Forscan help

So how easy is this Forscan to use? It looks like there are two kinds (Forscan lite)? What are the odds a non computer guru like myself will screw my truck up trying to use it? Do they make specific ones for 2019 F350 6.7, or do they all work in the handful of brand names vehicles they list?

Forscan is Ford specific, for all Fords, it’s not hard, follow the September and play.

This video I put together may help.

It it is very easy to make changes. Just take your time and double check before you save any changes.

The September? Is that a code that I'm not aware of?

I have a printed copy of the FORScan spreadsheet in hand when I make the changes. I always write down the stock configuration for each particular key position and double check the new configuration before going ahead with it.

Just be sure to back up your as-builts before you start and you can revert any mistakes.

So what is the right Forscan to buy for a 2019 F350 6.7L Diesel? If I use it will it void my warranty?

It's free, you just need to buy a compatable OBD tool. Read the 1st page of the Forscan spreadsheet thread.
