Question on reflash

I have had this truck for about 2 months and was wondering if I should take it in to get a reflash. I don't believe that it has ever had one but do not know for sure. There are not any stickers under the hood to indicate that it has.

I am getting about 18 mpg had calc and the overhead is telling me I am getting about 26 mpg.

I understand that more than one reflash has come out since my truck was new, so does the latest include all previous or do you have to request a specific reflash?

I believe once the truck is reflashed you get all the new updated info not just one specified. There is no current update for the overhead console mpg calibration

By the way, the overhead display is a LIAR! Mine consistently reads 4-6mpg higher than I actually get.

if you're happy with the way the truck is running, i wouldn't get a re-flash.
