.

Which ELM adapter did you get?

Nevermind...kind of answered my own question on this one. But we definitely NEED a sticky just like the 15+ trucks have. I can't wait to hear some more people's experience with Forscan for our 09-14 trucks.

Not all cheap ELM23 adaptors work. I have a OBDLink MX WiFi that works great.

Only the 13-14 have the option to use blinkers as DRLs. Well at least with IDS, haven't checked a 09-12 with FORScan to see if it allows the blinkers to be DRLs.

But a line code change in the BCM may make it possible. I just don't know. And I don't know what to change. I will be changing my APIM settings tonight with IDS. I may pull a VIN from a 2013 and look up the as built to see if I can figure out the difference.
