Re-flash for better milege
I was at my local dealership talking to a senior advisor. I told him my 08 with the 6.4 was a great truck, but the milege wasn't that good. He told me ford is working very hard on a new flash to help out. He wasn't sure how soon it would be available. Just some info you guys.

I just got mine back from the dealer for an oil change and some little stuff. I mentioned the bad mileage and he said all was normal. He sent me a TSB regarding the poor mileage and regeneration. It pretty much stated what most of us already know. He did not say anything about a new flash or anything like that. I am hopeful but I think it just is what it is. Alot of power, real heavy (heavy duty) truck, and the emissions (DPF) are all killers. I think we just need to live with it.

my service writer said the same thing that Ford was working on a new flash to help with the MPG's not sure if the believe him or not. I have been doing business with him for over 10 years.. yet I'm taking it with a gain of salt... hope it's true.

There is none...FMC hides behind the old " these trucks are not rated for mpg, there's no way we can rate them, some people carry hvy loads in them" BS they new what the avg. was when they teseted them....

While at our dealership I asked around about a re flash for better MPG on th 6.4's and at this time there is none..however..the dieselguy at the dealership said that Ford has been working on such a re flash and in fact has one that works..however it does not meet the emmission standards so can not be implemented..yet.. They will get it r ight sooner or later....anyone have any input on that story????
