Probably not helpful, but worth asking, when you say that the power is cut to the truck, are you just describing the first step in programming where all other controllers are commanded to go silent before it will program the controller? It will seem like everything in the truck turned off, but...

At one point, when a dealer was doing software updates on my truck, they accidentally soft bricked two controllers. After two and a half weeks of getting no where, they were willing to let me come in and help. Two hours later, it was all updated and drivable again. The ultimate issue was the...

Sorry, I definitely meant the CDF drum. I must not have had enough coffee.

Have you had the BCD drum in the transmission replaced with the new design that doesn’t allow the drum to slip in the transmission? Mine would occasionally surge in RPMs for a few seconds under load on the highway. The BCD drum replacement fixed the issue. Mine is also a 21 PowerBoost and I had...

Sorry, I was out of town the past few weeks and forgot to get back to verifying this for you. I went with a value of 9, and everything has been working great so far. As @SilverPigeon mentioned, it is best to keep that "ones" bit set when making the change. I haven't tried turning it off to...

The CDF drum issue is most likely not specifically what causes the truck to get stuck in second. That tends to be more what causes the RPMs to bounce around a little while at highway speeds. That being said, my dealer’s tech is convinced that there is more damage that happens in the...

Insurance should give you a buyback offer when they tell you the amount you get from being totaled. It’s basically the value they were quoted for salvaging it. The advantage of doing the buyback is that the title never changes hands, so it is still a clean title. I just got done doing this with...

Sorry for the late reply. Yes, I updated it to 9. I assume that bit is set for something useful in the latest software updates. I just don't know what it is for. Adaptive cruise is working incredibly well on my truck since adding it.

At that mileage, you’ll need too have it inspected before they’d approve the extended warranty. I got a somewhat high mileage 21’ PowerBoost two years ago. Since then, I’ve had it in to the dealer many times. Transmission CDF drum fix, followed by a complete transmission rebuild a half year...

I purchased the bumper from Ford with the holes for the sensors as I added the front sensors and wanted to get rid of the chrome bumper at the same time. Part: ML3Z17757FAPTM. It was the primed bumper and I used Raptor Liner 2K spray cans to paint it. We’ll see how that holds up over time, but...

Wheels: Icon Alloys Rebound with +16 Offset Tires: 275/60R20 Cooper DiscovererRoad+TrailAT

2021 Powerboost Lariat, FX4, tow mirrors, 6.5 bed, 7.2KW, Max Tow. From Canada, but now resides in Iowa. Most all chrome deleted too.

I don't know if anyone desires to get all of the codes changed over if their truck was originally delivered in Canada but is now in the United States, but here are all of the values I've found that should be swapped over in Forscan. I'm curious if anyone knows of any others. I've left off the...

As an update, I finally figured out how to get AutoHitch working. Another required Forscan change is in the PCM. Mine was set less the trailer hitch guide. When I enabled this and took the truck for a short drive, auto hitch started working after that point. The truck backed up and put the...

The catch with is that with transmission things, the tech has to experience it in person before they can get warranty approval. The most obvious sign of issues with the CDF is when you start to see the RPMs randomly spike while traveling down the interstate. I’d see it go from 1.9 to 2.2 and...

I put those on in November of 2023. I have about 25k miles on them, and I’ve been very happy so far.

Mine was covered under the ESP, but I do have the PremiumCare. I was at about 79,000 miles when they did it. Ended up getting a complete rebuild at 90,000 due to it getting stuck in second gear when cold. That was also under the ESP. The service manager said they see a lot of transmissions...

I had the telescoping mirror intermittent issue on my 21 PB. Since I bought it used, I’m on an extended warranty with $100 deductible. Instead of paying that, I just bought a new switch and replaced the switch in the door myself. It was an $32 part and only took about 5 minutes of time. It...

My 21 Lariat Powerboost FX4

That was going to be my next question. Did your friend tell you exactly what DTCs are present in Forscan? I’m assuming there is at least one if you’ve decided it is the driver side.
