Flashes
There is a fair amount of discussion regarding the effects of the flash from October. Most not good, but some good.
A couple of reports talk about using a battery charger while applying the flash. There is a service bulletin on the subject. Apparently the glow plugs and length of time to apply the flash will lower the voltage to a point where the flash does not load properly.
Another report is that the system can be returned to the original programming.
Any Ford service people out there that can confirm or give us the straight scoop on that?
