    Have the plug with Bluetooth. I'm in the NW.
    You can borrow it or I can help you with it.
    Did a bunch of it on my truck a few months ago. I still have the spreadsheet printed out from the F150 forum.
    That would be awesome man, let me know when works for you!

    I am going to freely admit though, this is all foreign to me and have never attempted it before, but from what I am hearing on the forums is that it is pretty simple...

    It's pretty straight forward once you get in the software. Make sure you do a backup of each module before you do anything. Just in case.
    The part that took me the longest was trying to get the dongle to pair with my laptop via bluetooth.
    Make sure you register your Forscan software ahead of time. I didn't know about this and had to wait a day or two for the email for the registration. It's free but only valid for 3 months before you have to re-register.

    If you just want to borrow the dongle, you can grab it anytime.
    I'm available anytime in the evening after 6. Just PM me when and I'll reply with my address.
    If you need my help on it, earliest I can do is this Friday evening. Not sure how my weekend is shaping up.

    If anything we made a better decision because we had a consensus and were all on the same page.

    Reverse mirrors would tilt your side mirrors down when you throw it in reverse so you can see the curb/lines better.

    Global windows is the ability to roll all windows down with your key fob. Useful on a hot day.

    All front windows, unless there has been recent progress.

    This is something I need to get done (window roll down with the remote). I have it on my charger and love it especially in the summer. I never heard of the mirror trick and I could use that when I am backing up.

    You have to have the memory mirror option so that the mirror goes back to the original position.

    Anyone know what kind of deals you can get on raptors nowadays? I see Cam Clark is marking the ones on AT down about $8k. Gotta be more room...?

    I feel like you can definitely get a good deal on a raptor right now.

    Have you seen WTI? Haha good time to be in construction and driving gas guzzlers!

    Now that you can get the raptor-version ecoboost in the "regular" f150 Limited, that's the way I'd go for a "fast truck". MSRP is $8k lower, and it's more luxurious. Unless you 1) live on a gravel road or 2) like the image of the fender flares. Of course, I'm a cheapass and I'm broke, so it's all theoretical . . .

    Are there any test figures comparing the regular and high output Ecoboost?

    Well, from the Ford website:
    2.7L EcoBoost - 325 HP /400 Ft-lbs
    3.5L EcoBoost - 375 / 470
    3.5L High Output EcoBoost - 450 / 510

    If a guy was willing to put a tuner on their "regular" 3.5L EcoBoost you could do some huge things I have heard. And if your truck was not loaded down with the heavy luxury stuff, it'd be pretty fast. For a while they were selling a RCSB EcoBoost truck with 4.10 gearing. Bet that was pretty entertaining.

    The one spot where I disagree is that for a toy to play with for a couple years, raptor will hold its value much better.

    Also if it was me. I’d get something with a V8.

    Well, the Raptor has a V6 now. It's just you Chebby guys with the nice big Hot Rod V8.
