Yes please!! If you can figure this out for the 21-24’s I’ll Zelle you 6 pack $$

I zelle you 2 dollars lol agreed with Automan21

You want i give you the engineering numbers even from the lobo steering wheel.

So for the 25 Lariat without paddle shifters installed. Is it possible to enable the gear indicator using Forscan? Some coding guys are able to enable it. But nobody has shared this info here.

@EONR24 Have you contacted and purchased a custom tune by Ryan Martin at Engineered Motorsport Solutions? I have been told by my tuner that they may not be able to change "L" to act like "M" manual mode with my SCT device. I am curious what your findings are and if you have been successful at it like @Jtitzer56.

You mean someone actually got the M button to work on the shifter?

Yes with the cobb long time ago lol

Necrobump - How? I swapped paddles into my '22 and without a proper manual mode it's next to useless. I only ever really use them to get it to stop lugging up a slight incline. If I get a Livernois tuner, would they be able to get it working? Or should I stick to Cobb?

Tuners with the Cobb software paired with the Cobb Accessport can have the module “turned on” to keep your gear selected when you hit the paddle shifters. I’m not sure what it all entails but the tuner would know what to do or they can call Cobb Support for help.

Also to note, I have heard someone with the HP Tuners device and software changed the time the transmission takes over the shifts from around 5 seconds to 60 seconds. So that sounds like an option to go with too but requires you to buy a HP Tuners MPV device and credits for the vehicle.

As far as the Livernois Tuning device, I am unsure how much ability they have when changing transmission settings. Unless someone can chime in, I can only suggest you call / email Livernois and ask them if they can change the transmission settings to keep the gear selected instead of allowing the computer to take back control.

I Hope this was helpful. I have a tune with a SCT device and my tuner is unable to edit the time the shifts take over as well.

That’s incredibly helpful, @Chris25James, thank you! Out of the two currently known options, I think I like the Cobb just for simplicity, but the more I read about HPT it seems like there might be a bit more flexibility. I will keep digging and email Livernois for clarification as well. Thanks again!

Forscan Pcm thats all i had to do .

But if you want to enable more stuff with digital cluster i suggest going to IPC and enabling others stuff in there for SST.

Is this just to make sure the module is happy in the right mode so no check engine light? My paddles are working without any software updates.

I’m using my paddles exclusively with my 25 Lobo…

Some random comments…

Pushing the “M” button in center of rotary shifter activates the manual mode. Will illuminate the “M” on the dash PRNDM and indicate the gear you’re in.

Computer will upshift without the paddle if you reach high enough rpm’s. It will shift from 1st to 2nd occasionally - but the other shifts I typically do before the computer does.

The computer will downshift automatically when you come to a stop if you let it - I almost always let it. You’ll hear & feel it auto rev matching as it downshifts. The gear indicator on dash will reflect the downshifts.

Shifting in Sport Mode (my regular) is quicker than Normal Mode. Normal Mode will delay for almost a second but Sport (& Lobo) Modes are instant shifts.

If you attempt to upshift prematurely (lugging) it will prevent you & flash the gear you’re in on the dash. I’ve never attempted a “money shift” but I’m sure it would prevent it. Anyway, it is sequential shifting ie you can’t paddle directly to first from sixth etc.

The computer algorithms managing all this are very impressive & smooth!

It is very fun to drive using the paddles in Sport Mode. Like driving a “stick” without having to deal with that old fashioned clutch pedal. It feels & sounds like driving a manual - but I don’t have to worry about stalling. “I never stalled my manual!!” some will claim. Really? Never? C’mon

Pretty much the same on my 23 XLT. Just wish I could swap the L button for the M and have it display on the dash. Otherwise it’s pretty fun to be able to change gears.
Nothing beats a manual though

Yes.

Yes.

Awesome! I have a p0443 code now. where do I find full diagram of the right pcm cable? Is cable 1 and 3 the only cables for the evap purge valve? Might have to check the harness I didn’t touch those so I don’t know what is happening

Pin 6 and pin 5 on the Pcm conector

Sst shift up pin 6
Sst shift down pin 5
