Add me to the list as well. I took my truck in today to get the ACC "update". I mentioned this and the service advisor said it doesn't cool your back. I never knew it was supposed to as from day 1 the back has never cooled.

Adaptive Cruise Control.......there is another thread here about it. DONT DO IT YET!!!! Got called after them having my truck all day and now it seems my entire cruise control system is not working. Others are having major issues as well after receiving the update.

Hi Guys,
I just got my truck back from my dealer and got the dreaded "its operating like it should be" even though my seat back are considerably warmer than my bottoms. So when I got home I just did a little experiment on my own. I drove the truck home form the dealer and left the truck running for around 5 minutes in the driveway with the cooled seats on and measured the temperature on both the seat back and bottoms. The seat backs measured between 90 - 92 degrees and the bottoms measured between 78 - 82 degrees. I am guessing the differences would be larger after around 30 minutes but I didnt want to spend that much time. The service tech said they performed tests on the seats and verified that they are working as designed. Anyone have an idea of what "tests" they would perform?

Keystone Kops stuff...
If you look at the picture of the TED above you will see a white filter...that is the intake...there IS no input hose......
So, per an earlier post, some tech concluded that the INPUT was "kinked" and a new TED is on order with adjustable input....see below from 'Bama's earlier post...
Got my truck back from the dealer yesterday evening. They stated the design of the current TED doesn't allow them to adjust it where the intake hose is not kinked. They have ordered a different TED that is supposedly adjustable. They believe this will fix it. Ordered one for both seats. Will provide and update once they come in and part numbers of it does fix it.
Folks, I for one do not think the field folks have ANY grip on this issue and I can only hope that some Ford Engineers with a positive IQ are working on a real fix for us....maybe a different TED but most probably a REAL exhaust duct system like Dave DSTRAT1 "engineered"...maybe both.....just MHO!!
