So I got the install done on my ST emblems this past weekend, introducing the 2019 Ford Ranger
ST FX4....I think I've already got several folks thinking there really is a new Ranger model ;)

Looks great! Have you used forscan to change your welcome screen on your infotainment to the RS logo?

I painted my 49 Ply 57 merc fiesta red with a brush. I got lots of runs but it looked good from a distance. I really like Red but in AZ it is hot and the cactus pinstriping shows too much with any color but white.

Had no clue that was such a thing in FS. I haven't used the tool for anything, but thanks for the heads up.
There are a number of startup/welcome screen choices built into Sync3. I use the Ford Performance Cobra setting but there is one for the RS you will like I'm sure.....
Don't pay attention to my dirty truck.....lol

Must get tool. What does it cost and how difficult is it to operate? Also, any issues with Ford and the warranty? Truck only has 700+/- miles so far.

Skipped work yesterday and chased some walleye around Lake Erie for a few hours. The Ranger had to drag my other Ranger out of the garage and out to the lake.

LOL....Ford....warranties. Seems to be a hot topic in my world as I am following a thread where another member blew the motor on his heavily modded Ranger. Anyway, my service advisor told me that if I mess up my Sync playing with Forscan just bring it in and he will fix it under warranty. That being said, who knows with Ford. I can tell you A LOT of folks in here tweak their Sync systems and upgrade to beta-versions of Sync. The big thing is to back up your stock files on a usb jump drive before you mess with anything. To access the Forscan programming you will need an OBDII cable and the Forscan software on a laptop. The links to these products can be found in the Wiki Forscan thread on that part of the forum. There is too much to go into, but it's really not that hard to do or access if you have a basic understanding of the program. Get in there and read up. Get your cable and software, backup your files, and start tweaking. You can do ALL kinds of things in Forscan. Changing the welcome screen is just the tip of the action. You can change the programming on some exterior lighting, like your DRL's. You can change your fogs to act as cornering lights...etc.
You can turn off the chimes on your doors, turn off the double honk when you leave her running and walk with the key fob. I'm running on about this....read the other thread..

Cost....cable cost me $33 during black friday sale (regular $60 )
Forscan program is $10 for 1 year access...
