if you manually change any of the values you need to calculate the last checksum bits to equal the new setting.

hey i was wondering if you had a chance to see if you could get the dash display to show fuel usage?

Best to just get a MXBT and a Windows BT or BT with a adapter laptop and the Windows latest Forscan beta.. If you don't want to end up like me and buy a lot of stuff you regret.

But that's discourageing if yours was on hot and you still aren't happy..

My truck is a 2015 model year, build date September 2015.

I don't mind the steering wheel too much in the winter, but I notice that the heat is more "warm" than hot and fluctuates. I'm only tinkering with it now since I have the ability to do so...

Open up the tailgate and see if the switch is there. There is a TSB out on the 16's on how to turn of the warning when it's stuck to on.. They just turn it off in the tailgate with a jumper.

I never noticed a light about the tailgate on my IP.. So that might be missing also? Need a picture of a 16 with the light on.

I tried putting IPC data of a 2015 build into mine but I couldn't get gallons used to show up at all. I only tried 1 particular VIN's data then moved on to something else. Did all 2015's display gallons used?
