I'd really like my 09 flashed to be like the '10, but at least I have something.
I HOPE it works.

I'd love to know what ll this update gives, my 09 have the "fuel Saver" light, but I want the real time graph and the tire pressure by wheel updates. Sux, I had a 2010 for a driver while my 09 was trucked in (i wanted a yellow one) and the dealership told me the 2010 and 2009's were identical. If anyone gets this done soon let us know!!

I know how you feel, I would be happy just to know when that thing is coming on, people say they can tell, if you have an aftermarket exhaust . My truck tells me if a tire is low.

the 2010's tell you which one is low. it doesn't seem like a big deal until you have a slight pressure difference (visually difficult to tell). and it will surely happen when its 18 degrees outside also...

Actually the dealer asked for my vin and then said okay bring it in we will see what we can do. She seemed fairly confident so my hopes are high, I was gonna wait till tomorrow and video my door show date built and then get in the truck and show the light working but I could not wait....impatient person plus I wanted to see if anyone else called their dealer?

I get an oil change every 3 months no matter mileage so they check the tires then and adjust them so they don't get a chance to go low unless a pesky nail or somthing finds its way in. I see what you mean mine just says that a tire is low or something it only happened once when i first got it. I wish someone else read this and called their dealer, I want to hear someone else say that their dealer said it works. I don't want my wife wasting her time there since she most often goes since I am paraplegic and I am a pain to get in and out.

No way, 2010's tell you which one is low now? I really wish I had that feature. I wonder if its something that can be flashed as well or if it requires a hardware upgrade... Anyone with any technical info on how we can make this work on the 09's please advise. Its annoying as hell to check every tire when the warning comes on...

Just talked to my dealer in small town Payson. They were not aware of it, what they pulled up on the computer was the things we already know, pre jan build 09 , no light. any way, they said they would check into it.

For those that have dealers who are aware of the update, would you please post the dealership name, town, state. This may help some of us in smaller towns to get our dealerships to respond.

Thanks in advance.
