Recall letter

[SUPERDUTYSPV]

I just got a letter in the mail from Ford:
Emissions Recall 05E15 Description: Update the software in the engine control modules, and replace the Exhaust Pressure (EP) sensor, and if affected, replace the EP electrical connector.

I thought you guys might want a heads up.

We also just got our notice. Thanks for the post though always good to have some reassurance.

[SUPERDUTYSPV]

Certainly/ I just thought I would give a heads up.
Harley, have you had any other recalls on your truck? I have had 2 or 3 others.

Just wondering .... has anyone noticed that fuel mileage actually went down after this recall work was done? I was getting around 16.5 before on my '05 F-350 4x4 crew cab ... now I get 15.5 every tank, no matter how I change my driving style!

What's up with this ... now with fuel around $2.75 here in Indy! Man ... I just can't wait to start pulling my 36' fifth wheel next month!

Oh ... by the way. I found this forum doing a search on the recall ... and look forward to being here often

Welcom webb .....just out of curiosity, how many miles do you have since having the recall done????.......Marc

Probably around 2000 or so. For not using my truck for work .. I drive alot (running the kids a long way to and from school and their mothers house). I bought it at the end of Feb. last year (2005) ... and I already have 35K on it.

Love the truck ... runs like a dream.

[mschn99]

give it a few thousand more miles....and drive it like you normally do. these trucks learn stratagy to get maximum performance and milage.......some can be 3 MPG less with the learned stratagy lost (disconnecting battery cables over an hour....reprograms...etc) and see if it comes back.........Marc

Welcome DL! Glad you found us and hope you enjoy the site.
You running stock or do you have any mods?

[DL-Webb]

All stock ... other then the recall, and very regular maintenance ... nothing's been touched. Can't afford it

And thanks for the welcome!

Although I preform about 5-6 of these recalls each day I havent heard any complaints of loss of fuel mileage. Several customers have actually recorded better fuel mileage. But just like Marc said, give it some time.
