IDS and the aftermarket equivalents work better if you tend to "color in the lines". They are different tools with different intentions.

Installed the Ranger 2.3 engine cover. Everyone has their thing - the tone / volume annoyed me when idling in my shop. Makes a definite difference muffling some of the 2.3's injection noise. Snaps / bolts right in place. You have to order the fasteners as well. I'd do it again. It's just...

True duals with 40 series Flows sounded pretty good on big block Chevs and BOP. I had a '81 Trans Am ('77 front clip) with a 455, mild cam, headers, alum intake, tuned Q-Jet and 4 speed. It had a custom run true dual setup into a cross flow Flowmaster. That car sounded epic. I'd take the...

A bit over 80lbs. It's not too heavy to lift solo (I manage to lift the hard top off my son's 95 Bronco with 6" lift and 35s as well) but it's REALLY REALLY awkward - because of the rear glass assembly, the center of gravity seems to be located RIGHT OVER the top of the rear roll bar, and there...

Well I just ordered the AFe high tuck single exhaust for the wife's '22 BB 2.3 It uses a mid muffler and totally gets rids of the rear muffler - I'll go with weight reduction - "yes - I bought the exhaust to get better gas mileage from the weight reduction.." It's not raspy, it's not loud -...

Crutchfield stuff showed up the day after I ordered (they're in VA as well, so that's one benefit for them). Got notice today the Plugnplay harness shipped. Odds are it'll get here Monday. I also ordered the AFe Power High tuck single exit exhaust and I have The Ranger Lariat 2.3 engine cover...

Roof Rack is pending pickup by @Busterbronco1 tomorrow.

Did you even read where the reason the Bronco wouldn't start was the fuse box bolts not being tight? In other words - nothing to do with FORSCAN? First off - the vast majority of dealer / service personnel will NOT make the changes you can make with FORSCAN. I literally know Ford Dealers that...

Fox Body Mustang 5.0. That's how. Perfect timing / storm. I was teenager when the Fox Body came out. I was GM guy (67 SS Chevelle 4spd at the time) the old 5.0 with the original Flowmasters sounded ridiculously good.

It's the same source data though. Forscan is simply a different program that does what IDS does (actually Forscan does more). The file format is the same file format that IDS uses. That data is identical. A good friend of mine retired from his gig as a Ford Tech, then service manager a...

Yup. I'm betting they'll send notices to owners of Broncos with engine batches that could be affected and likely a lengthened engine warranty.

Nope. The Asbuilt config file that you download from Motorcraft (using your VIN) is the EXACT same data a Ford Dealer would use with IDS to restore configuration. So if it's wrong, then no Ford dealer could fix it either. This isn't opinion. I've witnessed this restore process with several...

The lift is up to you. Unless the Big Bend is lifted compared to the Base, you DO NOT need a lift for 315/70/17s on a the right offset wheel. Crash bars come off that's it. No rub at full lock with the front end flexed. I've owned plenty of 4x4s - and IF we planned on wheeling this one hard -...

Using the Ford Pass points was a pain for me. Tried to give my dealer the business - they did a GREAT job on our order / sales / info / delivery / price - all great. Their parts department is a nightmare. I ordered the Trail armor rocker panel covers. $259 RETAIL on Ford's website. I had $220...

FWIW I've been using Forscan for over 5 years. A friend of mine tried a bunch of different changes on his brand new Mustang GT. All kinds of warning lights. He never backed anything up. I downloaded his original as built from Motorcraft (available online) hooked up, loaded the original file...

ALSO - MAKE SURE your battery voltage is good. I've seen that mess with people as well.

Here: https://www.obdlink.com/support/ex/ Concentrate FIRST on making sure your computer and Forscan is recognizing the adapter. I've seen that really sidetrack people with Forscan. Once you get it connected, worst case - you simply load your original as built.

The profile error tells you the adapter wasn’t connecting properly. Read the support info in your particular adapter and see if they recommend any particular settings in Forscan for their adapter.

I sent you DM. Also, when Forscan loads, and it prompts you to load the last vehicle / profile - are you clicking yes? If so - don't. Click NO.

Hook up FORSCAN and run the diagnostic to scan for DTCs Then use forscan to clear the codes. Have you tried that yet? That would be my first step.
