recent flash

My truck went in last week for a check engine light and came back with a new EBP sensor and a flash. Since then my truck has no power, real noisey, and bad mileage???? They put in cabiration #4U7A-BGC. I have searched this site and the net & can not find this code? Any ideas????

I see yours is an 03 build...it can happen they do get a bit noisy and loose some power with the re-flash.....it is not a good thing.... but the way it is...

Tim, will a Predator bring my truck back with less noise and more power?

More power...YES...ALOT MORE POWER!

Less noise, no. Noise level is pretty much unchanged, Predator vs. stock.

Fuel economy, well, it is what it is. The Predator might help a smidge, but don't expect miracles. 1 mpg, 2 tops, if any at all.

NO tuner has anything thing to do with quieting the noise...that is gone forever...if you have been re-flashed

Why would the reflash make the engine noisier?

The reflash disables the feature that originally made it quiet....pilot injection.
