Does anyone out there know what the current recalibration code is for the 6.0L diesel? Has there been an updated one since Oct. of 2003? I have an 04 6.0L PSD built on Sept. of 03. It was flashed in Oct. of 2003 and my milege went up unlike everyone elses seeming dropped. Topped out at 19.2 highway. Has dropped lately here to 13.4 on the highway. Dealer says there is a new recal code since october of 03? Is this true, orf are they filling me full of BS? My truck is a 6-speed not a torque shift 5 speed. So I would think it would be an entirely different program wouldn't it? I know the automatic's idle alot lower.

Thanks. I'll see if that is what there going to use

 

The Dec -03 flash is that last one for MOST6-oh's - the later ones were for high altitude or Calif only... IIRC...

 

1/30/04 update includes some high alt./calif. concerns AS WELL AS...
49 state cold idle, P2263 code turnoff, Torqshift updates, P0299 enhancements, P0500 enhancements on M/T, and Torqshift hard engagement concerns!

 

See http://www.flatratetech.com/6literpo...l_updates.html for a complete listing of flashes and what they include.

 

PAN,

Need to follow the link that SBV45 posted to determine which flash you need. Correct flash is based on enging build date. Engines built 09-28-03 and before are 03 engines, engines built 09-29-03 and after are 04 engines. The flashes are different.

This flash is only for 04 engines built 09-29-03 and after.

There has been only one flash for the 04 motors but, there are eight flashes for the 03 motors (built 09-28-03 and before). Last 03 flash was in December 03.

You need to check your engine build date sticker located on the FICM left valve cover at firewall by degass bottle.

Hope this helps

 

I received my truck from Ford on Sept. the 14th approx. It's an 03 engine I would say unless they got a wild hair somewhere to yank an 04 early.

 

What the heck is Tip in/Tip out?

 

Tip-in = Press on gas and go!!!

Tip-out = Let up on gas and slow down.

It's the "lag" or "play" in the gas peddel (sorry guys, it's the fuel peddel.

Thanks,

Jeff

 

PAN,

With the 03 motor, last available flash was the December 12,03; B28.09 (RC8).

Hope this helps

 

Don't do Dec. flash if you want engine braking in 4th & 5th gears.

 

Why did Ford decide to get rid of engine braking in the higher gears? It was nice to be able to go down a steep hill with my 10,000# trailer and let Tow/Haul mode hold it at 55 MPH rather than ride the brakes. BTW, I did this with a '03 truck, not my current '04.

 

The engine braking is there on 4th and 5th but you need to apply the brakes firmly first. I tried it with my boat.

Thanks ! I will go try it. Will it work without a load?
