i havent had any of the flashes done yet on my 06', although i was considering getting the "buzz flash", but it seems that everytime they come out with a new flash, they seem to soon come out with a newer one and a better one? wtf? hey im all for bettering our trucks but whats the deal with all the changes?it seems like we should all just keep waiting unless we are having problems related to the new flashes, i live in new hampshire and its probably close to zero right now, i run 5-40 syn and powerservice and have nothing more than a stumble for a few seconds, then my psd is purring like a kitten!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As you say, nobody will know anything definitive for a while so I'll stay tuned in for future details. Thanks again.

How much does a dealership charge for this reflash and how long does it take them to perform this? I have an '03 and is no longer under warranty (if that matters) Mine is terrible on cold starts for several minutes. I put a high idle switch on mine to help it warm up faster and to prevent wetstacking but I cannot even engage the switch until it stops bucking and snorting.

So it doesn't require an overnight stay so that they can witness a cold start issue or check for other problems? Just curious... didn't know if they would require an entire diagnosic checkout before performing a reflash. Maybe I will give them a call tomorrow
