I had a check engine light about a month ago and they didn't know what to do, so I had to drive it 180mi to the dealer I bought it from, and it took about 5hrs before they figured out it needed the most current download. But when it wouldn't take, that's when they finally discovered it didn't have the first flash that was supposed to be done before they sold it to me. Apparently, if it doesn't have the original flash done, any updated flashes that get put out won't download into the computer. It wasn't any big deal, it's just that they are way behind on training these guys to work on these new trucks!!! Other than that, though, I have not had any problems with my truck and I've put 19,000mi on it since June.

There is a downloader program that must be downloaded to the computer first before they can download any updates.

what is this flash from the dealer that everyone is talking about ?

I spoke to my salesman at Dave Smith concerning how the '07.5's have been working out for them. He stressed how important the recent flash is to these trucks. He's sold fifty with one being a dud. Everybody seems to love the new auto and exhaust brake. Documentation is imperative.
