  1. Power Tailgate on a RCSB?...Yes Please! My DIY Install

    The tailgate has everything I need in it, I'm sure. It was sourced from a higher trim (Lariat or KR, not Platinum) that had the step, remote release and lift motor. What I don't know is what connections I need to control those. I upgraded the rear harness about a year ago. I probably also need a...
  2. Power Tailgate on a RCSB?...Yes Please! My DIY Install

    In the original post above you referred the wiring harness at the rear having wires related to trailer TPMS. I replaced that harness on my 301A for that reason, so I probably have the same wiring harness. How do I confirm existence of the BCMC relay, the wire from the BCM to BCMC, and the step...
  3. Power Tailgate on a RCSB?...Yes Please! My DIY Install

    I'm more interested in the remote release than the power tailgate but I have all the tailgate parts, if that's practical. I already have a dual 10 AWG wire going from the battery to the rear bumper, if needed for power to the motor. I added it to mount a trickle-charge connector on the rear...
  4. Power Tailgate on a RCSB?...Yes Please! My DIY Install

    I am very interested in this project, at least the remote release part. If you posted that project separately I'd appreciate being pointed to those details. I have a '21 Job 1 XLT HDPP with mid-level. trim. The only options it didn't have when I bought it used is tow mirrors and a tailgate...
  5. Engine Temperature During Steep Climbs

    Do you have professional knowledge of the topic, such as ASE certification?
  6. Engine Temperature During Steep Climbs

    Is it open enough to flow passively? (That's a question, not a challenge to your statement.)
  7. CAFE Standard is History - Will the PowerBoost be cancelled

    The only thing that makes a law "permanent" is the absense of a specific expiration date. Any law (including supposedly permanent tax cuts) can change at any time, if Congress has the will to do it. (That includes having the votes to invoke cloture and override a veto, if necessary.)
  8. ECU module programming guide using FDRS

    I ran into that login problem and had to uninstall/reinstall for a recent 2-day subscription.
  9. ECU module programming guide using FDRS

    I entered your VIN in FDRS. It shows an update available for APIM: "G2171556-57.0". There's also a note that there are additional updates. "Update APIM to access updates to the following modules: GWM, APIM, TCU, GWM." Does there being multiple instances of GWM listed mean that the update for...
  10. ECU module programming guide using FDRS

    Monitoring module updates in FDRS reminds me of being hypnotized by defragging hard drives on my PC back in the 90s.
  11. ECU module programming guide using FDRS

    OK. IPMA is finally processing correctly after a few attempts. I don't know what interfered before but it's been running for over an hour and seems to be progressing as expected. Assuming it completes without error, my truck will be caught up as much as I'm allowed to do, i.e., not BCM.
  12. FordPass will not update

    In the Ford app, go to connected services at the bottom of the first page. Scroll down and go to contact us. Call the number for Alexa, etc. I've found them slow but helpful. If they're not the right people they'll connect you or transfer you to the people that are.
  13. New trailer software update

    The only time I've seen that is when I unwittingly had my foot on the brake.
  14. ECU module programming guide using FDRS

    I'm showing an update for ACM. It appears to run normally but, when I refresh the screen, it's back again. What's up with that?
