I read through this thread and still can't tell if this calibration implements the following on the '03 and '04 engines. Anybody know for sure?

Cooling loss protection - Revised engine protection strategy when an engine over-temperature condition is present. Vehicles updated with this service calibration will display higher temperature gauge readings when high engine oil temperature (EOT) conditions or high engine coolant temperature (ECT) are encountered and may disable EGR operation to prevent possible EGR cooler damage.
• Oil cooler efficiency monitor - DTC P012F stored and wrench warning lamp illuminated when the oil coolers efficiency drops below a specified threshold for a given speed and vehicle load condition.
• Turbocharger vane sweep strategy - Performs a sweep of the turbocharger vanes and unison ring during stationary idle conditions. Vane sweep can occur once per hour to help reduce turbocharger sticking.
• FICM low voltage detection monitor - DTC P0560 stored and wrench warning lamp illuminated when PCM vehicle power (VPWR) parameter identifier (PIDS) is below 10.25V for 60 seconds or below 9V for 4 seconds.

AFAIK the calibration does nothing to the PCM as the processor isn't large enough to handle the extra "load". I believe it only changes the FICM flash to correct for the very aggressive inductive heating strategy that destroy's the FICM components.

Thanks, NPC, good to know. Can I conclude that since I never got the inductive heat flash, there's not much in this current calibration for my engine then (April '04 build)?
