I just got my truck flashed yesterday with the updated transmission program. Seems to have eliminated the grobble I was getting when the "eco" mode was on and I would give it partial throttle. Almost like it was in too high of a gear and didn't want to down shift.

Now that is all gone and seems to shift alot smoother.

Occasional hard downshift, eengine laboring in 4cyl mode at about 45 MPH. Bad vibration due to the laboring... went into 4cy mode to easily in town driving.

That flash transformed mine...........

Is there a tsb or something for this flash, or do you just go on and ask for it?

This is exactly what my truck does in ECO mode ( when MDS kicks on ). This is why I disabled mine. I even had a reflash done in 09 for 'MDS driveability improvements' under some TSB but it still was not good. I would not buy another Ram unless this was somehow fixed.

If you send me your VIN I can try and find the TSB that may apply to this issue so that when you take it in you will have the information for the tech.
