What does the new flash address in a manual car?

I have a 6 Speed P2 and Roush sent me a new flash for it. Most likely will have it done by the end of March.

Excellent question. We know it fixes the 6-7 shifts in the 10A. However, Gavin told me there were "other refinements." I have no idea what that really means. I think one poster said they addressed the fuel situation since there have been a number of customers who had a CEL for low fuel pressure.

P008A Low Fuel Pressure and P0420/P0430 Cat Inefficiency were some of the fixes.

Based on this info and my initial drive with the new cal, they have done a very good job. I don't know if I am imagining things or not but it just seemed like the engine ran a bit smoother throughout the rev range. It was smooth before so maybe no difference. The tech that did the flash commented on how smooth it was just revving it up a little while in park.

wow I need that. Was that in the last flash they released a few months ago or this new as in the last few weeks?

I was told it was addressed in the last update although I can't confirm that as I don't have my car yet.

I thought you picked it up already?

my girl just had her explorer sport in there. Guess Ford thought it was a good idea to install the water pump inside the engine on those ecoboosts. Around 100k miles they fail and if the engine overheats due to not having any water\antifreeze (no noticeable leak, all in the engine missing with oil) the engine fails. Of course the engine being full of a mixture of coolant\oil can cause it to fail. Cost her $2300 for a water pump, lol.

Damn that's an expensive water pump!

It was addressed in the flash released a few months ago. I don’t think they have another revised calibration since but you never know.

I asked and was told it just cleans up a few things. I did make it clears I have a 6-Speed. Nothing major or specific.

I received from Gavin in January and will have it flashed soon. Just took the car out this week as the Ice age appears over.

With all this EPA/CARB stuff going on lately, and there's a lot of it being talked about, I wonder if that's why the 2018 Jackhammer cars had the supercharger installed at the dealerships as opposed to the Roush factory?
Just a thought.

That was exactly why. Roush couldn’t get the CARB certification in time so it couldn’t be pre-titled on the car and had to be installed at the dealership.
