Well I got my truck back from Ford yesterday ,they reflashed my truck with the new flash and what a difference ! Truck starts great and runs so much better ,I would advise anyone that is having these issues to get it done almost like a new truck.

Lol... I know but still. People tend to sway towards the tool even when it's the trucks inital calibration causing the issues. The factory calibrations are rarely perfect hence why they update them so often.

Ya I hear you , but what confuses the hell out of me is why did start good for 3 years and suddenly now it won't? But the reflash fixed it so I guess that part really doesn't matter .

So can I just plug in my programmer and download the original ? The programmer has been returned to factory ,or do I need to program it and then copy the original ? Or what do I do ?
