I don't think that the PCM in those trucks use that particular value when figuring shift points. The automatic-equipped Super Duty trucks are sensitive to those values though.

OK, I've got it now! It's really just the largest signed integer the processor can store:
2 ^ 16 -1. (I knew the number was familiar to me from somewhere). The processor is a 16-bit machine and for some reason, it's holding a hex value of 7FFF - "maxint", in that position). Doesn't look like it serves any useful purpose at all though. Wonder if the good Doctor knows anything about it?
