Maybe I need to have my 08 F-150 reflashed too. Wonder if it would increase my mileage. Been getting 13-15 mpg lately. Original EPA rating was 14 city/19 highway. Since alot of mine is highway under 60 mpg with occasional red lights I should be getting at least 16. One thing I've considered is having the injectors cleaned, which haven't been done and it's got 129,000 on it.

I just had mine done today. Doing a road trip on Friday (running empty) but will let you know if I notice any difference.
I was prurdy sidewayz about this reflash but.. I think mine is better after it. Anything EPA driven... is shaky, to say the least IMO, but I think I'm seeing a bit of a MPG increase and a touch more Pep ?
Going on a 250 mile RT to the Coast with the 5r tomorrow, couple'a good 6% grades on the way... Not to concerned about the MPG's..as I am about power loss....
I'll post up any noticeable diff's too.

Same here Joe...this seems to have had an overall positive impact on mine since i've had the flash done. I'll be dragging around a 13k boat next week so i should have a pretty good idea of it responds to towing as well.

Had mine done last Saturday.
No noticeable driving difference.
But I did notice the gear numbers on the message center screen (123456) are gone!
Does anybody know how to get them back?

Okay.... 290 miles round trip, with the 10K lb. (ish) 5r in tow.. NO differences. If anything.. seems a bit more responsive in shifting (?). I use "M" pulling hills, when/if I up/down shifted.. it seems a bit more "positive" (?). All the power is still there.
This route has several long grades @ +/- 6%, I pulled them on CC, in 5th, @ about 60 MPH, at about 2400 RPMs.
For my 012 350, I'm putting this Re-flash... Ta' Bed. Still don't know exactly what all the Tech parts of the re-flash was... But "Life Is Still Good".
