Another good trick!! Thanks for watching!

Thanks, solved my puzzle! Never took the time to figure out why my display kept showing the gears I was going through, cool display, now I know!

Mine was an XLT… I’m also not sure if the ecoboost drive modes are different than the V8s?? I would assume not as it’s mostly throttle response and mapping but honestly who knows…?? I had too many issues with my ‘18 which is why I sold it, very disappointed… I thought buying a newer model I would have had this truck for some years but the problems out weighed me keeping it. Thanks for watching!!

@@jlautomotive6349what problems did you have with your 2018? I just bought an 18’ 5.0 xlt with 50 k miles

2018 F150 with the 2.7… I think that was my first mistake. I work with 4 people that have that motor and all swear by it… Oil Pan replacement(under warranty) Transmission re-flash(under warranty) 2nd Transmission re-flash(under warranty) Last straw was a puff of blue smoke upon start up at 43K… Traded it in for my dream truck which is a Jeep Gladiator, I could not be happier!! Should have bought the 5.0 LOL Thanks for watching!!

My 2017 only has 3 drive modes. Normal, Tow/Haul, and Sport modes. The 2018 and up w/10 speed has the Eco and Snow/Rain modes.

Not sure… maybe try resetting the steam? Unplug the battery and let it reset?

All of the hacks are not permanent unless you use Forscan… then you can go in and change settings and that screen design! Thanks for watching!!

Awesome 👏 tip!! And thanks for watching!

Whats positive traction?

Yes, on the shifter towards the bottom there should be a button marked DM… When you push that button, in the gauge cluster will pop up the drive modes and using that button you can toggle between the different modes… I hope this helps! Thanks for watching!!

​@@jlautomotive6349I only have sport and tow haul on my 16 lariat f150

Maybe I should try…. This…. lol Thanks for watching and happy wrenching!!

Thank you!! The Bambi mode seems pretty cool, double honk when you get out? I have a physical key so I would assume my truck doesn’t have that feature?… I will definitely be looking into this and probably make an over view video covering these things! Thanks again and thanks for watching!!

@jlautomotive6349 yeah I think that's a feature for people with pushbutton start. I'm in the same boat, I have a physical key and yeah it'd make a good video. There's a ton of info and documentation out there. Of course some features limited to the trim you have.

I programmed my truck using Forscan. Worked flawless

Same 15 f150 5.0 king ranch

Could possibly be 2018 and newer F150s? I’m not sure why it wouldn’t work as they’re the same interface… Unfortunately I don’t have my truck anymore (many reasons🥺) One would assume that it should all work regardless of year as long as the software is the same… sorry I can’t help but thanks for watching!!

I saw another vid saying hold the 4 and eject botton for the cd. It worked, although I can’t get the theme change to stay on 😅

@irishcanadian6373 ok, well I’m glad that worked for you… as for the screen change I’ve heard other people say you need the ForScan to make the change permanent. I tried like hell because I really liked the Lincoln version but it would never stay set. Glad you got it, again thanks for watching!!

I've got it to work by pressing the cd eject button on the next song button on the dash

Not sure… I thought they all came with it. Wish I knew more for you, thanks for watching!!

​@@jlautomotive6349 Turns out the 2016s (6 speeds) eco is the default mode , then you can put it in Sport/ Towing

Well that’s weird and shitty… default is eco 🤦‍♂️ Personally I hate all these new “fuel economy” standards. Well at least now you know and thanks for sharing!!

There maybe a setting that needs to be changed… also not sure if your talking about while your driving there is a setting for the volume going up and down depending on the speed of the vehicle… there should be a setting for volume in the settings you’ll just have to look around, I no longer have this truck so I can’t play around to see… But thanks for sharing and thanks for watching!! Hopefully this helps?!!

@@jlautomotive6349why’d you get rid of this truck? I love my ‘19 F150

Honestly I loved the truck, perfect spec for me with all the chrome. This was my 4th F150 but with only 43K miles I was getting blue smoke on start up. It had the 2.7 ecoboost (which was fast) but had already been in the shop for a few recalls and problems. Also being transparent I have owned multiple jeeps over the years and have wanted a Gladiator since they came out and seeing the Jeep tows the same as my Gladiator I traded it in… I do still miss it as I had looked for 3-4 months before buying it but the jeep is so much fun!! Hope this answers the question?! Thanks for watching!!

@@jlautomotive6349 what year was yours? And what’s the blue smoke?

Blue smoke on start up is either bad rings or a bad turbo… I bought this truck with 32K miles (sold @ 43K) and was planning on having for 10 years… that quickly changed. It was a 2018, took me forever to pick the perfect spec and I’ve owned many F150s all with 180K+ miles so I was expecting to have this for a while… I am completely turned off of forced induction engines… never again…

You need to turn on with admin key. Then go into key setting and turn off the speed control.

There are different ways you can change or fully deactivate it. MyKey, FORScan, the accelerator, a tune (chip) or reprogramming the ECM. I don’t have one but there are videos you can look up… I no longer own my ford so I can’t play with it. The top speed of my ‘18 was 102 mph and plenty fast enough for a full size truck… lol But yes 80 would drive me crazy and I exceed that regularly 😂 Hope this helps… thanks for watching!!

@joed4753 Thanks so much,did not realize had to use other key to turn this off.

Is there a way to reset oil change mileage interval and DTE with the 36 gallon tank? Edit: 2016 F150 XLT 2.7 ecoboost

Non of these changes are permanent unless you get Forscan… that’s the only way to make changes within the program permanent… Thanks for watching!!

​@@jlautomotive6349you can make permanent changes without forscan by disconnecting the battery after you make the change from what I've heard. Only works for 1 setting at a time.
