    Please help me with my new to me 2023 12" uconnect

    You have to keep the truck running because if you just leave it on run it will time out and shut itself off. They say it can take an hour for the update but my last two updates each took closer to 20 or 30 minutes.

    I can tell you the USB update does delete the old map and install the new on my '23. I assume it will work the same for newer trucks - it's the only thing that makes sense.

    Towing with new 6.4L

    whenever I get a new vehicle I hand calculate the first three fill-ups and compare them to the vehicle's displayed mpg. I have found on all my vehicles that the readout is quite accurate.

    Who else hates campgrounds?

    We are both retired and really don't have anything to "get away from". I am probably borderline phobic about other people's kooties so I prefer to take my bed and bath with me rather than stay in hotels/motels. We enjoy going to the beach and particularly enjoy staying at the Myrtle Beach Travel...

    Column Shifter Replacement

    Look at post #6. That's what came in the box in post #4. @Aluminati79 's concern was will a shift lever that fit a '23 model also fit a '26 model. The answer appears to be "yes". If you order the item in post #4 from BAMWHOLESALEPARTS.com you will get the shift lever shown in post #6. That's as...

    The title of this thread states 2023 - I didn't even notice the shift to 2021. Good catch!

    You can contact @Aluminati79 and ask him where I ordered it from. It'll be on the address label underneath the one I put on to send my old one to him.

    It's the box my Limited shift lever came in.

    Do ALL 6.7 SO engines get 3.42 gears?

    Other than more noise and vibration, mine operates pretty much identically to my erstwhile 2017 F350 DRW. Tow/haul is a function I didn't use then and I don't use now.

    That's understandable. I reckon I could send you my old shift lever and you could try it out. If it fits you know the Limited lever will also.

    Column Shifter Replacement

    Not difficult at all. It's been a couple years since I did it so memory is fuzzy, but it seems I used a 10mm wrench and a screw driver to remove the lower column cover and it took less than five minutes. I'm pretty sure installation instructions were included in the box.

    You have to buy the entire lever.

    Moryde Goosetech

    I have both. It's having that extra distance between the tailgate and camper that causes me to keep the Gen-Y around and even though I know the zero offset of the B&W will work just fine with my Cougar, my fear keeps me using the Gen-Y most often. I had read somewhere the offset is 8" so I went...
