Appreciate some input.
Nobody has had their warranty voided by using FORScan and none of the changes will cause damage to any of the modules in the truck. If you need to take your truck in for service you can quickly revert all your changes to the factory values with the backups you should make before you make any changes.

Appreciate the quick response. Is there a proven way to change the speedo for 35X12.5X20 tires?

Choose one of the BCM values here and program that: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...#gid=110328400

Then in FORScan run a PCM relearn in the programming screen followed up by a TCM relearn in the same area.

I cannot open the forscan document. I am wanting to see what can be changed in the 2018 XLT. Any chance I can get it emailed to me?

Thank you.

Yeah, if you're .gov or .mil firewalled, it won't open. Probably not the Excel sheet either. Pull them down at home, pdf them and mail into work, should go fine.

Just made some changes for the first time yesterday and man that's so cool! Not having auto-folding mirrors was silly but now I have them along with fog lights during high beams, turn signal mod (3 up to 5), visible temps, heated/cooled seat buttons on screen and no more double honks. Thanks to those who burn the midnight oil to figure these things out! I'm starting to like my truck again. Now if there were only a 10sd to 6spd conversion.

Is there a FORScan mod for the flow through console light to go off? The one up front with the spring loaded door stays on all the time in my truck and I’m worried about battery drain.

Just remember if you are in Cold country to make sure you turn OFF the auto fold mirrors. They tend to bind and freeze up in the winter.
