He says i have a low pressure rise problem that it is only reaching 80 to 90 psi instead of 120 or 130 psi and that i need to reflash or replace my trucks computer, does this sound right to anyone????

It sort of sounds like, the shop likes to throw parts at it. But don't really understand electronics and such. It would be very simple. To hook up a scanner, monitor data and see when the computer commands a 3rd gear shift. Then, see when 3rd gear actually happens (shift timing error). You don't "put everything" in a valvebody. Thats too much of a blanket statement, and alot of time and money. Pressure tests should have been done ealier in the diagnostic routine. Also, the shop should have a "shift box" of some sort. Why would anyone refurbish to 3/4 clutch when a downshift don't happen???
You might want to run away from that shop.
