Transmission ECU Adaptive Learning - Quick question?

[Snakebitten]

Let me clarify, I asked the service department at the dealer I go to and they said they (their service department) are recommending it be done at 60k.

That makes sense.

But I can't convince myself to wait even that long. I let the bumper<>bumper warranty mileage serve as a milestone. So by 36,000 I want to SEE with my own eyes what the fluids look like in each component. Admittedly they should look great. And I hope they do.

I'm at 30k now. So it will likely be this year.

Yeah I was a little late on the fluid exchange for the trans. Initially I read up on the service intervals similar to the chart you posted. Then I joined here and stumbled across other peoples threads and wish I did sooner.

My truck is going back in to the dealer. It’s been almost 1000 miles since the TCM relearn and it drives worse than before. Today I was approaching a roundabout at around 5mph. Pressed the gas and it wouldn’t go, looked down and it was in 8th gear and it didn’t drop down or go anywhere for about 5 seconds while pressing the gas. The truck just revved like it was in neutral. Nice clunk and lurch forward when it finally decided to go too…wasn’t even stone cold, the trans temp wasn’t halfway but it was close, a little more than 1/4 on the gauge. It’s 26f degrees out and it didn’t do this last year. Cold weather adaptive blah blah my a**.
