I would not go reflashing back to stock unless you have verified battery is good...terrible idea. Check battery first.....or you will end up with half of the code loaded in the ecm or damage the ecm.

Ok the service van showed up and tried to jump the battery. Nothing. The battery meter on his tool showed full charge.
Ford call back and they towing the truck to the dealership in college station and I am getting a ride to drive from Dallas to pick me up and I have to come back tomorrow w my Tahoe and pick up the 5 suitcases in the bed of the truck.
Really fun way to spend sat night. Thanks ford.

The tuner won't even read the pcm. It gives an error msg.

Again, this is exactly what happened to me. I'll be curious to see what the issue was.

5 year, 60,000 mile roadside assistance. That would have been my first call.

You should have seen the hunk of crap tow truck roadside assistance sent to get my truck!
Either way it got the job done and got my truck to the dealership. Lucky for me they found the issue pretty quick and fixed it the first time....

This is the reason I don't modify a new vehicle until after the warranty. No reason to give a dealer an excuse to not cover something.
