Found an XLT one with 6,8xx miles on it. Bought for $150 shipped. Lol. Just have to put about 1200 miles on the truck then put it in. What did you change in forscan? Not sure if XLT vs STX will need some adjusting. Mine is 4x4 but the replacement came off a FX4.

I had to turn off things my truck didn't have like lane assist and parking assist. I also added the 4x4 screen that normally comes on fx4 which is nice.

What lights are those on the hood? Do they work well? Would you recommend them?
Great looking truck BTW.
The hood lights are Rigid DSS pro, I highly recommend these for a wider beam. The throw is fairly far and super bright! Rigid also does a good job in the quality of the product. Great durable waterproof housing and thick cords and connector.

how far pas the sides do those 60" bars stick out?
Past the sides of the truck? Or past the towers? They stick out maybe 6-7" past the top of the towers (which are pretty close to the shape of the cab, maybe about an inch narrower than the cab on each side) and they're still inside the sides of the bed by a couple inches.

I should have been more clear about holding the + button down vs just pushing it so I did an edit of the original post.
I know about shifting gears with the + - button. I was referring to the display. Yes it will display if you are shifting with the buttons. What I did not know was it will display the gear without you having to shift. If you hold the + button instead of pushing it quickly it will display the gear and not shift the gear. The transmission with shift like normal on its own but you can see what gear it’s in. That has never displayed on the truck unless I was shifting gears with the buttons either + or -.
I think he's saying if you leave it in drive, press the button to show the gear like you mentioned, then press the minus button down, you can limit what your truck shifts to. It will still shift like an automatic, but only up to the gear you have locked out. Also, you don't have to hold it. Just a quick press in drive will bring up the screen.

Example: put it in drive, press the button once, you gear number comes up on the screen. Press the minus button 3 times, it should highlight down to 7. Your truck still shifts automatically, but won't go past 7th gear.

I was wondering how to see what gear the truck was in, so this morning on my commute to work, I pressed the + button and the gear indicator bar came on the right-side dash screen. I could see when my truck shifted. I never went over 40mph and it stayed mostly in 8th gear. Screw staring at cell phones, I'm going to get into an accident watching all the displays on my dash.

I’m thinking of doing a dyno before I install the SPD high flow catted downpipe and SPD exhaust with 5 star tune. I am currently running a canned SCT 93 octane tune with no other mods.
Did you happen to do a non-modded base line?

If I am reading both posts correctly, your truck put down more power than modded PopNDrop with yours only having a tune? Interesting.
That’s Correct...!

My Truck was the R&D truck for Unleashed...Unless Specified, That Is the Tune you will get from Torrie. ..Mind you this is just his moderate drivable tune...He’s been tuning Mustangs for a longtime...He can make it hotter for the strip ..
