Default I need a Ford OBD11 programmer

I changed the tire size on my pickup and would like the correct speed posted in front of me. Any favorites ? Thanks in advance. Jeff.

As a serious answer, though, check this thread: https://www.f150forum.com/f118/forsc...-truck-348987/. There are several suggestions in the first post. Read the descriptions and pick the one that best fits what you're willing to spend or that you like the most.

Buy one of these.
Amazon Amazon
Then download Forscan.

Thanks for the input. I would rather plug in a scanner than getting into forscan.

You misunderstand. It's not an either/or choice. You need the hardware (OBD tool) in order to use the software (Forscan). If you're simply looking to reflash for tire size, Hypertech and Rough Country should both have an available tool to do that and only that. Forscan would be cheaper, however..

Forscan seems daunting. But if you read and re-read what you're doing and go slow if you're unsure, you'd have a hard time messing anything up.
