Go to motorcraftservice.com and there is a place to download an Excel file (or search on-line) that you can use to determine the latest flash available for your truck based on the original PCM ID codes (catchword) on your PCM. There are instructions on the site
http://www.motorcraftservice.com/vdi...&menuIndex1=26
"Quick Guides"
"Latest Calibration Information"
Now if you have an older truck (or any other Ford vehicle for that matter) you need to know what has already been flashed or updated since you purchased.
This site will not tell you what the reason for the update is.
OTOH you can purchase a subscription for as little as $9.95 for 72 hours and read the TSB's to your heart's desire or a year for $100.
You should be able to find out if there are any TSB's regarding an update and you can search problems based on your VIN; plus you can read the Factory service manual. You will have access to all TSB's, not just the vehicle you pay the subscription for (you can check out the TSB's for a 95 Crown Vic); however access to the service manual will be just for the vehicle model you purchase same for.
Hope this helps.

There has been one recall flash for the flame thrower issue , and one TSB dated 7-17-3 which was for trucks with a built date before 7-30-07 which demenstrated certain problems.
This article supersedes TSB 07-16-2 to update the Action required. ISSUE:
Some 2008 F-Super Duty F-250-F-550 vehicles built before 7/30/2007 and equipped with the 6.4L engine may exhibit one or more of the following concerns:
ACTION:
Reprogram the PCM, Transmission Control Module (TCM), and IC (Reprogram the IC by selecting Module Reprogramming, IC) to the latest calibration using IDS release 50.7 patch 10. When reprogramming the PCM on automatic transmission equipped vehicles the TCM will also automatically be reprogrammed to the latest level. This new calibration is not included in the VCM 2007.7 DVD. Calibration files may also be obtained at www.motorcraft.com.
This is all that i have been informed of.

You can also look on your window sticker, it should say Job 1 or Job 2 "build identifier".
