New Recall 05E15
Just got my letter yesterday, new recall, wanna flash my ECU and replace my EGP Sensor "AGAIN", and possibly the connector.
I had one fail on vacation this summer, MIL was on and ran bad at idle.
Anyone have any knowledge of the flash part though?
I'm kinda inclined to get it done due to my poor mileage since day one, hoping it may help.
Box stock 04 SBCC 6.0 Auto, about 13k on it, get 13 most of the time, (sucks), been reading alot about Acetone lately for mileage.

The letter says " Your engine may be releasing air pollutants which exceeds California standards ............These standards and regulations also apply in Massachusetts , Maine , New York , and Vermont " .
So does it mean anything if you don't live in one of these States ? ? ?
Do I need to have this recall done...should I have this done ???
Opinions are welcome
.
TIA

.IMPORTANT NOTE:
If you had the recall 05E15 performed before it was temporarily suspended, you will receive a letter from Ford to return for another PCM recalibration. The reason the recall was suspended was due to an error in the calibration.

Mine doesn't have any thing to say about different states either. The problem I have with it is my truck is running good right now and am not sure I want to trust the new programing. Would like to hear from some one who has had it done. I am getting 20+ highway and 17.4 all around so don't want to mess that up. It has been steadily improving over the last 10K miles.

Received my letter Thursday and the dealer called me to see if I had it and wanted to come in on Friday. So, had it done Friday and now will see if it makes any difference. My mpg has been really good as the mileage goes up; 19 around here and that is with having an occassional heavy foot - oops is what I say to may wife.
