rough idle @ startup
now that it's a little cooler in the mornings i've noticed that the truck is spitting & sputtering a little a rough idle and a lot of smoke at start up also a real lack of power and a harsh shift into gears. once i drive about a 1/2 mile everything is fine since i'm new to fords i'm looking for suggestions

sounds a little worse than my experience, but i had two injectors on their way out. same symptoms. take it in and they can determine what injector or injectors are causing the miss, they will probably aslo introduce the flash to inductive heating to help eliminate this problem in the future

I took mine to the dealer today to have some work done and they asked me if I have experienced any of the symptoms you mentioned. And I have noticed since it got colder it sounds and shifts rough. They said that I need the new flash done. I currently have the buzz flash. I thought that the newest flash and the buzz flash do the same thing just in a different way.

yes ,it is 5yr 100kmi engine warranty but you will be responsible for the deductible which is $100 ,
mind you any aftermarket parts could potentially void the warranty. depending on the dealer. some will try to void warranty work for modified exhaust systems i.e removed cat

Yes it just unplugs. If you get on the Banks website there is installation instructions. The only thing left will be the egt sensor, if installed.

unless you use a metal ban/strap to cover the hole.
