Oh, I've been checking it a lot. lol It's been there for days and they haven't touched it.

So for you it shows as the TRM update went through? All I see is that it is in queue since June 1st.

Thank you! Do I need to do anything like hook up to Wi-Fi or will it eventually update?

From my understanding, it makes no difference in you are on wifi or not. Unless you live in an area where you have spotty cell phone coverage, being on WiFi will not cause whatever triggers the OTA's to come to you faster. You are an old software version and you have 4 open recalls. Schedule an appt to get them resolved and while it is there, see if they can check your APIM and update it manually. It seems to be stuck at that one step for almost 2 months now.

Yeah, looks like the TRM update was successful. You should be able to see this in PTS under Diagnostics, Vehicle History.

Interesting thing is that 21S56, and 22S17 have been done since March/April. I can see the underbody was done, but now I question the trailer relay module. I will take it in for the others soon. Thanks for that. None show up on my Ford pass either. Much appreciated.

Good. If I get nothing else out of dropping my truck off there, this alone is worth it. Last time I towed, the error messages kept coming on my dash and chiming literally 10 times per minute.

Interesting. I am about to pick up my truck tomorrow and the recalls they just did still appear as open. I am not sure what makes them come off when they're performed. I assume the dealer is supposed to report they were done somehow in the system so that they come off. I am honestly not sure how that works.

Yeah as Livin noted, you have been checking in the wrong place for what the dealer has done. Dealer installs don't show up under OTA updates, that's for OTA updates. You will see dealer diagnostic work and updates under your vehicle history. That's where you can see them running the module update for the TBC. It's cool because it shows every step and the options they select.

But yeah, just as confirmation, no sign you had any other updates done.

I just received my VIN and have a build date of July 25. After reading all the horror stories you guys are posting about updating your software, I have a question. When I get my car in August, will all the software be up-to-date as of the build date. Or will I still have to go through and have software updates?

The first time I brought my truck in, they tried 21G01 and had no success after 2-1/2 weeks. That was around the same time 22B08 came out. The tools (cables and such) Ford specified in 22B08 were not the ones they were using, so they assumed this might be the issue and ordered them from Ford. Fast forward to last Wednesday. The tools finally came in and I dropped the truck off again. I picked it up yesterday (1 week later) with BlueCruise fully functional. The dealership is 1/4 mile from a BlueCruise highway, so I was able to test it immediately and it worked flawlessly on a relatively straight stretch of highway. I'll test it further on a more curved section , but it seems like it's working great. It took 3-1/2 weeks total, but I'm ready for the 2000 mile road trip at the end of this month.

The Intelligent Cruise Control Option goes away permanently. IIRC, if you enable Adaptive Cruise Control AND Lane Centering (moved under ACC *and* not to be confused with lane keeping, which is separate), that is the equivalent of engaging Intelligent Cruise Control. SSR should (or will) still be available after all 6 Power-Up updates needed for BC have been applied.
