My truck threw a "Check 4x4" message at me this weekend when shifting into 4wd. Got it to the dealer yesterday to have them fix that and told them the tranny was doing some funny shifting and that there was a reflash that would fix it. The service adviser said he'd never heard of any problems, etc.
They called in the afternoon to tell me that they were changing out the transfer case shift motor and that they were reflashing the PCM, as they'd found a TSB about the issue (10-21-13).
Picked it up last night and first thing I noticed that it seems to be idling a lot quieter. In the cab, I can't even tell the engine is running. Seems to be idling at 550 RPM or so.
The drive home was done moderately as I figure the tranny should be in learning mode and I didn't want to teach it any bad habits
I'm hoping that this resolves my shifting issue, but from what everyone else is saying, I suspect not...

I have yet to notify my dealer. It only does it the first couple of shifts, so I won't be concerned about it until it starts throwing codes. When it goes to see it's dealer in a few thousand for regular maintenance, it will be getting TSB 11-1-5 (ticking) and TSB 10-21-13 performed.

Tranny ???
I called the dealer yesterday I'm taking it in the 21 for a overnight stay. I told them the tranny shifts stupid when its cold the first few minutes till it warms up. Also told them about my rust on the front bumper . The newest problem is the Reverse Aid doesn't work and it shows on the dash you have to click OK to clear the screen. So there are several things for them to work on I have 14,450 mi on the truck.

Go to the 6.7 forum involving this issue. More info given.Shortcut was given in the first few pages. A Ford engineer is also responding there. They are now suggesting not getting the latest flash until they work out some bugs. I have not checked it in 5-6 days so some new info might be there. So far no problems with mine - knock on wood.

My buddy was told it was his driving habits in the cold weather. We'll see about that as soon as it warms up.

Tranny!
That cold weather might be right our temps have been up and I can't say I noticed it this morning. But I can't have it not going when the temps are down. My reverse sensors have stopped working most of the time ,intermittent problem's aren't good the camera still works though.
