That could be my problem. I haven't been able to figure that one out yet. I'll have to try your suggestion when I get time.

Is this under the FORScan program within the "data" folder's root directory along with all the other files already in there? Or can I make a subfolder for my back up files so it can stay organized?

Is there a way to change where FORScan saves and retrieves files from?

I do have a daughter, and a grand-daughter. You're an *** for raunching this up at the expense of someone's daughter. WTF is your point and what is your problem?

Yeah... that was just creepy. I just passed it off as an overly-clinical attempt to get a laugh. But anyway...

Is there any reason you guys could find for my dash screen defaulting to displaying trailer connection status every time I start the truck? The other day, I renamed a trailer in the system, and now every time I start up, the screen shows that trailer instead of defaulting to the first tab (Quick View, or whatever) as it used to.

I also found a turbo gauge I don't remember adding... for my 5.0.

My apologies, It was a lame attempt at humor that came off completely wrong.

Since you have renamed the trailer it thinks you are still pulling it....go back in and tell it to disconnect the trailer, then it will default back to your normal screen

I'll try that. Trailer status is definitely "disconnected," but this morning I noticed that the trailer mileage is going up. There's something wonky there. It shouldn't assume I've connected a trailer if I just renamed it.

Yeah you need to select "No Active Trailer"

I just came back to make that comment. There's no "disconnect trailer," is a matter of selecting "no active trailer" in the menu, which, I now know, accomplishes the same thing.

Sorry for getting OT... I thought this was FORScan-related.
