Is there an update out yet to fill the diesel tank on the baby Powerstroke for less than $110.00?

I heard you can add bricks inside the tank to reduce the volume...Sorry, had to say it. Where I am, to fill my tank with 87, when bone dry, it is $229.70. So will trade you...

...... when FDRS says Updating database that is what is it doing for that module.

Yeah, I've seen it do this everytime I finish up and get ready to disconnect or shut FDRS off before unplugging.

So if I have changed a bit using FORSCAN in the APIM to add a 'soft' button to a menu for the frunk release...and then I connect back up with FDRS... is there a way to do something like select the APIM and some tool like the Sync Connectivity check (which wouldn't really change anything) that would cause this bit change to get populated to the cloud during the database update when it's done?

I'm trying to force this change to populate to my asbuilt in the cloud.

The reason I ask is that another Mach-E owner and I have been comparing notes. After the GWM/APIM thing this past weekend (we both have '21 Job 1 cars) the frunk soft button on his was still there after the update. But mine was gone. When I checked the cloud asbuilts for both our cars, his had the correct value for the soft button but mine didn't. So I figured it must be this self-reporting process that updated the cloud with the FORSCAN change he had made previously (as most of us had done), but in his case it stuck and in my case it didn't.

So if I can trigger this database update somehow...I'm hoping that would populate the cloud data with the desirable change.

Have you made any Forscan changes to the BCM? Has the Mach E owner?

Well all of us got a BCM and GFM update about a week ago that enabled the frunk release function. So now we can open the frunk using the door keypad, and if we manually add back (it used to be there but didn't work) the frunk button to the Access menu in Sync then we can do that as well.

We're just enabling something that Ford will eventually give back to us (the '22 cars already have this ability).

I've made the change in FORSCAN...the problem is how to force this database update to make it stick.

I understood fine. I was trying to get clarity on something but never mind you can follow this or not.


There isnt a way to force it. Truck self reports eventually.

I would suggest you change it back to factory and run the Config in fdrs.

Just got noticed FDRS is now at version 33.5.1

With the help of Jesse, my friends at the dealership successfully force updated my '21 job-1 Limited to gain blue cruise and everything else.

@Jesse-Infotainment gave me a specific order of updates to do and the tech followed them to a T.

The tech said that was the fastest he's ever successfully updated any of the newer vehicles and applauded Jesse's info.

Now that my Mongoose adapter showed up today as well I'll still get it all set up and tinker with it.

Thanks again Jesse.

Could you PM me that info? My dealer is being worthless. I don't think they have update anything honestly.

Sorry, I just assumed there was a ‘general’ process, like BCM - then APM - etc

It’s better if I see where you are at and what needs to be done every situation is a bit different and at a different spot.

Thank you so much! You and everyone here help everyone out so much I didn’t want to bother anyone with my update woes.

You have 10 updates as of now. You do not have BlueCrusie. So They need to start with the Gateway, IPC, IPMA.
