Welcome to the forum. Maybe you'd have better luck getting responses if you posted down in the 6.4 forum?? Stick around to learn lots and get great help. Good luck

I don't have an answer for you except I've read every post on here for three years and I don't believe anyone has said anything about 3 let alone 4. Since you're still under warranty the truck must be low mileage. Maybe some of the mecanics will have a better answer. BTW welcome aboard.

I too cannot recall anyone having near the problem you are having. There have been a few corrupt ECM's but most were associated with Ford updates right at the dealership's.

There has to be a different root cause to the issue. Be sure you take all keys to them so they can be programmed.

If you have remote start I think i would quite using it.
