And if you're paying the bill yourself, just tell them that you want it done, I imagine that they would (or atleast should) charge you less than your deductable.
nope, she has 112,000 on the clock. BUT I did take it in a few weeks ago for the recall. At that time i asked if they will do the flash with the injector cycling, he came back and said that I was runing the latest he had and my injectors do not cycle on shutdown. So if i could go back with a CD number or something I can get it done for free.
I did change the oil to 5-40 rotella today. i will so if that helps.

Then they must not have the correct software loaded on to their IDS. Either that, or it was done incorrectly, because I have done several 06E17 recalls, and when done properly, they will update the FICM to the latest calibration.

06E17 flash
I had the 06E17 flash done in March '06 when the truck was still under warranty. When I was in Maine over the hollidays, the truck would idle like crap and smoked untill it warmed up. Since I had the flash done in March it didn't have the cycle of the injectors in it. When I call my friendly Ford dealer and described the cold start problem he said I should have the revised flash done and that would solve the problem. BUT he said since I'am out of warranty, I will have to pay for the revised flash. I have the extended warranty and still would be responsible for the 1 hour labor to do the flash. Is this correct or are they just looking for a little extra money?

So you'll know, there is a new warranty action notice issued today. It has been found that 90% of problems caused by "stiction" can be repaired by reprogramming to the new flash. If a dealer replaces injectors without flashing first, the cost can be charged back to the dealer (can exceed $1500). There might be a lot more dealers flashing now!
