FYI - when you save AsBuilt files or any Forscan files - they are stored in the Windows "Document directory in a Forscan folder. Therefore, you should regularly make a backup of that folder and store the Backup Folder on a thumb drive. Otherwise, should your computer's hard drive fail and you had to reload the Windows system - you would lose all the Forscan data forever!

Your video is great and very informative. I have a 2003 Lincoln Navigator and a 2011 Ford Taurus SEL. My interest is mostly for diagnostics, such as misfires, etc.. The Navigator is now 20 years old. With that in mind, will ForScan take care of diagnostics for both vehicles? Thanks for the feedback.

Awesome video, thank you so much for doing this! I'm pretty sure I asked about it in one of your previous videos. Lol. Maybe a shorter video on recalibrating the speedo for your tire size would be great. I'm sure others would like that as well. Your truck looks so sick since you put the wheels and tires on it!! I love a white truck with black and milled wheels. I've ran that look on my last 3 trucks and my current F150. You should load yours on Custom Offsets gallery if you haven't already. Thanks again for the good 21 F150 content! Wishing you prosperity and health my friend. Apologies for the long post, but I couldn't let it go after watching a 17 minute video of you in UGA gear. Haha. Die hard Auburn fan here, War Eagle!!!

Watching this video you put out was very helpful and made me feel a little better about FORScan. I plan to disable ASS and see about Global windows. Are you able to disable Cylinder Deactivation in FORScan? I have a 5.0 with an aftermarket exhaust and you can really notice it when it kicks in.

I had a question, I recently got my OBDLINK EX and when I first plugged it in, it scanned the Truck and created a profile, but I erased the profile because I wasn't able to open anything on forscan. So I am trying to create a new profile but it won't read my 2021 Ford F150 anymore. It just keeps saying unable to connect to vehicle, please make sure ignition is ON and try again. I have tried deleting and reinstalling forscan but still no progress, I am using a Dell XPS 9500 with windows 11, and connected through a USB c to USB A dongle. Any tips on getting forscan to read my truck and making a new profile? Thank in advance.
