48RE Trans Shift Question/Fix for You Trans Guys

I have the normal early up down shift between 2nd and 3rd like it can't make up its mind unless you take off at about 1600 rpms or more and keep it there. I also have an early up shift that will take me from 2nd to 3rd lockup than at 40 mph I get an eratic hard shift to 4th this is without the tow haul mode ingauged. My truck has always had these issues but the dealer keeps blowing me off. I have 66000 miles on the truck and I am about to change the fluid, filter and ajust the bands. I was wondering if I should be changing any of the solenoids or anything else while I am into it?

I hope I explained myself clear enough any assistance is greatly appreciated.
