So maybe an EPAS reboot should be performed as part of the maintenance routine?

GM IFS won’t take abuse like a strait axle.

Ford puts Duratracs on Tremors. The Duratrac is a pretty aggressive AT tire

Looks like my truck had a issue with the EPAS system for some reason.
After the fuse pull reset, it has been good. although I haven't driven it for the last few days.
The GM IFS is more finicky with bigger tires. They are a bit harder to align since both camber and caster are adjusted at the upper control arm. The adjustments can get knocked out fairly easy. although I never had an issue running 35s on them

So after lots of trouble shooting, I still have a left pull after 2 alignments. I am under the impression that pulling fuse 9 and 29 under the hood will reset the steering system on my 2019 F250 XLT? Do I pull the fuses, then drive it and then re install them? Or will simply pulling them for 15-20 minutes reset the module?

I'm sure unrelated to your condition but I was noticing a left drift in my 2019 one night. I had never noticed any pull or drift before in this truck. That same evening I picked up on a new sound, similar to the sound an aggressive tire might make, or one with some weird wear...my tires aren't aggressive, and no weird wear so I found this to be strange. Well, I recently had been exercising the front hubs to make sure they move freely, I guess I had inadvertently left the drivers side hub locked. That was the source of the pull/drift and sound.

Nope, neither is locked, that's one of the many steps I took trouble shooting. I removed the Bilstein stabilizer, no change. Removed and greased all caliper slide pins, no change. New Ford trac bar and drag link w/end. I had a bad passenger u-joint, replaced that with a entire axle shaft assembly. New Bilstein 5100 shocks all around. Rotated all the tires front to back, then side to side, played with going up and down pressures in the tires up 5, then 10, then down 5 from the original psi. Nothing seems to make it better. I was thinking ball joints making it pull or possibly the driver u-joint needs replaced as well. Truck does have 130K on it.

4wd6.7L, I get what you are saying. So on my 2019, there are 2 fuses, one under the hood, 1 in the cab. In the cab is fuse 20, its description is "active front steering module" and under the hood is fuse 45 same "active front steering" description. Neither of them actual control anything on my 19 XLT?
