May be but I have no idea what it is, I remember that (specifically using IDS) the only trucks with the option to change anything DTRL related was 13+, with the exception of activating them. Then again, IDS never offered the fog lamps as DTRL, only heads and front turn lamps.

I will be monitoring PIDs to try to see what the truck sees when it starts pulling "cooling" power.
Previously I had experimented using IDS to get my a/c colder by commanding the a/c compressor on, got er down to deep freezer temps which tells me the only parameter that needs to be changed to make a HUGE difference in the system is to keep compressor "on time" just a little longer.





No that's not a hazy picture, it's actually fog coming out of the vent.

I tried doing this with forscan but there's something else that's switching the compressor off. Trying to command it on through forscan doesn't work. Well it does, but it doesn't stay on.

In forscan there is an option that you right click a drop down menu with 2 choices, 1 of them is just watching, the other gives the ability to take control, much like IDS except it don't work. One of the things usually found when working with beta software.

Why does it say error in your pics for DTRL?

Does anyone mind sharing information about their trucks? I've gotten remote start options to show on my cluster and I've confirmed the setting to enable/disable remote start. This was from searching used cars and grabbing their VINs and as-built files. Now I'm looking for the right combination to enable auto headlights on the instrument cluster without having to deal with 4x4 and brake controller warnings.

I need a truck that's 4x2, w/ e-locker, without brake controller, auto headlamps, not sure about backup sensors yet and there may be other variables. It seems all of this is contained in the 720-01-01 module.

I've also changed my spreadsheet to show the possible combinations available and to which trims or options they correspond to. Everyone is welcome to edit it with any additional information.

For some reason It says that when fog or turn signal DRLs are used. Mine says that too. I have turn signal DRLs enabled.

I encourage everyone to d/l their asbuilt data asap just in case.

Thanks for this link Rnlcomp. Question - does Forscan allow you to replace whatever changes with this AsBuilt file?

Ok, got auto head-lights and remote start settings showing on my dash. My automatic headlight switch will be here today but I'm still waiting on my sun-load sensor before I can test it out. The only down-side is that the compass was re-added to my cluster, which my STX does not have.

Does changing anything with forscan affect the ability to go back to stock with a tuner?

Will my stock tuner file wipe any changes made, and if so, should we go back to stock first?
