Humor :D We all wanted that delay to be gone and have instant gratification.
Forgive me, I have been married twice. I'm not good at reading minds :crackup:

I like to disassemble things.
It's official, they were updated.

Also, I had another go with launch control on the way home from work, and it is definitely better than it was.

Good to hear it made a difference. And thank God for FORScan! I just looked, it's 8:00pm EST, and your calibration update doesn't show yet. Your TCU must be on hiatus. It'll be interesting to see when it starts blabbing.

I also have been checking. I do find it strange that it has not updated since February 16, 2020. Back in February, I had less than 100 miles on the car, due to winter. I have almost 2,000 miles on it now. I wonder why it hasn't updated since then?

To be a little more specific on the difference in launch control, it definitely responds to taking my foot off the brake quicker. I wish I could say that it's immediate now, but it's pretty close. If I had to guess I would say the delay is half as long now. More surprisingly, the launch feels harder, as in it feels like more power is being sent to the wheels at the initial launch. It could be jus placebo effect, but it also feels like it pulls better now as well. I was only able to get up to 70-80 MPH each time before I had to let off, but its definitely better now.

Jaime: "My guy" at Service has the right attitude and I'm going to run that set of complaints you described by him. He's done stuff like this for me before with other issues so I'm hopeful although it's only a hundred and sixty bones if you have to pay for it.

Well, we both paid ADM, that should cover it :wink:

Also, use up your FordPass points to pay for it, if they wont do the right thing and eat it.

Yep, we paid, Jaime. :-)

One step ahead my friend, used all but a few sheckles for spare pahts. So if it takes a few more, I won't lose any sleep over it.
Me too buddy, spent all my points like a Christmas morning gift card.

Wow! This is great news. Thanks to all of you for doing a lot of the leg work on this. Would one of you be able to run my profile to see if my car is running the old software and is in need of updating please? Let me know if I can PM one of you with my VIN.

My point was that regardless of that specific shutdown, Job2 cars are likely to have the latest calibration at this time.
