My gasser came with AGM batteries, but it came with 2 batteries and dual alternators as well. Not sure if that has an influence on getting AGM or flooded.

It is.
That's one option I wished my XLT came with also. Good stuff.

Any reason the 'flooded" guys wouldn't just "upgrade" to the stock AGM?

If you buy it off the lot, that's not really an option!
(...at least not a cheap one)

I replaced the flooded battery with a Walmart AGM within a month of ownership.

Yes, I meant buying new batt's after delivery. Did not know how the stock AGM's compared in quality to others.
Motorcraft batt's used to be one of the best for years, back in "the day".

I would think an OEM battery would be decent enough that it wouldn't leak 4 months after I bought it. A good flooded battery is, well, a good battery... there is nothing wrong with them, and no reason it shouldn't last 2-3 years before needing replacement.

Agree. My other thought is if you go with stock AGM (over flooded), might be more warrantee friendly, if/when you have any charging or electronic issues..
(and a "crappy" dealer tries to start blaming aftermarket battery).

Besides using Forscan to reprogram the truck for an AGM battery, does dealer software also have this capability to change the charge profile to AGM?

Here you change to configuration which is the one below the wrench symbol. Go to the plain english one for bdy cm module config


Slew down to this


Then change it here.

thank you so much ! Mines a 24 also! I also added remote
start from the key fob by just adding the oem key fobs with remote start on them! Same frequency 433/434. It works awesome.

I got my AGM battery so question do you changed the battery first then run FORScan to change the setting?

hey do you have FORScan? If so would you take a screen shot of the settings for your battery? The BdyCM screen where the BMS configuration starts please
