No, flashing the computer is actually altering the program within it (Dealer
does this but can be done by aftermarket companies).
How to reset your computer after a modification:
(1) Disconnect NEG Battery Terminal
(2) Turn Key to the START position and hold for 15 seconds
(3) Turn Key OFF and reconnect the NEG battery terminal
(4) Drive for about 35-50 miles for the computer to "re-learn"

Subject: DML: Re: Flash The Computer???
I bought my Dak from Don Miller Dodge(Madison,Wi)
Recently when i told them it was pinging(3.9 Magnum V6),they told me:
#1...Dont use Superamerica or Phillips 66 gasoline
#2...Use Citgo,Amoco,or Mobil(something bout less additives)
#3...I would need to come back in and have them "flash" the computer.
Ok,here in lies my question.When i put in the "Home Brew" Air Intake,and
follow the instrutions posted here,and disconnect the proper cables,is this
also considered "Flashing the Computer?"
How can a Dakota thats pinging be re-set?
Right now i am running 89/90 octane Citgo,with no apparent pinging.
