ECM calibration codes
Ok what I would like to find out is where I stand in the
ECM calibration codes with this
Is this what I should be looking for? If yes, is this one of the better ones
or is it a problem child and how current is it?
For those that what to know how I got this I used a Snap-on Solus V7.4
to pull the data.
Thanks

I have had the VXCF4 calibration since the truck was brand new (Early 2005) and have never had a problem with it ( the code). Is there any reason for getting the newer flash at this point? (Besides the cost of the flash, I would also have the extra cost of getting my SCT tunes updated also)

Doing a google search you are the only person to ever claim the vxcf6 strategy.
Unless it was a factory flash that was only used for a few build cycles.
Flash 7 was released a few months after the Buzz flash.

It just doesn't have the injector stiction precausions like the Buzz Flash or Induction Heating of Flash 9.
So really they all have their pluses and minuses. I personally like the Buzz Flash, but I realize it annoys the crap out of most people.

Hmmmm... now I am seriously second guessing myself.
I am very certain the calibration of my 2005 F250 which was updated October 2006 was VXCF5. Which was the Buzz Strategy.
I used a buddy's SCT today and pulled a VXCF4HH on my 2006, which the OASIS showed as being updated January 26th. 2007. Still "Buzz" strategy territory and my truck does indeed have the 30 seconds+ buzzing of the injectors after engine shut-down.
So either I was wrong about strategies, or my truck has a modest tune installed and did not realize it.
