Did anyone ever find a cause or fix for this issue? My 2017 3500 with Aisin is doing the exact same thing! It stated last March 2017 and after researching it on this site, I had them do TSB 18-037-16 last May but it has randomly done it since. Specially the last couple weeks its done it twice in the last four trips at almost the exact same place each time.

I'm towing about 4K and running in 5th gear (tow/haul), with cruise control at 68mph, ambient temperature about 30F at about 5000 feet elevation. It shifted back and forth between 4th and 5th grade several times. Then down the road just about a mile, it crested a steeper grade in 5th without any problem. I monitored the boost pressure and as others have mentioned, it's like the boost is 'stuck' at 7-9 psi.

I'm thinking it must be a programming issue? I thought about it being in regen but can't imagine it would always do occurring at the same place in the road!

Any help, information or suggestions would be appreciate.
 
Nope, nothing yet. It tends to go away for me in the winter.....and I tend to just deal with it. I probably should push harder at the dealer.
 
Thanks for your reply. It seems to be more of a colder weather issue for me so I'm thinking it really doesn't have much to do with the air temperature.

I am going to continue to push harder with my dealer. Maybe if enough of us do that, there might be a recognition of the issue and eventually a fix.
 
Yeah, it is really odd....it mostly goes away in the winter, but it's still just intermittent in the summer....so it's like temperature kinda-sorta has some influence sometimes. :rolleyes:
 
Has anyone found more information on this issue? Mine continues to intermediately act like boost is ‘stuck’ at 7-9lbs when cruise is set so it shifts back to 5th when it should just increase boost. Other times in the same conditions and place it will increase boost without any decrease in vehicle speed as you would expect. Very frustrating!
Any help would be appreciated as I’m not getting where with my dealer.
 
Nothing here...but I haven't been back to the dealer with it either...I certainly need to before my powertrain warranty is up. I would also say mine is getting worse.
