Jeff,
If they did an update, there should be a tag either by the PCM, on the
PCM, or somewhere in the engine compartment with the words "Authorized
Software Update" on it. This will have the part number and info needed
to track the "flash update"...and what they did.
There's more than one for the '01+ models.

Subject: Re: DML: Poor Mileage
Let me ask you this.... If I only was there to have some trim on the
dash fixed and they flashed my computer due to a recall (never found one
listed but i'm no expert) what could they have messed up? I am just
trying to get to the bottom of this and see what is wrong. I mean I
mayber did jump the gun but I didn;t go yelling and screaming throgh the
dealership ( i know better you get more done by being professional) and
I never threatened then in any way. I don;t feel it's right the way they
handled it. If they did it fine, but at least look into the problem
instead of starting a big blow off job. Enough of the personal side now
for the technical side. What do you think they could have done? Not
expecting you to have answers but if you work in that part of the dealer
you may have an idea form the 4.7 in the cheerokes.
