ok this is a rookie question but wht is the death flash cause i have never heard of it till i saw the one post on here. i searched it but i still don't know wht it is.

 

It causes a horrible death to your truck, get rid of it now before it's too late!!!

 

ok how do i know if i have it

 

If you look all the way back on the passenger's side of the engine bay, there is the PCM, you can tell by the three large sets of wires going into a metal box with a black plastic cover. On the metal part, there might be a sticker on it that says "Authorized software update," with a date on it. If you have that sticker, you have the death flash.

 

oooo sounds funny the death flash from an authorized software update obw it was your theard that got me wondering about it thax

 

They may have authorized the demise of your truck...you'll never know when until you get rid of it!

 

or on your radiator support there will be a similar sticker, i assume that you know about our leaky plenums? the death flash was a reprogram that took out a few degrees of timing so that the truck wouldnt ping when the plenum was shot instead of fixing the plenum.....if you have it you have about 3 options
1- do the cps mod (search for it)
2- get a tuner
3- find a stock pcm without it

 

I cannot tell a lie. I lol'd.

 

what are the symptoms of the death flash? cause my pcm has been missed with. its got the tag!!

 

ypu could also get a MP PCM
