I have been looking at adding the Select Shift/SST function to my 2013 F-150 which did not have it from the factory. It was a Hertz rental truck that I bought. I have been slowly adding the parts to the truck to transform it into the factory tow package in order to safely gain the towing capacity. The last piece to the puzzle was the SST function.
A lot of research showed that MANY people have asked and even a few tried but there was no indication that ANYONE has been successful. I am here to tell you that it CAN be done thanks for FORScan!
Parts needed are an instrument cluster that have the “M” indicator which also will show you which gear you manually select, and a new shifter with the +\- buttons.
Once you swap the cluster and install the new shifter you will go into FORscan and open the module tab. Locate the PCM ID Block configuration and run it.
It will open a page that shows the VIN and a few various things, one of them being Select Shift transmission. I opened that up and changed it from “not equipped” to “equipped” and wrote that configuration. (Mine showed not equipped when I first opened it up. It shows equipped in the photos because I changed it before I took the photos to confirm the function)
Once complete I now had Select Shift transmission! I drove it and tested it out and it is 100% functional! No change to the PCM as-builts necessary!
I really didn’t think it would be that easy but it was! I’m honestly surprised no one has figured this out yet!
So for the few of us out there that wanted to add this capability, here is my gift to you!! Thank you FORScan!!

Well that’s good then! I was never able to find anyone who had success doing it. The many searches never brought any resolution and some of the other OPs never posted their results on some of their threads I found. No fault of theirs but sometimes their is so much information it is difficult to find your answers......
The forum search engine blows much like all other forums, in the future use google in this fashion, [input search criteria here] site:f150forum.com and hit enter. It should bring up every single thread with what ever your search criteria is.
Here's what came up using..... adding SST site:f150forum.com

awesome I’m gunna do this in a few days... my question is I see videos on after you upgrade the cluster the tbc fault shows and oil change warnings come up, how do you fix that?
Hi there i'm doing this same thing, im wondering what you did to get the mileage changed from the old cluster to the new cluster and if you did that step at the begining or at the end. hope your still on the forum

I bought a cluster with similar mileage and waited until my truck got to the mileage, since the truck was a spare vehicle I could stop driving until I had time to swap but it only took 30 minutes to do. There are people you can send the cluster to program the mileage but unfortunately Forscan has not been updated to write mileage on our trucks.
Success adding SST function!!
