This just doesn't make any sense at all; the module updates are in FDRS that any dealership can do (or anyone like me with FDRS access that did it to my own truck) so any dealership claiming to receive the ability to do it later than a different dealership seems laughable.

Today's update: Ford is shipping them another (new) APIM module that is a different part number than what's available to be ordered via the normal route. Should be here tomorrow. And the Engineer will literally be waiting for my service manager to call him IF it doesn't accept the SW programming. We shall see about that ...

This is where I started here
I used the Mongoose-Plus J2534, the Clore PL2320 charger, and a USB drive. I got the 2 day FDRS license and as luck would have it, did it mostly in one day. I would advise to plan for two days anyway because you want the second day to check after it sits overnight and updates itself and FDRS updates.
Hope this is helpful.

For example do you perform the Gateway Module A update first before PCM or ABS?

I could not wait. Failed Sync update back in DEC locked up my Automatic updates.

After one week at the dealer's, the service advisor claims that six of the eight modules have been updated. They claim to be stuck updating the last two and they are waiting for Ford engineers to tell them what they need to do next.
Can you verify what they are saying and post the printout like you did before? I want to know how truthful they are being. Thank you in advance. I will forever be in your debt good sir.
