TSBs are typically handled under the appropriate warranty if symtons or problems exist.

It appears that you have not exceeded the powertrain warranty mileage/timeperiod.

What problems are you experiencing with your transmission?

The Canadian (6 sp LBZ) trucks had to be reprogrammed for the cold weather high idle circuit. I don't remember exactly why but I think it had to do with excessive backpressure on the pressure line to the cooler. I would call the dealer and ask them if the reflash is still free and needed for your truck.

I believe the TSB Mike is talking about is located here. I think with the high idle and the cold air temptress the TC was being baked.
