FORSCAN for hire?

I’d like to enable some features using the forscan, but I dont have a clue what those codes mean, how to input them, how to avoid messing something up, or generally how to use a computer for any type of programming. I can rebuild a carb, tear a motor apart, work on suspension, frame a hous, troubleshoot electrical etc. Computer work, no effin way., not on a brand new 70k truck. Anybody in sf bay area want to make some $$?

Any member here who is proficient at using FORScan that would CHARGE another member (except for any travel time, fuel or mileage, if applicable) wouldn't find himself/herself on my Christmas card list.

All I'm saying is: It's no sweat to help out another member with FORScan - it's not like you're installing a lift kit.

At least *I* would never charge anyone.

I live in the SE Michigan area. Anyone who needs programming is welcome to ask.

Agreed. I've gotten tons of free help from members here. I'd also help another member out if I were able.

Where exactly are you located in Bay Area? I'm in Sacramento driving many times a week around Bay area

What are people paying to have someone with Forscan to modify their trucks?

When I met up and helped another user here in the Seattle area, I said no money, will work for free, but beer is always nice. Was rewarded with a nice case of IPA. That's the absolute max I'd ever take for helping out another truck person.

Roadpilot, I may just take you up on that when my truck comes in. I live about an hour south of Chicago and a few tweeks would definitely be worth a drive. Ordered a 2018 ccsb 6.2 I think I would like to make a few changes to. Supposed to be built 12/5. Thanks in advance.

I’ve helped a few in West Alabama. The only thing I ask in return is that, when I inevitably leave my Bluetooth adapter in someone's truck, they get it back to me. I’ve come really close to forgetting it on two occasions so far....it’s only a matter of time.

Robeleo, I am in Novato. I'd be willing to drive to Sac though for a little help with the settings.
