@Ford Motor Company needs to communicate timely & clearly, and EAP testers should read those communications & stay quiet about any updates until general population members start to mention various updates.

It's tough because they don't notate that you received an update that was delivered early. I get the survey emails to pass feedback for updates, but that's for all of them, I've had EAP emails regarding updates that folks got back 6 months prior to me! I've come to terms that EAP really means direct feedback from operators and rarely if ever "new features early". I'm with you though, I typically do not discuss anything EAP when I know it is actually part of that program.

I’m EAP and received the .1 but not .2.
@TaxmanHog I just checked the EAP website and it seems the @Ford Motor Company has given up on even updating that site with past and current EAP Software available. The updates after 6.14 have had no details at all

The only emails I’ve ever gotten about EAP are the surveys after an update. I’ve never been told that an update was part of EAP before it installed and I’ve never been given any direction to not discuss an update. I was on the waiting list for a while and only got into EAP sometime around Feb of this year.
The terms of the program are mentioned during the sign up process IIRC when I joined, then later dropped out.
I think it would be helpful if they sent a communication to testers 24/48 hours prior to deployment date, many of you have shared that's not the case, but it might be they intend to not say anything until sending out the survey after the fact, reduce anticipation anxiety.

Did this ever install? It showed up for me yesterday but also failed with no option to try to install.
My first OTA in 14 months. I guess doing the updates through FDRS put my truck back in line for them.
However, it’s show as Not Completed.

Not what I wanted to hear since I don't have FDRS, I guess I will wait and hope.

Post your VIN over in this thread, and @rugedraw can probably take a look and see what caused the failure.

Got into the truck, reversed out of my driveway and onto the street, and felt the rear tire scrubbing. When driving off, I noticed that the locking rear differential icon on the dashboard was illuminated in orange. I pulled off the road and successfully turned it off. It seemed odd that it turned itself on, and a friend who is a lightning owner suggested it may have been related to an over the air software update. Has anyone else experienced this?
