reflash seems to work!

[Elsbury]

Took my 06 in for a checkup today as my mileage was lousy. Talked with several dealers here in socal and nobody admitted to any tsb's. Finally spoke to service rep at Glen Thomas and he said there were several for my truck... just bring her by and hed have his tech plug her in. Man what a differerence... . she's shifting smoother and into high gear way quicker than before. Used to have to hit 2000 before a gear change, now if there is no load she shifts at 1200 to 1500. overhead hs never been over 13. 5 unless I drive 55 and then it shows only 15. 2. Was allready at 14. 5 running 65 down the freeway for a couple of miles and stayed above 13 around town. Oo. They did not give me any flack about my tru-flow intake. Roktech muffler or Kore suspenion kit either, course I'm not having any mechanical problems either. The dealer i bought my truck from just kept saying more miles, more miles. I was considering a triple dog to see if mileage would pick up but the flash seems to work.

Several? Do tell! Which dealers did you talk to? Not having much luck finding something close to me. Power Dodge Valencia was good to deal with, but their svc dept is a joke.

Halterman!

If yours is a newer 06 there might not be as many. I bought my truck in August of 05. Wanted an 05 4x4 with the freinds and family discount deal but none to be found. The dealer who sold me my 04 hemi said he just got 2 new 06's in and sold me one. Mine was starting hard in cold weather, Overhead was never right (had to keep resetting it to get it to change) had jerky shifting and the mileage totally sucked. Drove her to work today which is a 100 mile round trip and my fuel guage showed it took just over 1/8 tank.

At one point the overhead said 19. 2 traveling 68 mph. I know you cant trust the overheads but this overhead has rarely been over 15 and thats driving at 55 mph. Glen Thomas Dodge in Long Beach is where I took mine for the reflash. I've heard Fullerton Dodge is great with the Cummins, they just couldn't fit me in with my schedule. Also I'm not getting the soot out the tailpipe like I had before the flash. It drove me nuts to wash the truck, drive ten miles and the bumper would be black at the exhaust pipe. Now all I'm seein is the heat wave.

My MPG computer reading is 2 to 2. 5 miles less than hand calculated. I am sure my math is right so I will go have it reflashed.
