  1. "New" FDRS Restrictions

    Looking for some clarifications / specifics. I updated all modules on my '22 truck in June of this year (except for the module that requires the dealership login password). However, since my successful update, I have recently read a few posts that Ford has increased the price for using FDRS...
  2. Ejecting USB Drive

    After 3 years, I am only now fooling around with playing music stored on an USB thumbdrive. I am very accustomed to using an external USB drive on my laptop computer, and to properly remove the drive, there is an "Eject" step to go through. I expected a similar "Eject" step to remove my USB...
  3. Questions on Tuning From a Neophyte

    From (the little of) what I understand about getting a tune, I'm intrigued, and may consider one for my 3.5EB once it's out of warranty. I understand the basic premise behind getting a tune, but there's a number of details that I don't understand. - Can you keep, or "save" the factory stock OEM...
  4. SOC, FDRS, OTA, and Platform "End of Life"

    Not long ago, I posted a follow-up on the 1-3/4 year-later results of upgrading to a larger battery size, an H8. While the up-sizing did vanquish all of the previously experienced electrical gremlins (and allowed me to halt the constant use of a battery maintainer), it turned out not to be quite...
  5. H8 Battery Upgrade May Not Quite Be the Solution That I Hoped For

    I thought I had a pretty good solution to an ongoing problem, but I just had some surprises.... Background: - Truck is a '22 Lariat 3.5 EB. It is rarely driven daily - it is driven when I need a truck (which means sometimes it is driven daily, but most times it sits for a week... or two... or...
  6. Small detail, pleasant surprise....

    This comes from the "So what? - It doesn't matter!" file folder. Like everybody else, I occasionally get ticked-off or disgruntled at something, but on the flip side, I am amused at how I am sometimes so easily pleased or easily entertained! THIS is one of those cases. A year or two ago, I...
  7. One man's opinion...

    One man's opinion. Well, actually several people's opinion, apparently.... https://bestlifeonline.com/ford-vehicles-gone-downhill/ I know this has to be fodder for discussion... ? EDIT: After posting, I came to realize that my title, "One Man's Opinion" may have inferred to some that it was...
  8. Payload Capacity: C'mon, is it REALLY Important?

    I've seen a lot of discussion and debate regarding payload/towing capacities on this forum, so this may tickle some curious responses... :lipssealed: [All photo credits go to eBAUM'S World ( https://www.ebaumsworld.com/pictures/20-photos-of-absolutely-overloaded-pickup-trucks/87704108/ ) and...
  9. What's the current status of the validity of the Glare Free Headlight FORScan mod?

    After reading all of the initial positive feedback on making the Glare Free headlights mod in FORScan, I was really looking forward to making the mod myself - as soon as I had the proper APIM update. I got tired of waiting, and finally did all updates through FDRS. However, now that I'm finally...
  10. DEALER Transmission Fluid Exchange Experience (For What I's Worth...)

    For what it's worth..... I took my truck to the dealer to have the Max Tow axle shafts replaced as per the recall. Since it was there - and had just shy of 30,000 miles, I decided to have the transmission fluid exchange performed (I tow a fair amount, off and on). Fortunately, I could watch...
  11. Air Filter Comparison

    At 25,000 miles, I randomly decided to check my air filter (among other tasks), and decided it needed to be changed. I seemed to recall that someone on this forum had noted that the Purolator One air filter was substantially thicker than the OEM Ford. This stuck in my mind, and I reasoned was...
  12. Seeking Clarification from Knowledgeable Parts Person

    I've been looking, but can't seem to locate the thread(s) on retrofitting the 2021 digital HVAC temp control to be used in a 2022+ MY (still looking....). As an offshoot of that search, I also started looking for the HVAC control through various / multiple Ford Parts websites. I looked for the...
  13. Is Disabling Shifter Fold Button Harmful?

    I am exploring a concept brought up my another member: @Korça provided an anti-theft idea that I thought was brilliant - adding a hidden switch ("On/Off") to the shifter fold button on console shifters. Press the button to fold the shifter down, and then flip the hidden "On/Off" switch to kill...
  14. To Realign Cameras, or NOT?

    So, I completed my side view mirror upgrade from power "standard" mirrors to power tow mirrors. For the most part, everything went well. While enabling the power telescoping in FORScan, I noticed a DTC: code B1578, "Digital Park Assist Camera Vision System" in the IPMA module. It is my...
  15. Which Module Displays "Reverse Backup Assist" Warning?

    I'm trying to find which module in the FORScan spreadsheet might control the display of the "Reverse Backup Assist" warning. I thought it might be in IPC, but I didn't see anything that looked like might be it. Anyone have any ideas?
  16. Turn Off "Rear Brake Assist" Warning in FORScan?

    In my Sync 4 screen menu, I have toggled the switch for "Rear Brake Assist" to OFF. And while the actual function of this "feature" is indeed off, I get a yellow warning graphic on my instrument cluster warning me Rear Brake Assist is not available every time I shift into reverse. Anyway to...
  17. Trans fluid "flush" / exchange, or drop pan drain?

    I know the Owner's Manual says to change the transmission fluid at 150,000 miles, but I also read/see a LOT of info suggesting making fluid changes at 30,000 or 50,000 miles instead. And then there's is the debate of flush vs. drop pan change. A Service Advisor at my local dealership told me...
  18. Curious About Availability of Power-Fold Tow Mirrors

    As the Subject Line says, I'm curious about when the power-fold feature for Tow Mirrors became available. Backstory: I custom ordered my '22 Lariat in Dec of '21, and had Tow Mirrors on my list of things to order. However, at the time of ordering, I was informed by the dealer that Tow Mirrors...
  19. Dealerships and FORScan

    I took my truck into a small-town dealership to have some warranty work performed. It was towards the end of the Service Dept.'s work day, and employees were starting to slowly leave work. It was during this time that I got into a conversation with the Service Advisor and the Tech who was going...
