Canada to USA programing

[MichF150]

Is it possible to reprogram or FORSCAN my canadian 21 Powerboost to a US version? Mainly looking to get the larger US speed readout. Mine is split with KM.

Use settings menu with steering wheel controls to change from KM to MI.

Use settings on sync screen to set gallons and miles.

Easy peasy. I have a Canadian F-150 too.

It does tend to reset back to KM when it gets updates. Annoying, but easily fixed.

That does not give you the large MPH readout like a US truck. It’s split with mph / km.

Change 4341 to 5553 in the IPC, Make sure the first number in the second column is a 1

4341

1243

Fill the bed with 65 cases of two-four Molson Canadian and it will start acting properly

Bonus points if there sitting in moose blood stains

Yes, just poke around in the IPC and APIM easy config modes and there are a few values you can change to US. I just had to change the same in my sisters 22 expedition that originated from the great north.

Awesome! Been wanting to do this on my truck. Thanks for the info!

Since I've only seen the Canadian dash what does it look like with the US setting?

Not really sure why you would need to?

Worked like a charm, plus is gave me psi as well for the boost gauge.

Got pic of how this looks?
I'm still curious what the difference is.

Had an OTA update install and I had to go set everything back to American units again, like I do every time.

Did you make changes in Forscan or just in the cluster? If you made the Forscan changes, those should report back to the mother database eventually, but maybe in you case, an OTA update rolls out before that happens, so then the values recorded in the Ford system just gets written back to your truck.

Forscan changes don't change.
I lose my user configured settings with miles showing and I have multiple screens turned on under "my view" that all get reset.

My last update was a PCM update too so I'm confused why the hell it messes with my dash but I'm used to it at this point. Every update means using steering wheel buttons to fix my settings.

It's annoying, and an odd issue, but not the end of world.
