Sometimes Chrysler years are kind of like dog years.

I didn't wait for Chrysler to do a reflash and told my Dealer that it is pretty sad that the after market can come up with a solution to the transmission staying locked in in OD when it is not appropriate but was not worth voiding the warranty. He could not come up with a come back. I converted mine from a column shift to a console shift and manually shift mine and solved a lot of problems.
I tow a 18K 5th wheel over mountain passes in the Rocky Mountains and have much better control of the transmission. The computers will not let me over rev the engine but not letting me down shift to soon or up shift going up a grade. It will still down shift if I am not paying enough attention pulling a grade in manual mode.

Not sure exactly what it fixes for the transmission. I only copied the things that changed with the revision.

I see that is for a '13 with 68rfe, do you know anything about a '14 68rfe and a '13 Aisin?

 

[sag2]

There is same (I'm assuming similar) info for 14 pickup, and 13-14 cab chassis.
