I looked at your recent posts, you mentioned a stalled / incomplete download of this in the main thread, sounds like you might be in the EAP and not know it, spam folders?????

You can check at Welcome to Ford Early Access . They still don't like me.

TIPS to get past failed installs:

Make sure your 12v battery is fully charged.
Truck is far enough away from Fordpass and key fobs so the truck isn't interrupted.

IIRC, this type of failure may be related to a bad/corrupt download. Looks like you no longer have an Install Now option.

Battery was low. Stupid me I left it in accessory mode with power down timer disabled. Correct move would have been to leave car running as that should charge battery. I’m recharging the 12V battery with external charger for now.

Checking the threads on here a lot of people got BC 1.4 before 2025. Is anyone else like me w/o? I went to Louisville for the new year hoping to get the update. Still

You have to have had all the CSP updates done to receive.

Also see here. Guy had same message and Javier gave some tips that worked:

Agreed.

BlueCruise is horrendous IMO. It almost stuffed me into a guardrail once, and drifted into a backed up exit lane another time nearly sideswiping countless slower moving cars.

It’s especially comically bad if you’ve ever driven a Tesla that will drive you home and park itself in the exact spot in the driveway you prefer.

The rest of the Lightning truck is fantastic though.

Not sure if all the people that died using Tesla FSD would agree with you. Tesla's may be more advanced but a lot of their drivers think it's fool proof as Elon's marketing has lead them to believe. In my opinion, that makes it even more dangerous than having the much crappier bluecruise. Ford goes out of their way to state that you must pay attention at all times and be prepared to take control. If the user chooses to ignore those warnings, then I don't think Bluecruise is the actual problem.

I'll use these driving aids but I don't trust any of them at all. We are at least a decade away before I believe I can fully trust them, and that includes Tesla's software. By then, most cars should have FSD and talk to each other. Right now, there is too many unforeseen circumstances that just haven't been programmed in.

All recalls and minor updates prior have gone through. It took my truck to the dealership in October to replace battery module.
Are there particular updates that I need and my truck is not telling me prior to BC 1.4?
