    Took the truck for a check up at the local dealer and he checked for official Ford updates for the
    engine and transmission. Both had new updates!

    Only thing I noticed on my way back home was that the gears were so damn smoother!
    The chime sound also went rather on the soft side.

    Will keep you updated on anything I notice further, but much recommended to do those updates ASAP!

    Guy also told me to check regularly as Ford are always updating.

    Are these dealer only updates or stuff we just need to cycle our trucks through when connect to wifi?

    I try to check monthly while connected at home.....

    Had my truck in for camera issues today and had the updates done. Dealer said they usually only do updates when something is wrong.

    The chime sound, please elaborate, what is it? I am asking as in a separate post I discussed a "whine". Maybe this is what I am hearing? Thanks

    The "Brake Engaged" chime for example! Of course not a gear whine!

    So went into dealer today for oil change and transmission update

    I told him a week in advance to make sure he downloads transmission update for my oct 31,2016 build

    Dealer says ford and the system has to give them a code before he can give update , basically code is saying ford will pay dealer for update

    How did y'all get your dealer code ?

    Thoughts

    I asked my service guy to do updates. He didn't say anything about a code just did it..
