Just had my 2002 updated to the latest software today. My truck was built 2001-09-29 and never had any updates to it.

Something changed but I can't just put my finger on it. I have a few questions relative to that:

1- Does a TCM upgrade forces a "quick learn" mode?

2- Is there some documentation about the specific changes between the different TCM and ECM software releases

I feel like the lower speeds are passed at lower rpm, maybe 100-150 rmp lower than before but that may be a fast learn at work.

Also, there's someting diferent bout the 1st speed when I brake with or without tow/haul but I can't put my finger on it.

Haven't towed nor do any highway with the new upgrades yet so I can't comment on it. The dealer will inquire if the 5th speed disable switch is covered or not by the waranty.

Is there a change in performance/fuel economy I should expect from the aproximative version that was in my truck when it was built?

Thanks in advance.
