Great news! I’ll be happy to stand corrected!

This is suggesting that your ACM is at latest, but your DSP is not.

I was a service manager at a ford dealer up until 3 months ago. Couldn’t put up with Ford’s practices, so I went on to a different manufacturer after 18 years.

Maybe the ACM, assuming that’s a separate module still.

It would be great to find out what they updated.

In November. Mine was built in October.

In a truck owners opinion; should this be done? Yes. Do I expect a flat rate technician who, only gets flagged for fixing a verifiable problem, with procedures directed by the workshop manual or technical service bulletin, to take the time to do what you’re suggesting… for 0.3 hrs of pay? Not...

The problem is that without a TSB or SSM telling the dealers to do a software update for particular problem everyone’s gonna be taking their trucks into the dealer asking for a software update to make the radio sound better and the dealer‘s not gonna have any idea what the hell they’re talking...

We have to wait for them to close the warranty claim before we can see what they updated. Right now all we can see is your transmission problems they fixed back in December. Congrats on getting a refund for a month’s payment. Sweet Jesus that’s a payment!

It don’t. Ford released the truck without the capabilities and won’t admit it. They’d rather ignore the problem than admit to it and risk having to give refunds or worse, a class action. Who wants to join a class action with me?!

I replaced the rear with the same components that I used in the front. Different mounting brackets, though.

Ford backup cameras have always been much clearer than most manufacturers. The bed camera sucks, though.

It’s more that Ford doesn’t provide clear instruction and the software they give dealers to perform PMIs fucking sucks.

Yeah, the quality of that camera sucks. Can’t see anything at night and still grainy during the day.

My job 2 truck has been able to show the bed camera in full screen or side screen indefinitely. I’ve been worried about a software update making it quit working and you’ve made me realize my fears are rational. I’m gonna turn off auto updates.
