New truck, 1st problem

I got the truck I have been wanting for a long time, but I wish maybe I found this forum first. Have an '04 250 Crew FX4. It had died on me a couple of time in trafic and if it was not warmed up good, it did not run at all. Took it back to Ford and the did a flash up date. Seems to have fixed it and maybe picked the MPG up, so they said it would. I got 16.7 on the fisrt tank and have help in the mid 16's. It has a little over 4k on it. I hope it turns out to be a good truck or my wife will kill me.

I have enjoyed reading some of the info here. Thanks

Welcome to the best Ford Truck site on the net. I really enjoy it and get good info from it. Great information sharing.

I haven't heard of a flash fixing engine dieing problems. But I learn something new everyday. The F250 with 6.0 is a great truck. Lean back and enjoy it.

They told me it was a fuel flow problem and the flash took care of it.
So far so good.
