I've seen A LOT threads about Shift Firmness, WOT, Timing, etc...but my concern is downshifting. My 2007 F150 FX4 SCAB 5.4 is downshifting hard, and sporadic. This happens only in stop-and-go traffic (which I rarely drive in) but I want to see what opinions are out there to avoid it. If i'm coming to a stop or slowing down in 2nd or 3rd gear, and then I accelerate the truck will drop to the lower gear...and it's a rough/delayed shift. At 105K my tranny is still going strong, but I fear this will be an issue down the road. I dont think my mods would help, but just in case...

K&N drop-in
Bilstein 5100
275/65/20 BFG A/T
Edge Evo on Level 2, no change in canned tuned other than tire size.

I promised I searched, and there A LOT of custom settings everyone has suggested and I've seen one user mention the downshift issue...but he hasn't logged back on in awhile. Help Please?!

Didn't ever see that option

 

You can adjust shift points...

1-2
2-3
3-4

and then downshift

4-3
3-2
2-1

I'm curious if anyone has adjusted the downshift, (+) is performance and (-) is economy...so would that apply to downshifting. For example a tighter shift be better for stop-in-go traffic?

 

Or am I wrong here?

 

Take it to a professional tuner, I'd trust them over myself anyday. You have $15,000 of drivetrain components relying on a $300 canned computer tune, I'd go custom tailoring. The Edge never played nice with my tranny which is why I switched 70k miles ago.

You may want to email Bill @ PHP, he wrote the tunes for the Edge unit.

 

or post on the php forum....

 

Don't recall seeing the downshift points...but they may be there...
