it due to EPA (ugh!) limitations, but can the program really be changed, and, if so, by what means?

If you go with a tuner who really knows their stuff they can set it up to shift almost however you want it to. Unfortunately, you can't do what you are asking, so that is your best resource.
I HIGHLY suggest talking to Troyer Performance for your tuning. You can find them at Troyer Performance

They know these trucks better than anyone.
