NO sorry for yelling

Now that we have that out of the way. Is your truck running OK now?

Receiving re-flash regularly from your dealership would be like having an “enema an hour.”
Boy say that three times fast.

if your truck is running good, do not get it.

Have you had any problems or symptoms that you needed Ford to fix.
Any problems at all.

Hope that helps

I have not had any problems that ford needed to fix yet. It seems to run very well up till now with only 4700 Miles. I'm still wondering what a re-flash is though.

A reflash is like a software upgrade for your fuel injection computer...

Dads66,
I think what Tim might be saying is to use the "search" feature and do some reading before asking a question. And don't ask what type of oil to use either
Cheers,
Bryce
PS
There's no such thing as a stupid question............unless it's been asked several times before. Welcome aboard!!
