I have made some small changes with Forscan. Basic things like the cornering lights, display load-up image, etc.
Do I need to set everything back to stock before installing the tune?

I have flashed my truck with the FP Tune (uninstalled and reinstalled a few times) then removed the FP and installed the Unleashed. I have never reverted my Forscan changes. YMMV but take that for what you will.

So your Forsan changes remained intact?

did you mean to ask me? If so, yes. All my changes have stayed. Fogs are DRLs, tire size change, fuel tank size change, etc.
Yes, that's why I replied to your post. And thanks! Good to know.

So… not trying to be a dick, but you quoted the original post, so… just making sure you were asking me.
Sorry, I actually quoted the OP. Thanks for the completely unnecessary reaction.

I've made similar changes on mine, tire size, bambi mode, etc., and they all remained intact when flashing the ford performance tune. You should be good

My 2019 Ranger was the R+D truck for Unleashed. He had it for one week and it came back Amazing ..

I like it so far, but I need to see about why my economy dropped so much. I went from 18-19 with the FP to 15 with the Unleashed. I am going to change back to the FP and see if my mileage goes back up. If it does, I will reach out to Torrie. I also have charge pipes to install (arriving today) so... that will extend my testing.

Did your Unleashed tune include the transmission rule changes? Taking out lug mode could explain reduced fuel mileage. So could enjoying your investment.

it does have a shift strategy. I guess that could be it, but I drove in tow mode for the 50,000 miles before that and, its basically the same shifting. I will drop the FP tune back on and see if my mileage goes back up. If it does, I know the Unleashed tune is doing something. If not, I know my brain is misremembering.

Finally you are the same mileage of us other mere mortals lol! Hope you can get it figured out.
