A "re-flash" is a new factory program for the truck's engine management computer. If you're not having any issues, there is no reason for a re-flash.

Perhaps you've heard of people getting a "chip" to re-program the truck's computer for performance enhancements. Diablo & Superchips are two of the more popular brands of programmers/chips. To get the performance gains, you have to run high-octane fuel.

i do have issues, like a weird start up, sometimes it fires right up and sometimes it takes a crank or two. had it to the dealer and told the service advisor what was going on.. he went out to the truck and it fired right up, i said yes but you let it sit for a while[1hour] and it might do it. his reply was to bring it back when the problem got more evident.i was angry by then so i left. still does it.. what should i do??
later,
lee
