I will chime in about the "dead pedal". There was some "dead pedal" when I first got my truck which was due to the Drive By Wire(DBW) system. To be honest I feel the same "dead pedal" in my brothers 2012 F350 SD which is also due to his DBW system. After installing a BD Throttle Sensitivity Booster the "dead pedal" and slow boost response when away completely. In stock form the pedal is slow to respond. You can mash the pedal, but the ECM will still send a gradual signal to the engine causing a delay in turbo spool as well. With the BD TSB on 50%, the truck respond to pedal inputs much quicker and is more how you would want your pedal to respond. With the BD TSB on 100%, the truck runs like a scalded cat and you will have a hard time with traction on take offs with slight throttle inputs and gets a lot worse with a tune. I had my truck in this setting for a while with my tune and I had to take it off because I started to notice chunks of tire missing from my rear tires one. It is not that I was trying to burn out at every take off, it was just that the pedal was so sensitive that slight inputs would brake the tires looks.
As far as the 68RFE gear hunting thing I have no idea what Fish is talking about. Mine has never went back and forth hunting for gears even before any mods. I just recently put a module to increase the line pressure in the trans. Not that it needed it, but as added protection since I was adding more power.
Although all this talk reminds me of the moron that wanted to race the other day when I had the gooseneck trailer attached with about 6k worth of tractor on it. I was stopped at the light coming out of Floresville heading back to San Antone. Another guy in a diesel pulled next to me in a bumper pull RV that was probably about 10k total. The light turn green and he just floored it make all sorts of noise. I was just taking off regularly and he was not gaining that much on me. I guess he thought I was racing him (even though I wasn't) because he just kept on flooring it and had to be doing 80 by the time he let off. I was still just 5 truck lengths behind him and I was taking off normally at part throttle. The rest of the way home my wife, my father-in-law, and my mother-in-law just could not stop laughing from how much a moron we thought that guy was. I bet he was thinking to himself that he was real cool when in fact everyone else was thinking he was an idiot.
