First, you'd have to explain what a sluggish radio response means...

I also had an update performed. Ironically it worked perfectly until I shut off the truck. Upon restart sluggish came back

If it's electrical/electronic and it's wonky on an F series truck, check the batteries. Can't hurt anything to check.

Did check batteries and alternator. All good. Update people have no idea either but believe radio itself is the culprit but no concrete proof at the moment. Showing no codes either
