OTAs cannot update everything based on information people have found. Even if you were at 2.5.3 from OTA, there would still be other modules with updates available and the only way to get them is FDRS.Do OTAs update all the FDRS available modules (excluding recall modules)? I understand that individual OTAs will not necessarily update all available modules in FDRS in one go, but if someone was fully up-to-date with OTAs would any modules be left in FDRS that wouldn't be part of a recall or future OTA?
For instance, are there any modules leftover between OTA 2.3.0 and those with Job 1s without BC who updated everything themselves?
Thanks!

@blackhawkriderThanks. For the ones that can only be updated with FDRS are the modules making noticeable changes to the user? Better shifting, MPG, etc.?
There’s no generic answer to this. For me, some of the updates have been purely prophylactic. So, my only current experience comes from knowing I’ve done whatever I could to head off a problem with a particular module in the future. It’s hard to quantify that kind of experience. It’s akin to preventive maintenance.Thanks. For the ones that can only be updated with FDRS are the modules making noticeable changes to the user? Better shifting, MPG, etc.?
did any of these module updates require the use of a USB stick for you ? I wish you lived cose by so I could borrow your tools ....TCU
APIM
GWM
TCU will most likely also trigger the APIM after it completes. Once those 2 (TCU + APIM) are done you'll likely get 1 or 2 GWM updates with one final APIM. (1 TCU, 2 APIM and 2 GWM updates in total is what I got)
Once all of these are done then you can tackle the IPC. As for the first post I do recommend using the Mongoose adaptor for these over the Nano and reverting back any forscan changes you made to any of these modules before starting.
All except TCU required USB stick to update.did any of these module updates require the use of a USB stick for you ? I wish you lived cose by so I could borrow your tools ....
I was intimidated at first too but it walks you through everything. You just put a blank USB stick in the computer. FDRS downloads the files and copies them to the usb, it then instructs you to insert the USB in the slot next to the usb-c port the one under your climat controls. Power on the truck and it starts updating. Pretty easy to follow.did any of these module updates require the use of a USB stick for you ? I wish you lived cose by so I could borrow your tools ....
you make it sound so easy. i am having a hard time spending the $500. I think mine is very close the dealer has done all but three updates to mine but now they have given up and will no longer help.I was intimidated at first too but it walks you through everything.
