CEL on First Drive

Wow. Thanks for all the input.

Mine was built on Jan 14. I looped Mark Dodge into the issues just to see if they noted anything in the pre-trip inspection (which they didn't). They're recommending to clear the codes and see if they pop back on after driving.
 
does the truck drive normally with these codes, no loss of power etc? Once mine is ready I have to drive more than 1000 miles with it lol
 
Haven't experienced any loss of power. Just a weird smell coming from the engine.

The idle seems to have a very minor gurgle at times, but I'm also not used to I6 or twin turbos to know if that's normal.

My code showed up at 275 miles. It was not flashing and the engine acted normal so I continued driving it home. By the time I got home I had 999 miles.

Fuel economy was 13-14 mpg and the hands free worked. They only thing I noticed is the fuel tank was under heavy vacuum when I went to fill the tank.
 
Tracking on my PCM shows it should arrive in Phoenix today. I'm praying the dealer can get it installed and programmed with no issues. I'll ask the Service manager about some of these other issues.

I also asked them to check my Transfer case and rear diff fluids, as well as the alignment. Something tells me both of those have been forgotten with all the Hussle and Bussel over the PCM.
PCM arrived yesterday. Dealer called at closing time and said they were having trouble programming the new PCM. I mentioned there was a TSB out for programming and it stated it could take up to 10 attempts. The service writer was going to feed that information back to the tech today. Hopefully they get it sorted.
 
For everyone's reference - build date circled. This one was built on 12/14. Great idea to track!
That’s not the build date. That number is more aligned with when the window sticker was issued.
Build date is the MDH number (Month Day Hour) on the door jamb sticker.
So in the example below, that truck rolled off the assembly line March 12th in the 14th hour of the day.

what does the 6-24 in corner mean?

Yea, that does not make a whole lotta sense that it was produced in March and lists June as the date of mfr.?!?..I just checked my '20 and it shows 12/15/8th hour and 12/19 date of mfr....On ford window stickers, a similar date at the bottom of the sheet indicates the dealer invoice date...Vehicle usually ships from the factory on or around that date.

100% Correct - the date on the window sticker is invoice date - my bad.

Both are related to your evaporative purge system. There are 2 quick disconnect fittings/lines on your turbo inlet that come from the evap purge solenoid. The factory intake system uses a venturi to blow boost pressure through a venturi and draw on the evap line (venturi is built into the intake). Like there is a leak/blockage in this system. This is exactly the same system that was implemented on the 2021+ Alfa Romeo 2.9L TT. The venturi port is very small and if something got lodged in there it would block the flow. (just an idea... haven't seen this before)

The two lines I was talking about.

Not sure why tech's keep changing ECU's. The diagnostic system is working.

There is a factory PCM update - evidently a few of the trucks didn't get their speed limiter calibrated to prevent tire failure at high speeds. The update is related to this.

My truck was built in December of 24 for reference.
