Got these in yesterday and adding them to the build. The old ones were PlastiDip. I think these will go better with the shiny new parts and the new front grille.

Those are nice badges. Did you have someone paint them or did they come that way?

So, yesterday I got a handy dandy little tool in from Amazon that allows me to use FORScan to enable some features on my truck. Once I got home from work, I went straight to playing with some settings. The tutorial is very informative and the software is pretty easy to follow once you understand what you're looking at. So, I added the climate control to my radio, changed the boot loading animation, and the theme. Then I disabled the annoying chime when the door is open and the key in the ignition. These little mods were fairly easy to do and fun so now I have the bug for adding modules just so I can make the changes in FORScan. Lol.

Nice! Don't forget bambi mode, global windows or disable bulb outage to run LED's.

I will add bambi mode when I get from our trip to complete the build. I can't think of a reason to have global windows. Can you tell me a benefit? I already have resistors wired in for my LEDs. However, when my auto start/stop goes to stop, as it starts back up something flashes and that's a bit irritating. Would disabling the bulb outage correct this?

I plan to use global windows mainly in the summer time. Rolling down the windows to let the hot air out, then remote start the truck (a/c set to on) then I can roll the windows up a few minutes later. Thats mainly what I plan on.

That's a very good idea. I never even considered that. Now, I'm adding that to the list.

Now, what about the LEDs? I have LEDs everywhere and resistors to prevent hyperflash. If I disabled the bulb outage, would it prevent the flash of light when the truck auto starts when I go to take off after it auto stopped?

I can;t help with that, I have a lowly XL........lol. I purposely didn't use LED's until I did the Forscan bulb outages. No way was I hacking into my new trucks wiring. Then, I went and did it to add a 10 way power driver seat, go figure.
