Thumbs up

if I really punch it the traction light comes on and the transmission would shift hard now I can punch and it really hauls and no hard shifting. beat thing i should have done it a long time ago, highly recommend it.

Is there an easy way to find out if my 06 has been updated? Or do I need to take it to a dealer? TIA
