Has anyone noticed a slam/jerk when hitting the gas hard?

I had this issue up to about 5-6 weeks ago when my dealership told me I needed the update for pcm and Tcm has been gone ever since

See I was thinking that too. I’ve heard of dealers updating shift points and better configurations. I will wait and see what they say if o ever get an appointment. Busy time of year......

This transmission has over 40 shift strategies depending on temp, load, etc. Have the dealer check for software updates for your vehicle.

I get some funky shifts in stop and go traffic; mostly weird downshifts, but nothing like you've described under acceleration.

Hi Casper,

We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing some uncertainty with downshifts. If you are continuing to experience this concern, we recommend visiting your local Ram dealer. Please message us if additional assistance is needed.
