Seems like a real problem and not just emissions related. The truck seems to run fine; no abnormal vibration.




Seeing the dealer on wednesday and was supposed to leave for a 2 month trip on sunday.

Bad to go sunday anyway and wait for a dealer on the road?
How likely is it that the dealer will have this fixed on wednesday same day?

Not sure what it means exactly
"Reprogram the PCM to the latest calibration using IDS release 68.01 and higher. This new calibration is not included in the VCM 2010.7 DVD. Calibration files may also be obtained at www.motorcraft.com."

Seems like they just recalibrate numbers that will light up the engine light and don't actually need to fix anything. Am I right?
