No idea. I just quoted what Ford told the NHTSA when they filed the TSB with them.

thanks that makes sense with ford tight lipped
my neutral tow works perfect so i was curious as what the issue might have been
i do see a few folks on rv sites destroying transmissions, but they brain fart the neutral tow part

Malfunction Indicator Lamp. Neutral tow is when you put the transmission in Neutral (I think there is a special button of something on the dash?) so you can tow the truck with all 4 wheels on the ground behind something like a motorhome without blowing up the transmission. At least thats what I think it is (I'll never actually be doing this haha)

Hrm, curious if this update under a TSB is a move to require dealers to update the APIM to the latest upon asking vs telling customers to pay $$$ or get lost.

What makes you think that ?
