Forscan changes - tweak your truck

Curious if Forscan works the same on a 17' F250. Does anyone know for sure? I have a customer that went to bigger tires on his truck and they require far less pressure than the factory specified pressure so his TPMS light is constantly different. Wondering if I can use my stuff to go in and change his specified pressure?

Can you backup your entire computer with Forscan at once, or do you have to backup every module individually?

Yes for the most part; '17 Super Duties can be programmed like '15-'18 F150s. 2016 & earlier Super Duties are a different story though and use the old style BCM format.

I'm active on a '17 Super Duty forum and here's their spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qf2gYgkhmsX-dnFO3Ki0nYUvr7aeLKsHsA0WxhDns1s/edit

I'm fighting an odd issue... I turned on the HVAC and Heated Steering wheel option a few months back. I'm an idiot and forgot the truck that I actually pulled the trigger on didn't have heated steering. So off I go to turn that back off.

Made the changes to the APIM to remove the heated steering... Rebooted the truck and it did nothing. So I restored the APIM, that removed the icons so I went through the changes again to just add the seat controls. All was good for about a day. Came home from work last night and that damn steering wheel icon is back. How the hell is that happening?!?

Correct... My buddy has my BT module this weekend so I still need to hook back up and see if it changed or what... Rode around for two days with just the seats showing then the HSW came back.
