What does getting the truck "flashed" mean?

Hadn't thought of it, but you may be very correct. He may have more than one problem going on and both oil related. Good catch.

Like I said earlier I had the same exact thing going on in my '04 Excursion. So I took it to the dealer yesterday and had them do a flash update and now it runs like a champ even when cold. Do you have a heat inductive flash update? If not I'd try this first, only $104 at my dealer.

Same exact starting/no-power issue with my '06 F250. Threw in a bottle of Hot Shot's Secret when I got the oil changed, got the newest flash update (only about $85 at my dealer)... now it runs and starts great. Start her up, and I can take off in a matter of seconds, not the 5 minutes it was taking beforehand. It runs better now in cold weather than it was in warm weather over the summer.
