U05 and U61 updates - better MPG?

[osprey92]

I had my truck (17 Tradesman Crew Cab 4x4, stock) updated to address the U61 safety recall and at the same time addresses U05. U05 updates the following modules: PCM, TCM, IPC and RFH; U61 PCM only. The truck drives and shifts smoother, but oddly, the MPG seems to have increased 3 MPG according to IPC over 100 miles. Anyone else have this happen? If it is accurate, I'm not complaining. I just want reassurance the range and fuel consumption is being relayed correctly post-flashing.

Maybe the ecu flash cleared out saved values and now it's readapting to your normal driving style?

My mpg has not improved, but has shifted harsher (when cold).

Excellent point. I'll be manually checking the range and MPG for a few tanks.

I didn't have my truck long enough to notice a before and after of the recall fix at the dealer. Had it a week prior to them doing the fix.

They done mine before I bought it home so I don't know either.... Joe B I noticed in your sig that you have a 5" stubby antennaX I have a question does it still pick up your sat stations and how does it do overall on your regular stations? Appreciate in advanced I hate the factory one.

I definitely noticed better acceleration and improved, more solid, shifting, but sadly, haven't seen any MPG improvements, but that might just be due to better acceleration.

I sent you a PM, not trying to hijack this thread and distract from the OP question.
