I was a service manager at a ford dealer up until 3 months ago.
Couldnāt put up with Fordās practices, so I went on to a different manufacturer after 18 years.
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 youāre suggestingā¦ 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 everyoneās gonna be taking their trucks into the dealer asking for a software update to make the radio sound better and the dealerās not gonna have any idea what the hell theyāre 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 monthās payment.
Sweet Jesus thatās a payment!
It donāt.
Ford released the truck without the capabilities and wonāt admit it.
Theyād 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?!
My job 2 truck has been able to show the bed camera in full screen or side screen indefinitely. Iāve been worried about a software update making it quit working and youāve made me realize my fears are rational.
Iām gonna turn off auto updates.
My biggest complaint is that the amp makes the sub play too high.
Thereās no crossover control.
Some music I have to turn bass up, and other music and news, I have to turn it way down.
Iām going to replace just the amp with one that gives me some knobs and maybe a remote gain control and see if...
I donāt have BlueCruise but can still drive hands-free on mostly straight highways.
I just hang a 1-lb ankle weight on the wheel and watch the instrument cluster closely.
