New flash and week EB

theicon2u · 08-07-2008, 10:46 AM

I had my truck flashed last week. I had the AU flash in sence new. The new flash made my exhaust brake very weak compared to before. Going down a big hill in town I would see 6psi boost with the brake on now there isnt any boost and it doesnt slow down like it used to going down that same hill. Anyone else see this??

what is the name of the new flash so i know not to get that one since i pull a 35ft trailer. the last flash i had done was the au when they did the G30 recall, that flash took some of the jerking away with the eb on in towhaul mode when it would down shift

Soot accumulation in the turbo. Even with EGR/Turbo cleanings I would still have my EB cut out at 1600 RPM (during regens I believed).

Did not go away until I took off the DPF and EGR

My EB cuts out between 1600 and about 1400 then it comes back on after I had the AX flash done. It sucks when you have a big load behind you. My last load of cattle didn't like it. I am going to take it back and see what they say. I don't understand why it started happening after the flash. Why would it let the E brake do that?????

I've posted before about this. I just had mine reflashed last month from AV to AX, so it's all pretty fresh in my head.

The EB in Tow/Haul mode with the AX flash feels about as strong as it did with the AV flash in regular mode. I live at the top of a small mountain, so I'm able to monitor my descent speed and EB efficiency on a daily basis.

The new flash is putting me at the bottom of the hill at 5-10 mph faster than the old flash using just the exhaust brake. Sucks, 'cause now I'm starting to coat/pit my new rims with brake dust. Didn't happen before.

I had the AU flash and this morning i had the dealership put the AX flash in, the eb might not be as strong but the truck seems to run a little better.
