Programmed changes?

I have an appointment on Monday to have my DRL lights turned on.

Are there any other cool settings I can ask them to activate or deactivate?

I plan to ask the tech to drop the TPMS threshold 10 pounds although I suspect they will play the liability card.

I was thinking of having the passenger chime turned off.

Any other ideas? I don't even know what is available.

When I had my Z06 I had the TechStream manual so I printed all the pages and highlighted what I wanted changed. The tech was surprised but happy to help since it was easy for him.

Thanks!

My dealer dropped my TPMS down to 55 psi, no questions and no charge.

I would be interested in any kind of list of changeable options too. Probably many, many of us would be.

I got the DRLs turned on today. The dealer did not charge me. The service guy seemed a little bewildered by my programming request.

My TPMS does not go off until less than 50 PSI so maybe it is programmed lower already? I have Michelins on 20" rims. When I bought the truck the TPMS was squawking at me (They were 45PSI at the dealer, probably t make the ride smoother and easier to sell?) but I have run the tires at 60F/55R for the whole time I have had the truck with no TPSM alert.

What is the deal with the rubber valve stems? I much prefer the metal ones.

I hope that someday we can compile a list of all the "normal" programmable values. I bet there are some pretty cool ones available.

I am anxiously awaiting the February availability of the Ford IDS system upgrade that will allow reprogramming fuel tank capacity to match my Titan tank.
