Idle Problems With My 2004 6.0 L
I Have Had A Rough Idle Problem With The 2004 6.0l In My F350 . When You Put It In Reverse To Back Out Of The Garage In The Mornings It Would Start To Surge Or Run Rough. A Couple Of Times While Setting In Traffic It Started Doing The Same While In Drive . I Took It To The Dealer And Told Them The Problem . They Called Awhile Later And Said They Had To Reprogram The Idle And Ask If It Was Ok . I Said Yes . When I Got The Truck Back It Seemed Very Loud And Didn't Idle Down Like Before ( Like How It Ran Real Quite Until You Touched The Throttle ) And You Had To Hold Down On The Brake Harder To Keep It From Idling Away A 20mph. I Told The Dealer I Did Not Like The New Setting And Wanted The Old One Back And I Didn't Even Care If It Ran Rough Sometimes . They Called Back And Said It Couldn't Be Put Back . Any Help ? Or Has Anyone Else Had Trouble Like This ?
Thanks,

It is when they update the software for your trucks computer(s). But looking over my notes, I don't see a recent update for the 04. I would keep notes on what transpired and what you are experiencing. Talk to your service advisior, diesel tech and service manager. See what they have to say.

With a 11/2003 build date, your truck would have the 04 motor, and the latest flash was 01/3/04, B29.6, RC1. Click on the following link to be taken to a list of what the flash did.

Also it took away pilot injection, that was enabled on a few 04's that were built Nov-Jan. This would increase the noise slightly at idle.
Hope this helps
