The latest flash version 6.0L
I am taking the truck in for a bunch of service etc before warranty is up next month and I was just wondering what everyones experience has been with the latest flash version? I am still running a version from 2007 and really haven't had any issues. I am debating whether I should be getting it updated or not? I understand there is no going back once its been done. Any input is appreciated.

I wouldn't mess with it. You *might* get better cold starting and also less power, mpg etc.

I asked my dealer to do it (truck is under warranty) and they wanted to charge me. I am trying a new dealership to see if they will do anything. I was wondering the same thing, which was my reason for starting this thread, if I am not having problems should I do it or not? I heard that it does something with injectors that improves cold start, and with the winters we can sonetimes have it may be worth it for that.

If you tell them it starts rough they will do it usually

Mine was updated when my FICM went bad at 130K and it created cold start issues. In fact, it is going to private shop on Monday to have some diagnosis to see what the problem. It feels like its is injector related, but the dealer says he can't isolate the problem. What a joke!
