I don't much about the particulars of the strategy, but it was in my 05 Ex and I did not care for it. Mushy soft shifting, poor mileage and not much power.
I changed to a 04 F350 ECM(TBS5) and wow what a difference. The only thing the Ex didn’t like was the lack of PATS communication, so the theft light flashes for a few minutes after each start. But I don't care, to me it runs and shifts so much better.
Perhaps Bill will see this and tell you if you have a odd ball program. My Ex with that program did not like FICM tuning. For what ever that’s worth. Its should be the equivalent of the VXCF7 the 05-07 trucks had with the flash that came after the IH flash. Do your injectors ramp up for start up(start buzzing slowly then start to speed up)?
What year is your EX 04 or 05?
