Yes, the Quad will reset the TAPS. It wont put it in fast learn but it will at least get you shifting smoothly by the end of next week. Do not hammer your truck while its in this mode. Start out with a moderate power level like a tow tune and be easy on the throttle for about 2 days. Then bump it up and get a little more aggressive on the throttle for two more days. On the last 6 or 7 days turn it up to the power level you will drive it at and get pretty rough with it. The TCM will adapt accordingly.

Take your truck up to 60mph, stick it in 1st gear, let the tranny slow you down to 5mph.
Do this three times. That will teach the tranny.

(dont be scared, it will not hurt the tranny)

Its going to take about two weeks for it to completely learn and build the new shift tables. After about two days on the econo tune bump it up.

ive done that once while going 30, felt like the truck fell on its face, i had it on cruise in the hills and while going down the hills it would jerk back and forward easing its way down the hills at 70.

man i gotta try that with some one and scare the **** out of them, itsnt the transmission supposed to remain in neutral till it hits a low enough speed for 1st? or maybe that was just my 03 sierra that did that.

Flush the whole system by using the HOOT method. I would do it after about 1500-2000 miles. Takes 5 gallons and you dont have to change it but every 50K. Those two fluids help the clutches hold a lot more friction.
