Yes, I have one of those tags with 3 different flashes and dates on it. O
know exactly what you are talking about. Funny thing is I went to several
differnt dealerships and they are not exactly sure what they do. The service
writers and managers have told me that they are given instructions as to
what they fix but not how they do it. Basically This flash fixes problems
with pinging and/ or rough idle on a 4.7 engine dated after ?/??/?? and
supersides all other flashes issued before it. I have even seen the bulletin
for it. Kinda scary that's all they get.
