Is the equivalent of PU1010 available in FDRS? This was posted to the NHTSA on 11/30/22, and I updated my truck 9/16. I never hooked it up to FDRS again until last Sunday, and I didn't have a PCM update available. Only the APIM and CMR, and then of course the TCU update after I did the APIM.
There is no clear answer to your question. The reason your truck is not up to date is because Ford's OTA process is garbage, However, if you have a Mongoose, there is nothing to worry about as you do not need to depend on their broken process to get your truck up to date.
Your truck got an APIM update in January and 2.6.0 was sent to you on 2/15 successfully, and then for some reason it was sent to you again the next day which it failed since your truck already had the update. So your truck has gotten some love lately. If you wait, you will eventually get another update sent, but it will be a while before you are fully up to date if you depend on the OTAs.
If your primary concern is the PCM and transmission performance, and you really aren’t too concerned about other modules, go back to your dealer and tell them there is a TSB for your issue and the remedy is to reprogram the PCM. If the dealer can tie your complaint to the software for a specific module, they are much more likely to do the work because they can bill the update as a repair under warranty. There are a lot of TSBs that call for a PCM update, but this sounds like your issue. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2022/MC-10214124-0001.pdf
3.5.3 was sent to you on 1/26, but the OTA trigger timed out two weeks later before it was able to download the files. There is nothing you did wrong or could have done differently. This has happened to countless trucks recently with the current rollout of 3.5.3 and 3.5.3.2.
Have you updated your IPC since you bought it? If so, then it’s likely that the update added additional lines of code and no backups made prior to the update—even the original from the factory—will load. There will always be a mismatch between the as-builts before the update and those after. It’s probably why your most recent backups work fine, if you made them after you last updated the IPC.
I’m in the same boat as Eased (my truck is on 3.5.2….waiting…waiting). Just wondering, what features would come with 3.5.3 & 3.5.3.2
3.5.3.2 is for 2022 trucks, but they're one and the same as far as what you get with it. This update gives you full screen carplay/android auto capability. 3.5.4 gives you dual phone connectivity.
