Looked up both of those TSB's. Mine was for 2017. The 2274 is for '18's, although it looks like the same procedure is done.
Need to check your build dates.

Interesting.
A couple of points:
1) I have no idea why a dealership would push back against doing this....these are all covered by the factory warranty and all the dealer does is bill Ford. I would be surprised if they weren't happy you came in.
2) I have zero complaints - in fact...it's one of the best drive trains I've driven. The shift logic "learns" - doesn't it? I mean, if you get it re-flashed...how long before it's adjusted to your driving style?

2018's have a TSB on the 10 speed... Of course my small Ford place couldn't find it yet. 5.0, 3.5 and 2.7 are all included. It is free under warranty.

Maybe I had way early programming since my 2018 was an October 2017 build. I dunno. But I am really glad I asked the dealer to update the PCM.

Mine was built the month before i bought it (was built in July 17, bought it in late august) and it shifted ok until it learned then it was just bad. This is way way better.

I dropped my truck off last Friday for the seat belt tensioner recall and an oil change. I also asked my dealer to perform TSB 18-2274
My 2018 truck has a 10/2017 build date.
This TSB applies to trucks manufactured on or before May of 2018.
Holy Mother of God what a difference. I simply cannot believe how much better this thing shifts.
Ask your dealer SPECIFICALLY for TSB 18-2274
Edit: I complained about the crappy shifting, lunging from 1-3, weird rubber band type fall into gear from 3-4 or 3-5
TSB was performed for free.

When the dealer reprograms the transmission, does it have any affect on Forscan modifications? I would think they are only working in the TCM, but I wasn't sure if they just reflashed all the modules or not.

My truck was built in May of 2017 I would imagine it's the same TSB as you had done?FWIW besides the lunge shifting from 1-3 and the occasional 4-5 hesitation it shifts pretty good otherwise!!
