Did you get the error codes/conditions after changing settings and go through the ABS reset etc... ?
Yup went through the whole ABS reset thingy. Everything works great and no error codes or warning lights

Also, is there a way to change the readings to mph, fahrenheit, etc?
I don’t think you actually need Alfa to do this? I’ve found all that stuff in the settings on the center display

I found a setting to change the splash screen back to "2500 Heavy Duty", but if i didn't know any better, the graphics look different.

I also disabled the active noise cancelling - I always felt like even though the cab was "quiet" that the sound cancelling waves were messing with my head somehow... I don't get that anymore, music sounds better and I can hear things outside the truck again. Love it

Didnt realize the truck did this. Is this a setting in the vehicle settings somewhere? (not via alphaodb)

Is there a list of changes that can be made using Alpha? The program that Ford uses is Forscan, there's an on going Excel spreadsheet with a whole list of features you can change what settings to do change.

Curious if there is a similar list for Alpha OBD

My wife thinks I only have 3 guns

Has anyone ever tried to enable the exhaust brake in low range 4x4 ?

Is it shutting off and you're asking if AlfaOBD can change that?

AlfaOBD can't generally change any ECU controlled functions, like keeping the EB on etc, but the the tuners generally can.

I don't recall mine shutting off when I was trying to get the hill descent working, but I would have to check. I have the BD 2-low lockout so that makes it easier on the drivetrain to do so on pavement here.

Can traction control be permanently disabled with Alfa? Really tired of it…

I have the BD 2wd lockout also ( and love it) but in 4 low the tow/haul and exhaust brake are disabled, any recommendation on a tuner that may fix the problem?

No, it's likely going to be a custom tune. Pick your favorite tuner and ask them if they can do it.

Someone please throw me a lifeline, I'm drowning in posts! I read all 47 pages before I got AlfaOBD, but now I have it .... I can't find one of the posts I need. I've changed TPIS to TPMS but now want to change the alert threshold. Can someone reference me the post I need or post the info again please. Thank you!!
