Gear display in the instrument cluster

[Chops]

Ok was playing with Forscan today and you can enable gear shift number display in auto mode not just manual mode.

Good Job! I notice you’re in ECO mode. You’ll have to let me know your mpg’s as I never leave SPORT or LOBO modes

I’m lucky to maintain 20mpg I think. Only use my paddles - except reverse. Need to let the TCU do that shift.

Yeah I use ECO when I don't want the aggressive shifting and my exhaust a little quieter not for mpg, all the modes including Normal 1st through 3rd are sometimes too much when I want to just chill drive. ECO is the smoothest shifting and it reduce A/C compressor strain went running A/C. My around town mpg in ECO is only 18 to 19, I have a heavy foot.

I really miss this from my F150 - what was the Forscan value that you changed to see this number?

Well with the newer version of FORScan you don’t have to change values really anymore, it’s an enabled or disable. This is my screen shot of what I changed and I believe this is under PCM module.

Thanks, found it in IPC. Easy change - wild to see how long this truck holds out before it gives you 7th gear cruising (like 92kmh+).

I changed the same boost thing you did too, but haven’t seen anywhere to display that

what version of forscan are you guys seeing this option? I updated to the .71 version and don't see it.

Got it figured out. Thank you!

Anyone knows how to display gear in the instrument cluster?

Shows at the bottom when I’m in Manual and shift with my paddle shifters.

The gear will also display briefly if you use a paddle while not in Manual…just fyi.

The main thing is that it's in IPC (thanks to usedtobf150), not PCM as originally mentioned.

Then I hadn't used forscan in a couple months so I had to refresh my memory on how it worked. Doh.
