you guys have checked before, but finally got the 2.6.0 power up update a few months back, and on sync 4.0.22177, so I think I'm past the normal point that the '21 PB get stuck?

Am i just stuck in a waiting game? Dealership doesn't seem super helpful when I've asked about this..
Yes, you are past the hump. You are behind on updates and Ford rarely pushes out those older updates, so if you depend on OTA, it will be a long while before you are up to date. Since 2.6.0, you got two small priority updates, too, but no other Power Up updates have been sent to you.

Ford does not pay dealers for the hours of labor it takes to update modules, so they will give you the run-around or an excuse 99% of the time. you mention updates to them.

One question, after upgrading my truck, is it good to keep the Mongoose or could it be sold? I mean, it works for some other project in the future. In other words, after fixing it, I hope to receive all the OTA updates

Keep in mind that Ford's OTA process is not systematic. I saw people getting the full screen update for months and half the time the update was failing and one truck would get the update multiple times while mine didn't. So I pulled one of my mongoose cables from the loaner rotation to update my own truck a second time because I got tired of waiting. So you can sell it, but you might find yourself in a position where you wish you hadn't in the future.

2021 Job 1 truck. Wondering where I stand to get the update that was released on 4/15. I’ve had the truck for about 6-7k miles and have my first service with the dealer coming up 4/25. Are these TSBs related to my truck?
TSB 22-2402 or 22-2404? If the dealer doesn’t help me out I may just pony up for the mongoose.

Ford F-150 Power-Up 4.2.1. OTA software update installed today IMG_7933

You last recorded OTA was in November and since it was over 60 days ago, the details are no longer in PTS for me to see which update it was. Based on your Sync version, you are behind on updates. TSB 22-2402 is not for F150's, and your truck is past the point where is TSB 22-2404 would apply to it. Ford does not pay dealers for the hours of labor it takes to update modules, so I would not count on them updating your truck.

I didn't know that you could do that. :)

It's easier for me to abstain. I simply resist renewing my FDRS license.

With all the people complaining about 4.2.2 giving them problems with phone connectivity and what not, I am in no rush to get this OTA.

Carplay randomly disconnects, random loss of audio during phone calls and music streaming, sync screen freezing, etc. I have only seen people with Carplay complaining about it.

Pulled for '23s??

To late for me. Just got OTA 4.2.2 on my 21 today (4/19). And 4.2.1 happened 4/15. I wonder if they will be rolling it back.... But in any case 4 days between OTAs is a personal best for my F150!

Interesting. I just updated the GWM via FDRS last weekend. I experienced loss of streaming audio for the first time a couple days ago and today loss of CarPlay connectivity. I haven’t seen any other updates since the GWM.
