Anyone available to check my VIN? I can message you. It's been several months since I updated and also haven't seen any OTAs come through, so not sure if Ford isn't releasing anything or it's available just not via OTA.

It takes that long via FDRS because it's transferring via the canbus which is painfully slow by today's standards. If updated via OTA, I believe it transfers over the vehicle ethernet network taking a fraction of the time.

You can unplug the mongoose while transferring files, but a USB hub makes it a lot easier. The first time I did updates I didn't have a hub and was able to do things by unplugging the mongoose when needed and had no issues. I have since gotten a hub and it makes things faster since I'm not...

That can happen. If there was a little water in the road, and glare can cause the camera to lose the lines enough that it won't enable. Similar to driving at dusk/dawn going towards the sun.

Not sure why you'd be driving down the highway without a seatbelt anyway, unless you want to play Superman in an accident.

I logged in earlier this evening. Took a while to authenticate, but I got in.

Long time since I've been here. I got my truck updated yesterday. The IPMA was very temperamental, but I got there. I see it's normal for PSCM to stick around after the latest updates. I had the turn signal option for BlueCruise before, do I need any other ForScan changes to enable the full 1.4...

Here is what I ordered. Hopefully that gets you what you need. It looks like Bill Ring was purchased by another company since I installed mine.

Did it say that the battery was low or that the truck was in deep sleep? Regardless of voltage, the truck will enter deep sleep if there no use after 14 days. If you were gone for 2+ weeks, what you may have seen could be normal.

From searching about the topic, oil sheer is VERY common on the 3.5 Ecoboost and very few oils didn't have the issue. Everything I've read made it seem like it sheers down to ~5W-20 fairly quickly, but stabilizes there until changed.

Yes, if I lift it just shortly and hold, the motor kicks in and takes it the rest of the way. Occasionally though, it doesn't matter how far I lift it or how long I hold it, the motor doesn't want to go and I need to manually close it

If you have the fully powered tailgate, it only takes ~1-2" to go back up on its own for me.

Your biggest issue, in my opinion, is going to be finding something that has enough lift height to get the tire off the ground, especially in the rear. For capacity, I'd say 2 ton minimum, 3-4 ton to be safe. Even though you'd never lift the full weight of the truck, you don't know how...

This isn't displayed in the OPs pics or the discussion here, but how would a driver cause cupping wear? What about worn inner edges of tires? I've never once seen abnormal wear blamed on the driver with the exception of outer edge wear and hard cornering or if someone is doing burnouts.
