My PTS access doesn't include OTA history, so anything I could see would only raise more questions than answers. I can see that someone ran OTA diagnostic check on 9/13.

I will say that 1.5 months w/o an update is very much within the normal ranges. (Because there is no actual "normal" when it comes to Ford pushing out the OTAs.)

I have a 2023 F150 XLT rental from Enterprise. It's a different feeling than my optioned-out 2022 King Ranch, especially since it has 10K more miles than mine and has been beat up a bit. Nevertheless it works!

Have a great weekend!
Looks like they are keeping my truck overnight again. The dealership called earlier to say they had finished the transmission and brake fluid flushes and exchanges. The tech who completely updated all my modules in Jan 2023 and replaced the bed camera in Jun 2023 was working on the newly faulting bed camera and module today. They said he would attempt to update other modules but the Ford mothership has cracked down on them since my repairs and updates last year. Now they have to show trouble codes or other issues to do updates.

Can you see if anything was reported back to the mothership today?

They did quite a bit today:


However, since updates have to be installed sequentially, there are plenty more module updates pending. I'd say be grateful they did this many already.

Wow - that's fantastic! Thanks again! Seven updates is certainly better than none. I told my service advisor when he called I understood the restrictions they were under and would be appreciative of anything the tech would be able to do. Who knows, maybe they might squeeze some more in tomorrow! Nevertheless, I'm already very pleased and grateful.
Cheers!🍻

No news from the dealership today. As @camattin reported yesterday, seven modules were updated to include in order ACM, GWM, APIM, DDM, PDM, DSM & TRM. They're still working on the bed camera and associated module DTCs as reported by @rugedraw .

Any updates on what they may have accomplished today?

APIM OTA 3.5.3 has been sent to you twice and failed both times due to check sum errors. Not sure what is causing that. Remind me tomorrow to look into it some more.

Thanks! Good to see you got your access back.

They may have been checking out the driver side split rear seat bottom. It has never locked in the down or up position like the other passenger side. I need to pull the side strap to lift the right side split seat bottom up. Then it locks in the up position and I need to pull the side strap again to put it back down. Not so on the left side.
