You are doing the right thing by taking it back.

They have a re-flash already. I was hoping that they learned from the 6.0. I want to purchase the new 6.4 in the future, hopefully they work out all of the kinks. This is one reason why I did not purchase the 6.0 back in 2004 and instead purchased the V-10. One thing that still concens me is the small variable venturi turbo. I pissed they still use this in the new motor. What is going to stop this one from having the same problems as the one on the 6.0.

If you're a good tech, you listen intently, and realize that there are folks that like to "stir the turd, just to make it stink".
