[QUOTE="Traffic22, post: 1477373, member: 41102"] So I brought the truck to a local deal that I have a good relationship with. They have serviced various cars I've owned over the years. (Lots of Mustangs, a Focus St, and RS) I've mostly had good experiences with them. I purchased my Raptor last week form a non-Ford dealership, and according to the car fax it looked like it hadn't been to a Ford dealership in over a year. (Makes sense, sat on used car lot for almost 6 months.) I brought it in to have them check the TSB for the TCU re-flash, and asked them to update all the software while it was there. Got a call a few minutes ago the truck is done and ready to go. They updated the TCU and PCM. Service advisor said there would be a $215 shop rate charge for the work. (Allegedly 1 hour to do PCM.) I haven't seen the paperwork yet, but it sounds like they did the TSB work, and are charging me for the PCM update. It's been a little while since I owned a Ford (last being my 2017 RS.) But is this standard practice? With my BMW, if I take it to the dealer for service they check the software as part of the service and update as needed. I don't mind paying, but seems a little shady, especially since they were doing the TSB work anyway. [/QUOTE]
