I don't think it's going to hurt anything. I hope you can just enjoy your vacation and start thinking about it when you get home.
I will enjoy - I just don't like have something looming over my head like this. I just think that the updates to the software may have altered the way the truck drives. It has almost 3000 miles on it since the updates, so I don't think there is any further relearning for the truck to do. We shall see. Thanks for the advice.

I went ahead and had them R&R my front brake pads and turn the rotors and after all was said and done, they did not charge me for the diagnosis!!

Do you know or recommend them? Being from across the country, I went with the closest Ford dealer - didn't have a recommendation to go on.
I have not worked with them. They are about 20 miles south of me. I have heard good things about them. Looks like they gave you good service. Have a safe trip and hopefully things will run well for ya.
