There's a video on post #1 in this thread on connecting with FORScan and directions how to enter the programming screen so I'll pick it up from there:
1. Select the IPC Module Configuration (AS BUILT Format) by clicking it and hit the play button at the bottom to take you into that.
2. Scroll down to address 720-07-01 and there will be 12 editable numbers there. Change your value in this position xxxx xx5x xxxx (whatever number you have in the position where the "5" above is, change that to 5) and press the "write" button. You will get a warning about checksum but ignore that and continue with the write.
3. A message will pop up asking you to cycle the start button on & off, hit "ok"
4. Press the square "stop" button at the bottom left
5. Press the Automobile picture on the left boarder at the top, then the disconnect button at the bottom left
That's it, all done
Edit: Example: I originally had the value of 720-07-01 8409 8EA0 604A and then changed it to 720-07-01 8409 8E50 60FA

Post #1 says "A FORScan extended license (you must make an account on their forums and be approved)". True?
Also, on your step #3...do I actually cycle the engine start button on/off or do I jus press "OK"?

Plug everything in, turn the truck on (ACC only, do not start the truck), start forscan, do the programming, flash the computer, turn off.

I guess we need to point out that turning it on is done by pushing the start button with OUT putting foot on the brake... On is different than starting or running, it's just like in the old days where you turned the key to on,, or turned it to start..( pushing brake pedal ).
