I've documented many times here just how much I can't stand the tranny in my '09 (the 6-speed). Sounds like you don't have the 6-speed, but that you DO experience all of the issues that I do that make me hate my tranny.
A BlackBear tune will help, but will not eliminate the things you don't like.
No additive or anything will help, either -- so, I wouldn't chase those remedies.
I had no issues with the tranny in my '02. Going to the '09 tranny from the '02 was a real disappointment. Heck, my wife's mini van shifts like a dream. Why can't the Tahoe?
The concerns you have with your tranny appear to be part of the nature of the tranny and the computer, and not something that has failed.
To reset the ecm's learning, try disconnecting the battery overnight, and then put the truck through its paces the next day.
