When programming a new module, it pulls the configuration down from Ford's servers. If you had a ForScan change in the old module, it will be applied to the new one as well in most cases. The only time it wouldn't is if you made a change that wasn't uploaded, but that is very unlikely as you'd pretty much need to make the change before driving to the dealer.

Ford has the As Built data for every truck. You can download it from the Motorcraft Service website if you want, see here.

No idea if they actively track changes to as-built data. My guess is that they don't pay any attention to it unless there's an issue at the dealership with a module.

That would be my guess as well. That was my biggest concern, taking the truck in to have a module replaced / reprogrammed and it not being warranty because they have the data proving the as-built data had been modified.

all fixed.. re-enabled the backup brake assist, and everything came back like drboss21 said.. the only thing that is a problem now is my second key does not work. they said something to me when I picked it up that I would have to bring it back in to re-program. Not too concerned about that since I don't use it...

Think I discovered a new requirement with the latest OTA update.
Use to be you could allow the truck, when using adaptive cruise, to slow down to zero. When traffic started moving, so did the truck.
Now you have to press resume before it moves off again. I'm ok with this. Just a small thing, but proves you are paying attention.

Either that, or I've been drinking.
Which is most certainly possible.

Hey, @Livnitup, it's been a while.
Haven't been paying attention, but I don't recall any updates since I got my BC enabled months back. Can you do the needful? LOL. Thanks. 1FTFW1E50MFB04459
