Did exactly what you said. Got home from the game, reset the OTA schedule to 5pm and was notified in FordPass of the successful update. What's coming down the pike next?

Nothing else in queue at this time. You got two in one day, so thank the OTA gods and hope they shine upon thee sooner than later for the next one.

After getting my APIM replaced a few weeks ago I decided to wait before I manually updated my system to see if the system would update itself. Last week I received 2.1.0 and today I Recieved 2.1.1. Both minor updates to the GSM but hey, I’m only 2 years behind. The updates skipped over 1.7.1 unless the new APIM already has the update IDK. Anyway, good news for a change.

Can any check my VIN to see if I’m current on module updates if its not too much trouble? I am assuming i would have to go to the dealer to get the updates and they aren't all OTA?

Need the VIN to check. Ford does not pay dealers to perform module updates unless there is a recall or service bulletin they can bill Ford for, so I would not have high hopes that they do them for you.

I got them to update the modules on my Explorer ST I don’t know how they went about billing for it, but I know I didn’t have to pay anything.

Some people have reported that their dealers have helped them with pending module updates, but most do not share the experience you had with the ST. With that said, your truck is on the latest Sync version and the last power-up update you got was 6.4.0. While you are not fully up to date, you are not terribly behind, either. The updates you are missing will come in via the OTA process, but it's a waiting game. There is no way to predict when an update will be sent to you and no way to force an update to be sent to you, either.
