In my case, neither truck sounded any different. The idle in both is still around 700-750. We are both running Winter Diesel #2.
Neither "white smokes" at all.
Your build date is less than a month before mine. Same rear end, but my drive train is box-stock, except for the wheels.

Anyone getting a delayed warmup with the TSB? Service manager told me that it would take the vehicle 3 times longer to warm up if i got the TSB.
Anyone experience this?

I have no regrets and give this TSB a Big Thumbs-Up.

So what does one need to tell the dealer to get the TSB?

Here is a link to the TSB via K. Lengers website (thanks Ken!), check it to ensure your motor falls with-in the serial # and engine build dates. The TSB is for white smoke at start-up, improvement for poor fuel economy and OTC recalibration.

The reflash really worked for my truck. The pinging went away and fuel econ went up. Hope you get it ironed out.

pinging gone away after TSB?

If so, has anyone else who had this TSB performed and had the pinging/knocking noise noticed its absence after the TSB?
Thanks in advance.

From the TSB 18-004-04, which is incorporated into TSB 18-037-04 (http://dodgeram.info/tsb/2004/18-004-04.htm)
"...Once enabled the feature operates as follows:
With the vehicle stationary and the gearshift lever in Park or Neutral, press the speed control “ON/OFF” switch to the “ON” position.
Press the “SET” switch. The engine speed will automatically increase to 1100 rpm.
The engine speed may be increased up to a maximum of 1500 rpm by pressing and holding the “ACCEL” switch.
The engine speed can be lowered down to 1100 rpm by pressing and holding the “COAST” switch ."...
So try this procedure.
