Thats different than anything we have seen.Both sides of my quads are not working on low beam...the high beams work.
talked to the service dude this morning, and they are gonna look at it Wednesday....Thats different than anything we have seen.
Not sure BCM updates come in via OTA updates...the gurus would have to confirm that.I turned my auto updates off. Haven’t updated since sept. Lol
the BCM wasn’t pushed over the air. Those that installed it used FDRS. Many of the updates are making the trucks run better such as the latest PCM update.I turned my auto updates off. Haven’t updated since sept. Lol
I have noticed the truck runs smoother with this latest PCM update, made the cost for FDRS a bit easier to absorb.the BCM wasn’t pushed over the air. Those that installed it used FDRS. Many of the updates are making the trucks run better such as the latest PCM update.
it is the body control module and controls critical functions of the truck. Take a look at this thread. if you start at the beginning it will explain how people update their trucks.What’s this bcm update and who does it then?
so this is something we can choose to do and isn’t necessary like the over the air updates?it is the body control module and controls critical functions of the truck. Take a look at this thread. if you start at the beginning it will explain how people update their trucks.

It something many of us have chosen to do rather than wait on FORD to figure out OTA, or to deal with the dealership's refusal or inability to help.so this is something we can choose to do and isn’t necessary like the over the air updates?
yes, you can choose to do it but it requires the purchase of some hardware items that are not cheap and a software license from Ford to use FDRS. Ford doesn’t push all the updates out over the air (OTA) or they don’t want to wait for Ford to push them. The dealerships also seem to not have a clue.so this is something we can choose to do and isn’t necessary like the over the air updates?

Ford is continually releasing updates. They show up in the FDRS tool ahead of time, but some of those are for testing / specific vehicles and tend to break other vehicles. The benefit is that you can get updates early. The risky part is you can brick the truck or have it not work right.In short, what are some of the bcm updates vs over the air that are necessary?
and why wouldn’t ford do the bcm updates for us at dealerships?
