Sayreville NJ and a home in Deposit NY
so my truck atarted making this wierd noise when it downshifted to 1st gear from second.. ecoboost automatic 4X4... I read a bunch of stuff about it on the old site and brought the truck in for service and they re flashed the computer... now i have a new problem... it used to be that id have a delay of about 5 minutes from the time i killed the ignition if i didnt open the doors to listen to the radio.. since they had it in service now as soon as i kill the ignition, i get a red box in the center of the dash accessories off to save battery... any idea if this is a issue where a preference was changed or something? truck runs and starts fine

Possibility of resetting the accessory delay relay. ICM (instrument cluster module) is reprogrammable as well.

As far as the shifting, give it time, it has adaptive learning. It could take a couple of weeks to "learn" your driving style.
