I believe the latest one is TSB 09-24-3, and I would guess your dealer should be able to tell you which you have.

Thanks , I'm dropping it off tomorrow to have it hooked up and checked out,..long crank to start cold and a bit of blueish smoke, and hopefully they will give me the latest flash,but other than that it runs great, I want it allready for camping season.
I'll ask about the Flashes,
Thanks, Rich

Warning...I think I just got burned today...the dealer didn't know if their software was up-to-date. Definately ask the Service Advisor to perform TSB 09-24-3, and use only IDS release 63.13 or higher or 64.01 or higher. Your new strategy code should be VXCF9.

I'm taking my 03 in for this on wednesday, I have not had any flashes done since 04 so my question is... are the updates from all previous codes included in this new flash, or do I need to do them in order?

You just need the newest one, it overwrites everything previously programmed.

If your engine is still under warranty is this something that they'll do for free?

I believe there is the $100 deductible unless its emissions work.

I would ask about the price without it being warrenty work. I was quoted $85 to get it done. But I didn't have to pay that, I got the friend discount.

I was quoted $80 at one dealership, $120 at the other. Decided not to have it done since switching to synthetic oil helped my cold starts.

Is there any benifits to the newest flash? Or is it just more bad mileage!

I just picked up my truck from the dealer tonite and they told me I needed a new Fuel injection timing sensor, which they replaced under warranty and they updated the calibrations to the latest for my truck in sig. which was 11/2/09...tsb 09-22-16, under warranty.They said it was very similiar to tsb 09-24-3 everyone's talking about.

anyone know what tsb 09-22-16 contains for my "06''
and what does the injection timing sensor do ? (technically)

thanks
rich

fuel milage has stayed the same on gone up for most. I dont know what you think is bad though the truck will always get better then the window sticker stated.

lots of new stuff in the last flash. I posted the tsb for it just use the search function.
