Try to eliminate as many variables as possible. Take one thing at a time and fix it. Once the truck acts properly under all driving conditions, then, consider adding the complication of a tune. The tune will not fix some underlying problem in the basic setup.

There have been 2 good mechanics tell me that since these transmissions are electronically controlled that the issue could be in the tune. Since Bill wrote the stock tune for the truck to be a 5.4, could it be possible that something in the tune could be off? Maybe a difference in the 4r70w vs 4r100 part of the tune?
