So hang on, I'm a bit confused. Some people here are saying that their transmissions are getting replaced (common sense should tell us because of a fault in them), but you're recommending a tuning instead?
This has been the case for years with the 10R transmissions. OEM shift logic has been an issue for a long time, aftermarket tuning has helped.

I understand the common sense part for sure, but I would also like to see what the issues are and what problems they are causing. If it's anything like we've seen on other F150 raptors over the last decade, tuning fixes it.

I posted this in another thread about my transmission issues that required a third transmission replacement in my truck in under a year.

This is wild, that's too many failures.

Also, the fluid should be between 2-3, 2.5 is perfect. 4 is too low.

On this next trans try that to start.

Right?!
I am wondering if it is a tuning issue and the transmission faults internally are a result of transmission shifting out of tune with engine if that is possible.
The rough downshifting and stalls coming to a stop started again right after driving the 1000 miles "adaptive drive cycle" as the service tech put it learns to adjust shifting to my driving? 3 transmissions with same mechanical faults in under a year? In one vehicle? What are the odds ?
