Left it in the air as the service manager (who I know personally) went on vacation he just got back today so I’m gonna give him a call tomorrow and see what movement I can get on the issue.
I looked at the vehicle history now to see what they did, and I see they did try to update the APIM and it failed several times. They did update your IPC.....that's good because that takes hours and the IPC updates OTA tend to fail a lot. APIMs I am sure are on back-order, so if they can get it to update, that would be the quickest solution to the problem.

Is there anything you would recommend I say to them in order to “guide” them down the right path to fixing the issue?

All they can do it follow the TSB step-by-step and not deviate from the process in the slightest way. Make sure they read the box in the first page labeled "special tools" and see that the some of the "tools" listed in the first section of that box were found to not work in the 4th section of the same box. If they are genuinely going to try to update it instead of replacing it, they have to follow this with zero deviation. Even then, it may not work and a new APIM will be needed anyway. This is not a 100% guaranteed process......nothing really is.

From what I can see, they did it right. New APIM went in on 9/15 and they did the PMI. The problem now is not your truck, but Ford's crappy OTA process. Just because your truck can get updates, does not mean you will get them right away. There is no rhyme or reason as to how updates are sent, which is why many of us decided to do what we had to do to update the truck ourselves.
Thank you very much for checking!

I’m off Friday and thinking of getting a 2 day license and running updates this weekend. If anyone with FDRS is able to look up my VIN to see what updates are available so I know what to expect, I’d appreciate it.

Forgive me for not keeping up… if I wanted to “Download” those updates, I will need to do the FDRS/Mongoose cable method, go to the dealership or will they eventually download and install themselves?

Looks like 2021 Trucks are getting some new updates. Could someone please check for my truck (1FTFW1ED1MFA45784) if there are any updates waiting?

No OTA in your queue at this time.

Hi rugedraw,

It's been a couple of months since I asked last time. Can you look up my vin again and see if there is anything pending? Still no updates since my one and only 3.5.3.2 on Jan 29th.


1FTFW1E88NFB94570

If there's nothing, is it that Ford just hasn't sent any to my truck, or is something on my truck preventing them from loading? Would a trip to the dealer help in any way?

Thanks!!
