05E16 yes or no
I have been resding lots of posts on the 05E16 code and would like to hear some more updated reports before I take my truck in to get it done. The only reason for taking it in is that it isn't getting the fuel milage that it should. I THINK that I currently have 05E15.

I've had this code since May of this year. I haven't noticed any changes either good or bad. It was pretty neutral from a performance and mpg perspective for me. I don't think it would hurt to get it.

I just had some driveshaft work done on the '05 PSD and while they had it in the shop there was an upgrade they installed. It makes the injectors cycle for approx. 15 seconds after key is off. Weird but seems OK.

Just got 05E16 done.
I mentioned the poor milage and got a very unexpected answer. "What do you expect it to get?" I was also informed that hand calculated milage wasn't accurate. The computer they use is more accurate. It took everything i had not to ask if their computer was as accurate as the feul milage display lie-o-meter.

If my truck was running right and all you would acomplish is 1-2 miles to the gallon better I would not let Ford touch it. Seem foolish to mess with a good thing. There will always be a latest and greatest reflash it seems. Unless the engineers just give up on the 6.0L when the new ones hits the road.
