Ok mine has the same 0-15-30.. I have not noticed the tranny issues other the then 5pm shudder..

Hopefully it is fixed here is the TSB I brought to the dealer and they performed it.

here's the full text of the TSB. The tables at the bottom aren't shown, they just say that it's a 0.4 hour job, part no. recalem, condition code 04.

FORD:
2011 F-150


This article supersedes TSB 11-4-13 to update the Title and Issue Statement to include additional DTCs. ISSUE:

Some 2011 F-150 vehicles built on or before 4/1/2011 may exhibit a malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) illuminated with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) P0711, P2610, P2111 or P2112. Additionally, flex fuel capable engines 3.7L and 5.0L may exhibit a hard start in cold ambient temperatures less than 10° C (50° F) when using flex fuel, or may exhibit a MIL illuminated with DTCs P0171, P0172, P0174 or P0175 after a fueling event.
ACTION:

Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE

  1. Reprogram the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to the latest calibration using IDS release 72.02 and higher. This new calibration is not included in the VCM 2011.3 DVD. Calibration files may also be obtained at www.motorcraft.com.
    NOTE:PLEASE ADVISE THE CUSTOMER THAT THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH AN ADAPTIVE TRANSMISSION SHIFT STRATEGY WHICH ALLOWS THE VEHICLE'S COMPUTER TO LEARN THE TRANSMISSION'S UNIQUE PARAMETERS AND IMPROVE SHIFT QUALITY. WHEN THE ADAPTIVE STRATEGY IS RESET, THE COMPUTER WILL BEGIN A RE-LEARNING PROCESS. THIS RE-LEARNING PROCESS MAY RESULT IN FIRMER THAN NORMAL UPSHIFTS AND DOWNSHIFTS FOR SEVERAL DAYS.
    The calibration update contains improvement actions and enhancements to address the following by engine configuration:
3.5L Ecoboost Engine:

  • Improved Idle Stability Calibration
  • Improved Calibration to prevent False P0711 DTC
  • Improved Calibration to prevent False P2610 DTC

  • Improved Cold Start Calibration when using E-85 Ethanol or mixture of Flex Fuel in cold ambient temperatures less than 10° C (50° F).
  • Improved Calibration to prevent False P0711 DTC
  • Improved Calibration to prevent False P2610 DTC
5.0L Engine:

  • Improved Flex Fuel Calculation after Refueling Event to prevent False P0171, P0172, P0174, P0175 DTC
  • Improved Cold Start Calibration when using E-85 Ethanol or mixture of Flex Fuel in cold ambient temperatures less than 10° C (50° F).
  • Improved Calibration to prevent False P0711 DTC

I believe the build date for mine was june and I have the idle shudder, but my mileage increments are 0 - 10 - 20 - 30.
Wonder if I should try the reflash?

I have the occasional rough idle and my increments are 10-20-30 too. I'm curious about the flash too. My truck seems a little grumpy early in the morning before it warms up. Once it warms up, good mileage, good power, runs smooth. Only problem is an occasional awkward shift.

Shifting has been much better after driving the truck for a full day.. Time to start modding. Intake/exhaust go on tomorrow.

My question is how do I know if they did this.

I seen that others stated that the Instant fuel mileage window shows more increments as well as the gear selection showing at all times.

On my truck neither of these are present.

Anyone else know how to tell if the dealer is blowing smoke up my *** about this being performed.

Thanks
You have to turn on the gear display. The big change is after the flash, it remembers the setting.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

That's how I knew they did mine.

My truck was built in late June so it already had the most current PCM flash on it from the factory. The MPG increments are 0-10-20-30 and the 1-6 lights stay on all the time once you force them on with the plus sign once. I have no shudder or issues of any kind with idle or transmission.

The best way I've heard and seen to tell if it's been performed is if the 1-6 gears stay on all the time after they are illuminated the first time.

Puts the + on the shifter while in drive.

All of these new vehicles have an adaptive shift strategy, it takes the PCM some time to learn the vehicle and to some extent the driver and it "tunes" the shifts.
