That update to the PCM could be applied without consulting you if you took your vehicle in for service, I bet. Another good reason to return your tune to stock before taking the truck in.

Bill, do you know if this reflash would require a rebuild of the custom tune files?

If you were already on this flash, then you wouldn't need a rebuild. Of course if you had an earlier flash then you'd be looking at getting the files redone.

Sorry Bill - I wasn't clear was I? (So what's new)? :o I MEANT to say that if the dealer flash was performed AFTER you'd received your custom tunes, they'd have to be rebuilt - and that's what you just confirmed.

So glad I seen this........now I can finally tell my dealer to get this fixed. Unfortunately I guess I will have to get Bill to rebuild my tunes!
BTW - glad the forum is up and running!

That's good to hear, Chris. I wonder how often we just "live" with crappy performance, thinking "It's just the nature of the beast", when there is a fix hidden out there if we just knew to ask for it?

agreed Jack!......sad part is my own dealer fed me a line of **** and tried to convince me there was nothing wrong with the truck. Like you said......nature of the best.
But I manage a company fleet with 43 Ford trucks in it.........I know how they drive!
I must say........I enjoyed making them eat some humble pie when I showed them a TSB that described my problem and a fix for it

.....I handed a copy of the TSB to the service advisor and even made him read it out loud to me before I then said to him "NOW FIX IT"
