Hi Tim
When new braking was turned on when you engaged tow/haul and worked perfect.
I got a recall to be reflashed for Ca. emissions {dec flash} after the flash braking is
activated by pushing on brake, so hard it is unsafe at times. Braking now {on a 1 to 10} is a 4 at its best. Trying for last 7-8 mos. to get Ford to return my truck to the way I bough it. I do have DSB papers. Can't get Ford factory rep. to even return my calls. I was gone to Ut. for 3 mos. so I feel Ford Has had time to do something.
I must be only one to have 1750 rpm. drone to return. Going to Dealer tomarrow.
Thanks Tim for doing a fine job!!
