thank you man, I appreciate what you doing. I ended up talking to Ford who also can't figure out what's going on. so they had me make an appointment with the dealership who was going to update my blue Cruise. I guess I have other software recalls as well didn't know until I spoke with the Early Access program Tech

I doesn't appear they ever did the APIM update as it shows still under software updates; all I see on the history is them resetting the APIM but not updating it. The service tech did the GSM on 4/1 but then did it again likely because for some reason the GSM update doesn't disappear from the list after it's updated like most modules so he did it again.
Funny ... that's the exact same thing they told me 1.5 weeks ago that prompted them to ... replace the APIM. Note that they claimed back then that they updated it, despite it showing up as an available SW update in FDRS. Makes me wonder if they ever updated it after they installed it.
So they get in touch with Ford Engineering again. Suggestion: Order another APIM and replace the one they just installed ~2 weeks ago.
Hard to believe the new APIM and IPMA modules that they just ordered and replaced in the last ~2 weeks were BOTH bad (they already re-replaced the IPMA module a few days back.
So ... here we wait for another APIM module to be delivered.

Hey @Livnitup , Can you run my VIN in and tell me where my truck is as far as updates please? I don't believe I have received any OTA updates since I received my F150 in March 2021 and my dealership sounded clueless when I talked about the stuck OTA updates issues when I called to schedule an appointment for the warranty work. Is there an official TSB about this issue. Here is my VIN: 1FTEW1EP3MFA91686
Thanks a million.

They tried to update the APIM, but said it kept erroring out.
