ECU module programming guide using FDRS

[Big Dog Daddy]

Well after 5 long days of updating, I've finally got my truck all up to date and bluecruise active! Thanks to @Big Dog Daddy @Jesse-Infotainment @rugedraw and everybody else that helped me and others get thru this process. 14 SW updates in FDRS turned in to about 43 updates total!

It's great to see that another 21 Job 1 truck has been lifted out of its comatose state. Now you can finally enjoy the truck as it should have been on day 1.

I have an odd issue going on after my last update session. I completed the updates on the 15th and since then, every time I enable the adaptive cruse control the lane centering automatically turns on. The three updates that I feel may have affected this are the IPMA, PCM and PSCM with the focus on imaging and power steering. Has anyone else seen any odd behaviors after a recent update session?

That's how it works now. Not that I like it...

It's only the first time you turn it on. Once you turn it off it remembers you want it off until you restart the truck.

I wish that were true. I turned it on and off multiple times on a single trip and it reactivates every time.

The first time I hit cruise button on the far left during a trip mine turns on. I turn it off with the lane centering button and it stays off unless I turn the cruise off with the far left button and back on again, or restart the truck. If I use the center cancel/resume button or the set buttons it doesn't turn it back on. I do not have blue cruise.

I must have misread what you stated, that is how mine is working.

Yeah, it's kinda annoying because most of the time I use cruise I don't want lane centering. The only time I use it is on longer stretches of well marked freeway. It's an extra button press that I've gotten used to now.

It's annoying AF, but I guess I'll have to get used to it.

I keep emailing them like once a month to get an update but never hear back. I sent them the stock -MGM Strategy/tune file back in Dec. I will give them a call to see what’s up. I imagine more and more people will run into issues as trucks get the PCM update OTA.

Livernois sent me a tune for the latest pcm update. Mine is a Powerboost czj tho
