They won't do it. You need probably 16 hours worth of work to get fully updated with FDRS. They did what they did because then can bill Ford under warranty for the work they did. However, they cannot bill Ford for the labor required to fully update your truck. Nobody likes to work for free and no tech is going to spend 2-3 days working on your truck pro-bono. The attached spreadsheet has every OTA ever sent to 2021-2023 F150's. Your truck will get 2.1.0 as it's first OTA whenever it gets sent to you.
Is this spreadsheet posted somewhere for reference as its updated?
Knowing that you we able to upgrade your 21 to bluecruise 1.4 makes me want to bite the bullet and buy a mongoose adapter. At least it confirms the 21 hardware is capable.
I cant thank you enough for what you do for the community rugedraw!

I keep track of all updates for our truck on the thread linked below. Spreadsheet is on the first post:
I also run a Mongoose loaner program for people that don't want to spend the money on the Mongoose. I require a fully refundable deposit; I make no profit from this. Details are int he first post here and the waiting list is on the second post. Lmk if you want me to add you to the waiting list.
Checked your truck again and there are some new codes there that may be useful to point out the issue. The check engine symbol is still by the active grille shutters, but now it's showing faults for a forward sensing sensor and a front sensor alignment. I really don't think it is software related. I follow these OTA's across several forums with different vehicles and you're the only person with issues after this update.
.
Things got worse during the day, the truck randomly went into engineering test mode on startup, followed by cross traffic alerts in an empty alley, with no one else around, then some new chime / buzzer at the gas station.
Would the sensor misalignment go out and take out all the speed and lane keeping functions? It's all not functional at this point. If that one sensor kills the whole suite of cruise control functions, that is a very poor design.
Grill shutters were plugged back in, and I physically checked the sensor, and it was never touched. Anyhow, after the debacle of noises and warnings today, I decided to drop it off at the dealer, so they have it for 2 weeks.
My reason for looking at the software as the cause, is that the system did not detect sensor faults for almost a week of not working, and middle of this week, our other Whipple supercharged truck was disabled and required a reflash and KAM reset after and OTA update caused it to chug and spit out black smoke and shake. Seemed as though Ford pushed the stock tune back onto the truck, reflash, reset, and all good, never happened before that trucks OTA update. All updates are now turned off.

I can confirm with 100% certainty that the '21 hardware (Job 1 truck, too) works flawlessly with Bluecruise 1.4

After the premier audio update that messed up the sound I got another update but not the audio fix. I'v received 3 update notifications in the last month or so but there isn't an actual update. typically I can tap the notification and it allows to download right away. If I tap about this update it shows the most recent update. Does anyone know why this is happening?
About a week ago while driving around my truck screen indicated it received a download a new update that would be loaded in the next Automatic Update window, indicated the truck would not be avaiable for 50 minutes or so.
When I got home I hooked the truck up to the battery charger and went back in to select "Update Now", but any indication of a new update was gone. The last update shown was one that was received a week earlier.
Nothing appeared on the Ford App about it. Nothing said what the mystery update was.

My last truck started an update on the middle of the day one time when I went in to buy some chicken, so it might have just done it right after it warned you.

Yea, I think your issue definitely warrants a dealer visit.
Keep in mind turning auto-updates off will only prevent updates that require the vehicle to be inhibited from installing. The update that wiped that tune was a PCM update and it happens to me with my truck, too. Other updates to other modules like the APIM, GWM, TCU and some others will still go through even with auto updates turned off, but those will not affect your tune.
I've gotten several updates over the last couple of weeks, but the most recent one appears to have failed to install, and I don't have the option to try it again. My SOC seems fine, so I'm not sure what else might be the issue.
