Do you have keyless start? The problem was only with these where we got out with fob in pocket and closed door with truck running.. Good thing is we were able to turn this off with Forscan.

How to Adjust your MPG, because its most likely not accurate.
Take your hand calculated MPG and divide it by the LOM display MPG....then multiply by 1000. This new number is what you will change the AFE Bias to.
Mine worked out to be 934 because my hand calculation was 18.3mpg and my LOM said 19.6mpg. Example: 18.3/19.6 = .9337xxxx. Multiply by 1000 gave me 934 (I rounded up) as the number to use.
For Lariat and up 8 inch Display:
Engine off.
1. Press and hold OK Button on the left side of the steering wheel and don't release it until the end.
2. Press push start Button only (Not Brake Pedal) to turn to Accessory Mode.
3. Once Message “Accessory Mode” appears.... press the Brake Pedal and turn the Engine on.
4. Engineering Test Mode appears instantly. Release OK button.
5. Scroll to AFE Bias and push OK to change it to the number you calculated. Note, it takes quite a few clicks to get to AFE Bias.
6. Once done, turn off truck and it will update your mpg, including your Trip 1 and Trip 2. You'll see it has changed the next time you start the truck.
Note....quite a few of us have been successful just holding down the OK button, starting the truck, then releasing the OK button once Engineering Mode pops up.
For 4.2 inch Display:
Engine off.
Press and hold OK Button on the left side of the steering Wheel.
Continue holding OK button and start the engine...don't let go of OK button until "Engineering Test Mode" appears.
Go through the menu pressing and releasing OK Button until you reach "AFE Bias 1000" appears.
Press and release Down. Using Left and Right change 1000 to the Number You calculated. Press OK.
To leave Engineering Mode after you are done, just turn the engine off.

1. The Auto/Stop Eliminator does not default the system to be OFF. It remembers your last setting and keeps it the same.
So if the auto stop/start was last ON when you turned your truck off, the auto stop/start will still be ON when you turn the truck back on. If the system is OFF when you turn your truck off, the system will still be OFF when you start it back up.

2. The backseat lever/webbed loop on the driver side on a super cab (not sure about super crew) can be difficult to reach if you have man hands. Built Right Industries makes a nice effective product that solves this problem.

3. If you change your own oil. I know on the 5L V8 engines the oil drains right onto a cross bar and has potential to make a big mess if you're not careful. The yellow plastic drain plug is also prone to breaking so its smart to have a spare on hand. Ronin Factory makes a replacement drain plug that makes you able to regulate the speed at which the oil comes out, so you are in much better control and are less likely to get oil all over your garage floor.

4. If you decide to install LED Low Beam headlights, you might run into a problem where your factory dust covers don't fit back on properly. The dust cover size is 85mm and amazon has some covers that will work for you. You can reuse the factory dust covers for the High Beams.
5. If you like to customize and are thinking of getting some new badges to replace the F150 logo or the Ford Ovals. Billet Badges are an expensive option, but also quality.
There are holes underneath the F150 badges, so you'll need a minimum badge size of 1.5"x8" (at least for the 2018 models) to cover all the holes.
