A fair amount research. I usually jump all in on projects and learn as I go along


​​Now I'm just working the bugs out and plan that all will work out well. I got the hardware part figured out now it's just the software tweaks . I'm a Mac user so it looks like I'm buying a cheap laptop tomorrow to get forscan to work properly. I will follow your advice and guidance by using a VIN from another vechicle with the same configuration . At that point I will amend the variables to tailor it for my truck. Thank you!

Make sure the truck is built in or around the same time as Ford makes changes based on build dates.

Gen 12s are completely different from Gen 13s. The bits are in completely different places the lines themselves are different as well.

I updated it and so far I would consider it a success. I was able to make the necessary adjustments. But only time will tell of course. Thank you all for helping me......
