Default darn death flash

I was surprised to learn today (I finally looked) that my truck has had the dreaded "death flash". The reason I'm surprised is because I bought the truck new and had never taken it into the dealer for anything. Apparently they flashed it before it was sold!

Everytime I think someone could benefit from that link, I have to search for it since I'm not bright enough to save it somewhere myself. Now at least I'll know where it is.


EDIT: Actually, I finally put it in my favourites last night because I was getting tired of having to look it up all the time. Now I guess I can take it out of my favourites. That was a whole 10 hours.

All I saw in that link related to the mod was that it is NOT a simple mod and that they do NOT recommend. SEEMS simple enough. What could I expect? Better gas mileage? More HP? Pinging?
