K01 Recall for 06-07 5.9l

Based on what some guys said about the recall scared me. I was eager to register my truck with a out of state family member.

So, DMV block my registration for not getting the recall done. So I finally took it in and got it done. After the recall I fired her up within 2 seconds in idle the engine cut off.

I marched back into the office and told them. The ''technician" came out and hooked up to the obd2 and scanned it. I was looking over his holders and the scanner said 'security key code', so that's what the tech told me what the problem was and said they had more work to do.

So back in the garage it goes. After 30 min the tech drove her out and said they re flashed it again and took care of the security key code that made her shut off the first time and I shouldn't have a problem.

Drove her home and there was NO difference what so ever. It was the same truck. There was no difference in the shift time, RPM when it shifts, or drop in MPG. It improved the MPG went up from 22.3 on the overhead to 24.7 traveling at 50mph @ 1500RPMs. City avg MPG used to be 12 MPG and now the AVG on the overhead is 15MPG. The only difference I saw was when I punch it there is less smoke. The truck appears to run cleaner and has more power, if feels like there is no wasted fuel. So far I like it.

So if you guys have the recall stop stressing like how I was. Cheers
