I'm doing a super duty, how long did it take for the usb portion to finish?

I am doing recall 23C25 to replace the instrument cluster module. While doing the PMI, the FDRS instructs me to plug a usb drive into the laptop and then into the vehicle usb port. It seems like the usb software update does not finish even after 2 hours. Anyone having success with this recall?

Anyone have a cheap source for service manual dvd's? I use them when the internet goes down. I have saved a bunch over the years, 1992 to about 2010 Looking for some late ones.

I just did 21E01 on a F550. Immediately after, it was stuck in idle mode. I didn't even get it out of the shop. There were no codes in it, everything passed. WTF??? I did the idle fault procedure in the pced, watching egts, def injector duty cycle, drive on lot, etc... It came out of idle mode and ran fine on a road test, still no codes set. I have done these reflash recalls a lot of times before, but this is the first that gave trouble and I'm not sure why...

we were on reynolds, then switched to cdk because it was cheaper. never heard of pbs.

I was trying to figure the edge problem out for about for 2 weeks. I googled and check some computer websites. The answer is here, on DTS Big THANKS!

Did the master cylinder go empty at any time during the service?

I remove the front larger diameter water tube. I unbolt the one beside it, but don't pull it out of the engine block, just rotate it to the rear a little. Need to do that to get at the front lower cooler bolts. This is what the service manual says. It also says to remove the dipstick tube, I just leave that in place.

Its about 2 feet long from mac. Or weld a few shorter ones together. Makes the job easier

I just did my first EGR bypass recall on the F150. Basically took me all day. Carefully went through all the instructions step by step. Should be able to meet or beat the time on the next one. On my road test, the thing stalled at a red light. I was relieved when it was the start/stop system. This is the first diesel I drove with start/stop. If you haven't done one, you should have a extra long 1/4 drive extension and a 1/4 drive 8mm and 10mm flex socket, they will make things a lot easier. Be careful when positioning the cooler back on the engine. There is a coolant pipe with a 3 ribbed seal that has to be inserted first, had a problem inserting it. On the rear of the cooler there is 2 small 6mm bolts that attach the exhaust elbow to the cooler. Make sure you use a good fitting socket on these.

I looked up a P1177, can't find it??? Try disconnecting the throttle plate connector or monitoring the pids for it. I had one that the vref wire was broken at the throttle plate connector. Was making a intermittent connection. Was bucking and jerking at various times.

I also remove the hood to get my fat head in there. The hood has studs and is very easy and light to remove and reinstall. 1 person, 1 minute job.

Hour count was high. Problem was in the lower intake manifold, in the mixer, where the hot exhaust and cold air meet. Was plugged, causing the code. The pinpoint test does not address this, said everything is normal. In the older trucks, where you check the flow through the egr cooler and monitor maf while cycling the bypass, the maf would be steady, in the mid 30's. With a plugged cooler, it would read mid 30's and mid 50's depending on the bypass position. I was getting high 50's all the time regardless of bypass position. This tells me there is a exhaust restriction downstream of the cooler and the next logical place is in the mixer. After removing the lower intake and cleaning it, my reading went back to normal and the codes gone.

I have a 2018 with about 20000 miles that sets a P0401. I did pinpoint tests W and AZ. When checking flow through the cooler, it passes. Test says the system is working properly. I've probably done at least 100 egr coolers for this code on previous years and the pinpoint test always worked in identifying a restricted egr cooler. This is the first 2018 model year truck I am doing with this code. They have a different egr cooler and bypass valve compared to previous years. Without disassembling anything, I can't identify whats causing the problem. Any ideas?

What sockets are you guys using for the 6.7 injector hold down bolts? I find the T50 torx fits but does not insert all the way, A T45 torx is too small, loose. The T45 Torx Plus fully inserts and fits ok. The Snap-On FTX-500 fully inserts and fits all the way. I think this socket was for GM seat belts? Whats the proper socket?? Edit: The T50 I was using is actually a Snap On T50C, I don't know what the "C" means.
