When Ford in their infinate wisdom started with the first couple of reflashes, it was nothing but a disaster. Detuned the engine, noisier, poor power, and the list goes on. All the subsiquent flashes have been stop-gap measures to get the truck to the level it was purchased at. So unfortunately, us that got the original flash are stuck playing the reflash game until Ford gets it right. I'm not holding my breath.
My truck is fairly close to the power and take off speed when original, but they now screwed with the tranny and the tow/haul feature. That has me a little more than POed.
Re: What Is Wrong With Getting A Truck Flashed?!?!
Originally posted by 04 LARIAT STROKER I was just wondering why it is not good to have a new 6.0 flashed.
now, not so much. Go here to see what calibrations or flashes do. http://www.flatratetech.com/6literpo...l_updates.html . I have an early 03. Still runs good but the October flash took away some fuel economy and some of the acceleration performance. Like Microsoft, some of the flashes will fix one thing and break something else. Ford says they are coming out with a fix for the problems created by the Oct flash and they are long overdue.
