i took a picture here of this sticker on my hood , dont know what it is, im hoping it isnt a death flash, becasue it does say reproggrammed pcm.

 

dammit. can't post

 

Probably yes if it had been done that recently.

 

yeah i dunno what it is it was on there when i bought her :/

 

i read your sticker as 21-20-99.
released 11/29/99, dealing with AT shifting, in particular to snowplow type frequent shifting.

i may be wrong, but i think these two were the death flash that reduced the timing advance.

so if your last flash was 1999, you might be ok.

But the date on the sticker says 11/30/04

 

Seems strange they wouldn't have just flashed it with the newest version

 

I thought that all flashes after the 01 included the pulled timing part of the program, as a preventative customer return deal. Maybe Parts/Service would know more.

 

Not to hijack the thread, but if you send your truck into the dealer for work done, would they reflash your pcm without telling you? Feels like some of my power is gone.

 

ahh. i missed the date. welcome to death-ville.
