My 2012 5.0 Screw has 5* 87 performance tune on it. Recent trip on I-81 from Knoxville TN to DC (lots of hills) only down shifted to 5th a few times <5.. It has a 3.55 with 20's on it. Running 70ish on cruise control. (17.8 MPG average)

I have updated my symptoms, in my first post, to state that my truck normally shifts directly to 4th and skips 5th on the way down, but by applying a small amount of pedal with the cruise on it will pull the hill in 6th.

I understand and expect the truck to downshift occasionally when pulling a hill especially with the 35's, but dropping two gears at once is frustrating when a small amount of pedal will avoid the downshift at all.

Sounds like I need to give Bill a call at PHP and get my tune tweaked a bit.
