My dealer told me it has the latest update and they think it is normal. What do you guys think?? I think if it shifted earlier it would get alot better fuel miledge.
The trannsmissions in these trucks have adaptive learning. Your 08 is used to how you drive it. The 09 doesn't have a clue, because of it being test driven. Is the gearing the same between the two trucks? That could make some difference. I don't think anything is wrong with your truck. Mine does it at around the same speed as yours. If I am really gentle with it, it will shift into OD around 40 ish mph. Normal accel OD shift is the same as yours.
