Took the truck to the dealership for these issues:
1. HVAC - Passenger side blows cold, driver side blows hot
2. While driving 45-55 mph brake and accelerate truck acts like its not in gear then bump slams into the correct gear.
Lucky for me I have the premium extended Ford warranty, for part 1 above I had to have the left side actuator and motor assmbly replaced, for part 2 I had to have the automatic transmission main valve assembly overhauled, the regulator valve was sticking and had the PCM and TCM calibrated. I thinkk it took care of my issues and only cost me my deductable....could have been around $2000 worth of labor and parts...The extended warranty definitly came in handy for this work that was done to my truck.

Loafing around in 5th or 6th with the toque converter locked around 1200rpms, take my foot off the gas for a few seconds and coast, then get back on the gas decently, the rpms jump up 200-300 like the truck isn't in gear, then the torque converter slams/thumps and locks again. Feels real harsh inside the truck.
Does this sound like what your truck was doing. I have not taken it to the dealer yet, I've just been too busy. But I can pretty much duplicate it on-demand, so hopefully that means easier to fix.

Can you tell me a bit more about issue #2? I think my truck is doing something similar.

Do you think the overhaul of the main valve assembly would fix the harsh 1st to 2nd shift as well? I've got a bad 1 to 2 shift, and cant seem to find a fix from the dealer.
"well, we reflashed it. Drive it for a 100 miles and let us know if it helped....." So sick of this answer from the dealer.

Issue 1 is the blend door actuator. Simple fix and a common issue.
Not sure about #2, my trans is smooth as silk, and got even smoother with a tune.
