As far as updates go, PTS will only show you OTA history of which OTA's a vehicle has gotten/failed and it will show if you have a pending OTA in queue to install. It will not show you which modules have pending updates....only FDRS does that. I do not know of any other website/program that will do anything as far as updates go.
It happens. Call Livernois and they will make a new tune for you with the updated strategy so you can have the tune and the PCM update at the same time.WARNING ON INSTALLING THAT NEW PCM UPDATE IF YOU HAVE LIVERNOIS TUNE
Apparently that update from FORD (PCM Update) is overwriting your livernois custom tune.
Also, if you install the PCM update, it will install fine with no issues and clear from FDRS. As soon as re-install your custom tune from Livernois... the PCM Update will come back in FDRS. Once you install the FDRS PCM update it appears to clear the features in your custom tune and you end up in an endless loop. It cleared my cylinder deactivation, and skip shifting, once I installed the PCM Update.
I just reinstalled my custom tune again and FDRS is showing the PCM update again but I am just leaving it as is for now. Wonder if this is a way for Ford to wipe custom tunes from the trucks??? Things that make you go hmmmmm.
This is completely a guess, but maybe the livernois tune is actually reverting you to the previous PCM strategy, effectively making FDRS believe that you still need the update. Possibly an update tune will fix it?WARNING ON INSTALLING THAT NEW PCM UPDATE IF YOU HAVE LIVERNOIS TUNE

This is what I thought too but once I installed the PCM update the strategy information remained the same but perhaps there is something deeper. I will let livernois know as well and see what they say.
They have excellent customer support. Mine is tuned, too. I still have the older PCM update I never did to avoid wiping the tune. Once you and a few others call them to tell them and they add the new tune to their database, it'll make it easier for me to get my new tune. lol
Yes, but maybe another came out now. I can run your VIN with FDRS later to see if you have another one showing. I never did the one that came out months ago, so I am two PCM updates behind now if another did come out.
Cool. I had a update notice that came and disappeared yesterday so maybe there will be an answer in there.
Make sure you are using your email.
