ECU module programming guide using FDRS

[fordtruckman2003]

Good TV show to binge would work too. March basketball season would be good time to update if you are a fan. Took me two days to get updated but I was far behind due to the IPC on my truck refusing to update itself. I didn't have the tenths of a mile on odometer when I bought truck last year.

Morning guys, I see this is a very long standing thread and I'm just jumping in. I have performed all of the SW Module Updates but I have a couple of CMDTCs and Programable Features. I have a 2023 Raptor. Should I be doing anything else before my license expires?

Get the Mongoose Plus 2 for Ford's and a laptop with atleast 16gb ram.

A comfortable chair, cooler for your favorite beverage and snacks.......lol

Haha.

It'll be delivered later today.

$540 on Amazon with same-day delivery.

Thanks!

You can view codes (CMDTCS) and clear them by clicking this button under vehicle tab. Clear and retest and you're good.

What about the programmable features list? Any I should be doing?

No.....those are only to be messed with if there is any issue.

Or, if you're adding any of the things on that list that your truck did not come with.

Ok, thanks. To ensure I'm up-to-date with all OTA PowerUps, if I completed everything in the SW Update tab, then I have completed all of them? Or is there something else I need to do?

Congratulations......you are fully up to date.

For now.

Thanks! I’ve got 20K miles on it and it’s been awesome.

How long did it take, going to do a 21 that has never got an update

It took every bit of a full weekend. Jesse had hooked me up with a couple of USB updates prior to the FDRS/Mongoose, and then it was 2 days in and out of the truck in the driveway with the tender on. The first updates took forever and really thought 2 days wasn't going to be enough time. However, eventually the updates were smaller and much faster. I really babysat it vigorously though, meaning when something completed I was onto the next thing usually within 10-15 minutes anyway.

Wife and kids thought I just wanted to live in my new toy... which, I mean, if they only knew how close to true that might be! Good luck! This forum was an absolute time and money-saver though. Cannot complement the folks here enough on how helpful they've been.

The IPMA updates are brutal time sinks. Perfect time to detail the truck though while rolling through smaller updates.

Thanks. I'm going to move my router to the garage so I can get a good signal. I'm in Alaska so wifi in my area is ok but not perfect. I heard if you start FRDS early in AM you can get almost 3 days out of it.

I believe you get 3 calendar days regardless of when you start. So if you purchase at 12:01 AM tonight you would get all day Friday through Sunday night at 11:59 PM. I don't recall which time zone they use but I suspect it's ET...
