Computer updates

How much did it cost you guys to have all the updates put on your truck? A dealership here in Colorado just quoted me for 100 dollars to have all the updates done. I thought that they would install them for free.

Is your truck still uder warranty?? If under 3yr/36ooo miles yes it should be no charge but you will need to have a specific complaint to have them do it. Like "poor cabin heat and white smoke on start up" would be one that a flash is out there for, if out of the 3/36 warranty my understanding is it is up to the individual dealers as to whether they charge or not. Your 04.5 also has a 7/70 but there they can justify the $100 deductable using that as a basis. If you know any of the mechanics/techs go around to the bay door and ask one if he can\will do the updates and offer him a $20 and see if he will. I got my high idle done that way and he wouldn't even take the $20 but gladly did the update on my 04.5.

Just some thoughts to try and save you some money.
