Very good 88! 
You're much more "attuned" to that hex problem than I am. (I'd kind of forgotten all about it.) :o
As 88 said, Blackfin - DO try to talk to Bill. They have an online "chat" that many people have used with success if you can't get him by phone. (Did I already tell you that?)

Bingo....
What I'd do...
Process of elimination.....
Try level 1 tranny only
If you can afford it try level 3 93 performance
But above everything else contact PHP ASAP....
Preferably by phone and talk to Bill directly...keep on trying till you talk to him.....
Also fill out a support ticket and be detailed and specific.
Comprende?

I'll try the other tunes next, then go back stock, see what happens, while I'm trying to get Bill.
I work at a Ford store; any point in getting a PCM update/reflash? My svc mgr will do it for little $$.
thank you!!

Randy, the PCM update MAY help things, but your programming will still be in the RXDG family. However, if you can get a "deal" on it, I'd do it. You definitely don't want to have the truck reflashed AFTER you get custom tunes, because that will make those tunes invalid and you'll have to pay to have them rewritten. So, do it now rather than later.

I have put in a service ticket at PHP, in fact Cody has already responded.
If I understand this correctly, I will put the truck back to stock tune, have the PCM updated, then let Cody/Bill know if the HEX code changes. Correct?Don't mean to be a pain, but I want to make sure I'm going about this correctly.
thanks!!

Update...
Two tanks on canned 87 tow, runs stronger, better throttle response, picked up prolly 1/2 mpg.
Back to stock today, low speed clunk gone.
Next week, new PCM flash, new plugs, clean TB and MAF. I'll prolly run a couple of tanks through just to see what that did, then back to 87 tow, then hopefully get my custom tunes in a couple of weeks.
thanks!

Got my tunes....
...took about 2-3 weeks, as advertised.
Two weeks on 87 Tow, stronger, better throttle response, all shifting and clunking concerns gone, and picked up .5 mpg to boot. Switched to 87 Perf yesterday, power feels about the same, shifts are smoother.
Mag SISO, Gotts, and Gryphon: changed the whole truck. Far more fun to drive and went from 15.5 mpg to 17.5 mpg. E-fans next.
thanks to all!
