I read that everyone wants to delete auto start stop, but my truck was deleted from the factory (I picked up a custom order that the guys wife wouldn't let him buy). Is there anyway to add it back in? I see where the button goes, but assume there's more to it than that.

because he wants to have a raptor and cares about gas mileage didn't realize you couldn't do both. news to me.
I wish I had auto start stop. I drive in a lot of traffic and its nice to know I am not just wasting fuel sitting there.

Have you checked if you can code it back in with Forscan? I don’t remember, but I think you can. My tune eliminated it, so that wasn’t something I focused on when I was doing my Forscan coding.

You must have never owned a Jen Juan. Them folks been bítching about MPG’s since 2010.
@Tommy21 : I wouldn’t sweat this. I campaigned the auto stop / start for about 2 years, until I upgraded the amps and then had to abandon it. I saw zero difference in economy as a result. In fact, the only time I’ve reenabled it by switch was being stuck in bumper to bumper OBX exit traffic one year.
It’s seriously not all that.
My suggestion: Find a better use for that button. Rock lights, for example.
You both have the same truck; make it happen. He gets auto start/stop & you get a truck w/ less miles…win win! Lol
Thought I was the only one that appreciated having it on my truck. If you are able to get it working look into the start/stop eliminator dongle. It keeps the switch in whatever mode you had it in and doesn’t reset to on every time the truck is started. I keep mine off and turn it on in heavy traffic or when stopped for some reason.
