Interesting flash side effect

Hey guys. Before the flash update, when I used the +/- on the shifter stalk, the additional 1-6 gear display would only stay on until I turned the truck off. It would not come back on with the next startup until I activated it with the +/- again (while in D).

After the flash update, once activated, it will not go back off until I manually deactivate it. It goes off as soon as I shift into P and turn the ignition off but it comes right back on again as soon as I start the truck and shift into D. Clear as mud? As far as I know, there's nothing wrong with that and I acutally kind of like it as I like to watch the truck run through the gears. Occasionally I'll wonder which gear it's in and a quick look down satisfies the curiosity without having to activate the feature after each startup.
I have no proof that this was caused by the flash except for the before and after difference. Anybody else's do this?

Yep, that was one of the additional things that the flash did. Nice in my opinion.

Yep it seems normal. The flash is what did it. Noticed the same.
