That is where I found it in FORScan. I haven’t used the FDRS process. Is one better than the other?

Is there anyway to confirm if the dealer did in fact attempt to update APIM module after the APIM recovery?

Yes. Give me the date range it was at the dealer to make it easier to find.

No OTA's pending in your OTA queue at this time. You got 6.2.0 at the end of October. 6.3.0 was put on hold for a while but it has been re-released. You should hopefully be getting it sooner than later.

Considering that trucks with automatic headlights reset to automatic every time you start the truck, that's unlikely. Not because it's a requirement for OTA updates, I used FORScan to change the behavior to return to the previous setting. Most of the time it's in auto mode but sometimes I don't want the lights to turn back on automatically.

Yeah I had it fail the first night because the hood was open. Since then I've made sure the charger was tucked in the engine bay nicely and closed the hood fully. I also turned off all accessories and unplugged everything in the truck to prevent draw. I'll try resetting the BMS like Rugedraw suggested and see if I can't get this thing to go through in the next couple nights before it expires. Fingers crossed.
