no letter for me...i am not going to do it anyway. Must be some select ones that get.

No letter here either but I dont want it either too much of a hassel with the mini maxx and no dpf. Would just give dealer a chance to make note of changes to the truck.
|
This might be a dumb question but what's the min max? Does this have something to do with the IH maxx engine that is similar to the 6.4

In particular, I take my truck off road into fields regularly and not having a continuous regen message is a serious fire hazard driving / parking over dry grass. On a couple occasions the truck has been in regen as I approached the field so I took a small detour to allow it to complete and temperatures to return to normal before I drove in the field. Certainly there has been enough negative commentary on these forums about the later firmware not giving continuous regen notification. I find it distrubing the Ford has apparently not paid attention to those complaints. |
Just had my update done this morning. Had not received a letter yet, but I figured I most likely would receive the letter (which service verified by my VIN#), so hopefully there is some realized mileage or other benefit besides putting the truck into limp mode prematurely.

A couple of things I've noticed since they reflashed mine a week or so ago...I think.
It seems to shift smoother, especially in TOW/HAUL. That is noticeably different. The other is that I seem to be getting a better mileage, hand calculated, that what the LOM is indicating. (That I am not that sure of as I haven't been on any extended runs of late). For instance I topped off the tank yesterday with about 10 gallons of liquid gold. The LOM indicated 15.8 MPG and I hand calc'd 16.5. Interesting. That was an interesting attachment that got posted on here with the info on this PCM recalibration. It was just done for me at a service interval I had. I had no say in it at all. I never saw that letter that was attached. Its good to know that it is a PCM retraining type of thing. that way I can keep my wife out of it for awhile so she doesn't do her 24 hours at Lemans style of vehicle ops before I get a chance to train it! :-jammin |
I just got my letter on the weekend. Now just have to find a day I can find to take it in.
I get the feeling they're doing this primarily to minimize their warranty costs. I doubt they'd ever say 'improved mpgs' in the flash, otherwise, everyone and his distant relatives will be lining up to get it. :-) I think we might have started getting a non-winter blend of fuel. My mpgs seem to be better in the past few weeks here in San Jose... so let's see how this goes... |
my letter came today.
