Shake 'N' Brake, Kerplunk, Hesitate
I just dropped the '04 off tonight for Service tomorrow.
1. The brakes make the steering wheel shake when braking from moderate speeds.
2. The truck seems to make a weird shifting action when it shouldn't. For example, I'm cruising in 4th gear and all of a sudden something will give a little of a jump. Kind of like when you let off the gas just as the truck is shifting to a higher gear.
3. The hesitation off the line when hitting the gas, when going from a complete stop.
I asked for the reflash (Truck Built 9/03). Hopefully they will just do it and not pi$$ me off. Because I know they're not going to be able to verify my complaint since #'s 2 and 3 happen periodically. It's always the way.

So what happened?
1. They machined the front rotors.
2. The could not verify #'s 2 and 3. And then told me not to listen to anything I read on the internet. I suggested the reflash because I told them that I read about others on the internet who had gotten it done and it helped with the problem. I suggested it because I knew they would not be able to verify the problems. They told me that different trucks have different problems and build dates and I have got to stop reading the internet.
But they're keeping it one more day anyway and just for good measure will do the reflash.
I told them that I only check it when I have a problem, to see if someone else had the same problem and find out what the remedy was. All to assist them. And also to keep me from going back for no reason.
