How can this be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2016 F250 6.2 4x4 SB with 4700 miles on her. On my Trip A/B screens all of the boxes have the same exact numbers in them. I have reset the A trip at least five times and have never touched the B screen. How can the numbers be the same? Shouldn't A read differently because it has been reset? I mean they are 100% the same numbers, doesn't make sense to me. Somebody school me on this.

Disregard this post, I'm an idiot. I just realized I was only resetting the instant mileage screen, and not the trip screen. Still learning this truck.

Not at all. But in an effort to head off the next panic attack - when you reset anything, you have to hold the button down until the function actually resets, otherwise you simply pause that function. If you do pause a function, just push the OK button again and it will return to normal. Have fun!!

Yesterday I was sitting in my truck while my wife was in the store....all the window up and doors shut.....after about five minutes the odometer popped up on the dash (like it does when you open the door) and after a few minutes it went back off......
