Re-Flashing an 06?

Is there a new flash for the 06 computers? If so what does it accomplish?

as far as emmision wise, no recalls i can think of. there are a few reflashes out there for certain fixes your truck would take, like the tsb to buzz the injectors.

The new flash will cause the injectors to run for 30 seconds after the engine is shut off to purge them of oil. It also has a few updates for false check engine lights. I don't think there were too many other changes for 2006.

Is 06 the same injector as prior years?

The question I have is does the 2006 have the same injectors as the prior model years that require the flash to bleed pressure off the injectors (or whatever it does) and if not, could they still benefit from having the new flash?

except for the 03s they are the same injector, and the buzzing is beneficial on any 6.0
