PM?
I don't know Livnitup and have never asked him for help. He provides help to anyone who askes in this thread. IF I ever get the status of my truck from processing to a VIN 
I may ask him for help. I don't want him to get exasperated, always helping us and stop doing it, I may need him.
So, I'm publicly asking him for a contact email and am going to send him an Amazon Gift card for doing so much for all of us. So Livinitup what is your email address?

I am into the end of my 5th week (23 shop days)... Just returned from Dealership again without BC working. The tech worked live with the Ford engineer all morning trying to update IPC, using 3 different methods none of which worked... They are now ordering an IPC to which I have not been told how long the expected delay will be. I still think it is the APIM due to the spinning "Please wait" screen that comes often when I start the truck up and it tries that initial saving of settings..., but will have to wait and see how the IPC replacement works out and go from there.

Yes. It is on the charger Ford recommends during the whole process. I had asked them about that early on and they confirmed.

I'm just guessing, but if you have an IPC issue, odds are that only half of the update applied properly. A handful of people have had that issue, and I don't think there is a way to fix it with FDRS or any official Ford product, but it can be fixed. The bad thing about it when this happens that the IPC update itself disappears from the list, but since stuff isn't correct, other updates are held until the full update is applied.
