2014 1500 4WD - I'm sure other 5.7 8HP70 (8-speed) owners have noticed this as well; the transmission delays the 1-2 or 2-3 shift points slightly when the steering wheel is off center. For example, when making a left through an intersection after a full stop, or a right from a stop sign. I know it's not a problem, but I'm curious why this delay would be programmed into the PCM. What were the Engineers trying to achieve? I would have thought an earlier shift would have kept the torque down if they were trying to reduce the chance of wheel slippage while accelerating through a corner. Typical me just trying to analyze the Engineer's logic...
Thoughts?
