I have also had inconsistent shift in 3-4 and 4-5 in normal mode. The vehicle shift is like a slippage with a mismatch of shift point and engine speed. Happens under lighter acceleration in traffic. If accelerate harder with RPM's in 3,000+ range it shifts smooth & crisp.
I saw hard "bang"...
Looks great. Which cover is on your truck?

Thanks. I had my order modified this am, removing the graphics. To each their own but I think the graphics make it look too busy around the Raptor Graphic along with a small graphic on the hood and back. I will look at what others like yourself get done after market.
