Reprogramming the in dash computer for larger tank??

I want to install the Transfer Flow 57gal main tank but I have the Lariat package with the trip computer in the dash.

I saw this post; will it work for a 2006 F-350 Diesel “Miles to Empty” in dash computer?

<o></o>https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/577227-successfully-programmed-dte-for-transfer-flow-46-gallon-tank.html
<o></o>
<o></o>Any other ideas would be helpful.

I called my ford dealer yesterday he is supposed to call me back today to see if he can do the reprogram of the trip computer in my 06 F-350. As soon as I get an update I'll post it here.

If I remember right I was told by Transfer Flow Ford changed that for the 05-newer trucks and it will not work.

I wasn't sure if it would work or not. I'm still waiting on my mechanic to call me back.

Over the weekend my Mechanic at ford called me and said he can reprogram my 2006 lariat in dash computer for the new transfer flow 57 gal fuel tank. Good news.
I’ll ask him later exactly what he did to do it and try to post it.

I am waiting for my reenlistment bonus so I can pick up the tank and take the truck to the shop. I'll try to call him later today and ask what method they use to reprogram the trip computer.

Thanks for following up on this process. It would really be great to have the fuel gauge read properly with the TF tank.
