Question for emtabmm

Does the Dec. Flash restore the Pilot injector that was disabled by the Oct Flash? Will the Dec Flash take power and fuel mileage away from my truck. (No flashes since purchase but I do have a few of the annoying problems that will not go away with out the flash) Also do have any gut feelings on fords position to the problems we are having with the early 6.0s. I am trying to figure out if they are really are planning to help us or just let the warranties run out.

A: NO!

C:Yes, they are working every day towards a resolution to this mess, I am guessing late may early june for eta....

Are the trucks that report better mileage the same ones that already had the Oct Flash?

I see the Dec flash as improving the Oct Flash mileage decrease, but I have yet to see a post where someone had the Dec flash done on a previoulsy UNFLASHED truck and got better mileage.

This is what 250tkht is asking.

The Dec flash did not improve mileage decrease caused by Oct flash. My service writer indicated that was the case with others they had flashed with Dec. It was designed to fix some problems with high altitude starts.
