Hints, Tips and Tricks
I got tired of going through all of these and searching for items mentioned. Therefore, I began a summary of just the tips and such.....no commentary or repeats. So far 48
Tips through 23 pages of this thread. Disclaimer, I did not fully edit it, nor did I pick and choose tips. I tried to summarize all with out repeating. I did add some of my own comments, which I noted. I should have this copied and pasted into a summary document sometime this month. As everyone kept commenting there should be a summary document, I just decided to do something about it. Draft V1.0 attached.

This has gotta be a JOKE!
24. Found this courtesy of Billy Mulek to extend your key fob remote starter range.
It works if you put the remote under your chin. You get more range, don't ask me why but I've tested a number of time. Just hold the remote under your chin and hit the buttons.

Much appreciated!!!
Regarding >> 17. Unless Ford has changed how it operates in the last couple of years, adaptive cruise will not bring your vehicle to a stop. Once speed drops below a certain level, a warning will sound and the cruise disabled.
**Adaptive Cruise does bring the truck to a complete stop. When ready to go, simply press Resume and the truck will increase speed based on distance setting to original Cruise Control speed.** I use this feature alot on the interstate/highways, works as advertised.

Some guys are saying only on '18s. ACC will bring my '17 to a full stop. Well, it did do it once. Being a skeptic I really don't trust it and don't let that happen normally.

Ok, Finally finished. Forum Page references are based on default posts per page, it should help me add additional Tip and keep it up to date. I attempted to put the links to the document and PDF in My sig, we will see if that works.
The file is too large to upload directly, therefore links:
