Ok, finally got connected to my truck with ForScan for the first time. Pulled all stock as-builts. While doing that I noticed some DTCs in various modules. BCM had bulb out for all front lights (converted to HID/LED). What concerns me is I have a P0316 - Misfire Detected On Startup (First 1000 Revolutions) in PCM, and several codes for modules losing connection with other modules.
Is there any reason to be concerned about these? Should I clear and see if they come back? Don't want to do anything until I figure these out.
Thanks,
Brandt

But that's the thing. I hadn't made any changes yet - only read the as-built. I trust y'all, so if you say I'm good, I'll clear. Just wanted to be sure before I removed evidence that I could take to the dealer.

If something is a real issue it would likely come back again after you clear them.

If you do reverse tilt/dip and have mirror clicking sounds or position issues. Try this:
The mirror automatically adjusts to a set
position, but you can change the position
by doing the following:
1. Switch the ignition on.
2. Select the mirror you want to
re-position.
3. Put your vehicle into reverse (R) and
let the mirror automatically dip to its
set position.
4. When the mirror is in its dipped position
and is no longer moving, re-position it
to your preference.
5. Put your vehicle into park (P).
6. Use the memory preset control to save selection.

I have applied for access to Forscan forum now and have downloaded the software. If I run into issues, would anyone that has this fully figured out be kid enough to facetime/ pone call to help?
I really only want a few things done. the temp numbers over gauges, bambi mod, horn honk when exiting, folding mirrors, and roll down/ up windows with fob..... think thats all i really have seen I want to do.
also, thought the OBDLink MX would come with a Bluetooth transmitter to go from computer to it... but apparently not. so do I need another computer to do this?

If your laptop doesn't have built-in bluetooth, I'd recommend buying this usb bluetooth adapter (I've used it and know it works with the MX BT): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009ZIILLI/
