Would someone be willing to check my VIN before I pay another $50? 1FTFW1ED0MFA97746

I just did the TCU and the CMR update a couple days ago. These new updates are now available. Anyone else seen these or hear of any improvements?

FYI, I'm not connected to the vehicle. When I hover over the update it says the update is used to replace the module.

No update is more enticing to me than a PCM update.
It's the equivalent of THE brain of the truck. The potential to improve the overall drivability of the truck IS a PCM update.

Of course I'm not saying it's a guaranteed improvement for anything specific, but I AM saying that Ford likely has GOOD reasons for any update they developed for the PCM.

Note that it will automatically clear your adaptive tables. Or at least I believe that it does. So the immediate results might actually feel negative.

@abd79 just received these as well.

Updates showed this morning in FDRS for my Job1 '21 Powerboost (ABS, PCM, SOBDMC) and updated them without any issues. I also got the CMR update last weekend.

CMR... (AKA the iNanny)

Of course more updates roll in after the day my FDRS expires.

Wondering if these will be part of a future OTA?

Is the PCM showing up for all engine types or just the Powerboost.

Looks like it’s powerboost specific.

Best I can tell it looks like just the PB

I think that is correct. I have a '21 Job 1 XLT (302a) 5.0L and there are 0 updates available for mine and it's current.

I haven't seen it pop up yet.
And I checked a fella with a August 2021 build PB and his doesn't have it yet either.

I have zero issues with my 2022, but I'm very interested in what this PCM is about.

The 22 got this update package earlier. I believe last month. It can be released OTA. I have seen this update go OTA.

Thanks Jesse for the clarification.

I honestly should be hesitant about updating my PCM. The truck is absolutely performing perfectly.
