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.

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.
