Do you have a tuner installed? If not, then I would recommend the latest flash (no need to post the number). I would get other folks opinions though because this has been an issue with some controversy.
If you do have a tuner, then I decline to comment. Some people w/ tuners have complicated their problems w/ a re-flash (although they usually relate to not taking the program back to stock before the reflash).

I think this is the latest flash that came out. Don't hold me to it though!

well i guess i am digging up a old thread but i looked at the recall sticker tonight on my truck and wrote down the flash #. It is ford reflash #3u7a-12a650-ftg. it was done on 3/15/2006. also another question my trucks build date is 08/03 is this considered a late 2003 or early 2004 model. the engines build date is like april or june 2003.

I don't mean to hijack but I am interested in this as well. I have an '06 that is not tuned and has never been reflashed. What are the pros & cons? I heard some of the flashes were hard on FICM's (inductive heating or something like that). Should I persue this latest flash or leave well enough alone? (i have zero problems so far). I do like the idea of the wrench light for temp. spreads and the exercising of the turbo but I think I exerecise that enough already LOL!! What do ya'll think? Thanks in advance!!!
