who's had the ecm reflash?recall?

[Summit]

who's had the recall for reprograming the ECM for uncontrolled accelleration and did it fix the problem?



how many with the check engine light that dont set a fualt code?

Version number

I took Lady Jaine in to the dealer to have the ECM flash done. The version I came in with was newer than the one the dealer had, so the mechanic thought they hadn't received the update yet. It's also possible I don't need it. I'll keep checking. I run on cruise for my road trips and don't want to have that surge problem. It sounds nasty.

I had it done on mine. It had 12000+ when they did it. Never did have any problems with the cruise through. They told me they are coming out with a re-flash for the check gages light-I think in April. Light has probably flashed 7-8 times since I have had it. Now my passenger window is starting to make a knocking noise when it goes down or up What next?

I haven't received a recall notice and I've not had the problem in 14k miles of interstate travel.

When was your truck built. I believe that it may involve early production.

I got mine yesterday. I bought my truck the first week in October. I'll be interested to see what they say when I bring it in.

Mine was built in November. Had them check for and do the recall yesterday when it was in for oil change. I never had any problems with it though.

The recall is for 19000 units and all the vehicles recalled will not have to be reprogrammed. Mine was one of the vehicles on the list, but did not need to be reprogrammed. I was up to date.

[Badunit]

I just got my recall notice. I haven't had the opportunity to try cruise for long periods so I haven't run into the problem.



Summit, just so I'm 100% clear, are you saying you have the cruise/idle problem and the flash didn't fix it? If so, I may just wait until the next version comes out.

not sure what the cruise prob is ?, mine works fine. its after i come to a stop and then take off agiain(usually in second gear) and apply a normal 5%? amount of throttle it acts like its got 90% throttle and sometimes goes right to red line.



not to mention that the throw out bearing sound terrible and needs replaced(tech agrees) and there is a very annoying vibration in the sterring wheel(tech agrees)



and... . NO i'm not going to wait for days,then weeks, months,years. went through that B. S. on my 01, ended up costing me k's



; note to moderator, need pi$$ed off face with eyes bulged out and steam from ears ready to leave someone a new tatoo

Mine does something similar but not nearly that bad. If I start in second gear and let it idle start it will take off pretty hard and then slow down. It comes nowhere near redline, though.



I had mine reflashed on Friday and haven't had issue since but I never had the issue to begin with.

Canadian Reflash

Has anyone in Canada had the reflash done? My dealer tells me that the software is not available yet. Since this is a safety issue I find it hard to believe that DC is so cavalier about this.

Had mine done this morning. I didn't have the surge after cruise or whatever they were calling it, but it seems like it might be a little different when I shift. It used to hang or even rev a bit between 2nd and 3rd shift. Idle startup seems a bit better maybe too. It feels like an overactive governor sensing a slight load and over compensating.



My driveway is a steep hill, and I always have to stop and wait for the door opener mad: ) just outside. When I get up close, and push in the clutch, it revs up because of the load it had on it. It's like it's reacting too long or too late, and not getting the feedback to calm itself down so it overshoots.



I wish it were just a spring adjustment that Piers or somebody could help me with. With the 2 trucks in the driveway, I sometimes dream of my (really HO) 12 valve 3rd gen, and a 94 "HO" common rail with a FOR SALE sign on it.





I took my 4 year old son with me. He sat in cars, learned about use of vending machines, enjoyed the entertainment pack the dealer gave him, (coloring book, crayons, puzzle, etc) and played hide and seek with me in the write up area. We even went into the service area and watched the proccess. When the technician was done, (about 2 hours later) he handed me the keys and we drove off. We sat at the airport watching planes take off and land, got something to eat, then drove downtown, found a parking spot, and went shopping.



My cell phone rang, it was the dealership. "Your truck is done" After a moment of confusion, I said "I know, I've been in it for for an hour or more. Thanks"
