the IDS is the cool little computer ford techs have and some small mechanic shops have that reads your truck. Its a new and improved Auto Enginuety (A/E)

Hey i keep trying the key fob remote start thing but cant get it to work.. is that a trick??? haha i was able to do "pit stop" with my viper remote so it makes sense. I hate having to cut the truck at the gas station when i go inside.

If I recall rightly you have to lock the truck, then lock it again so it beeps the horn.

Then press the remote start button 2x.

I'm not sure you can pit stop with the integrated remote start.

I have the older remote system in my 08 and it allows it but its not integrated (obviously).

I've got 1700 miles on mine, about 700 of them towing my 6x10 enclosed v-nose trailer with either landscaping equipment or my 4 wheeler inside. Truck is absolutely flawless! Averaged about 12-14mpg at 75mph going to PA last weekend which was about 3mpg better than my Ecoboost would have done. I haven't reset trip B which says I'm averaging 15mpg all around. I love this truck!

put the truck in park, hit the lock button on the key 2x then the remote start button 2x turn key to off, remove key, truck should still be running at this point

NAV screen went black today for 15 seconds or so, than came back on and said "Performing Scheduled Maintenance." How often does it do this? Anyone else had this happen multiple times?

I haven't messed with sway control I know pullin a boat with my bros f150 it really helped. You literally felt the truck compensating for the boat swaying awesome then. . . Haven't had issues with mine yet.

I turned it off pulling our 31' TT going across I-90 in Eastern WA when there was a pretty strong side wind. It does work but I think you burn more fuel because of all the braking. I'll burn the fuel to have the added stability. It will not compensate for an improperly loaded trailer.

I have a used SPE Full Lock kit if anyone wants it. I am selling my truck and getting a dually. E-locker not available on a dually. I cannot find the directions but someone here should have them. $30+ride.
