I’ve gotten most all of the updates done except these final two. The TCU says it’s already installed but fails the final check and the PCM says it’s installed successfully but won’t disappear from the screen. Any thoughts on the TCU?

When it runs the checks for the TCU, the files that fail…are they on the USB?
Do any of them pass?
I’ll attach an image of what passed and what failed. But when I put the USB into the truck it says it’s already installed.

@PizzamanJon here is my two cents since you're new to FDRS and updating, stay away from BCM updates for now!!! Those can be a straight nightmare zone if you aren't prepared. First time I did mine a year ago, the previous update that didn't take decided to wake up or something in the truck halfway while doing the BCM update, whole truck went dark and no power. Tried to start BCM update a few times and no go, just let things sit and luckily a few minutes later everything started to come back around and everything updated successfully, but that was definitely some stressful few minutes.

It is common for some updates to install and not leave the list. It is a bug in FDRS. Checking FDRS another day it probably won't show up. If the PCM said it installed successfully don't worry about it being in the list.

Not sure your other issue, never encountered something saying it is already installed. The experts here would know more about how to handle that.

Can you try the canbus update option that doesn't use USB?

There is something wrong with the TCU manifest. Can you share the manifest file that’s on the USB? Those files are for the APIM. @PizzamanJon
@PizzamanJon i would reformat your drive again and just do the TCU update.

Before you go through it paste a copy of the files here and and also right click on the folder properties and let’s see the size of the update…if it’s small enough it may be worth doing over CAN.

You should only have these files. All the others are APIM files and thats why you are getting the "already installed" on your screen. I would delete all the files except the ones below but we need to see what your manifest file looks like. @PizzamanJon

Will some please refresh my memory about PTS?
If I remember I used software a year ago that checked on available updates without having to get a fdrs code.
I find that I need to force updates again.
