You can always start the truck in engineering test mode, and use the digital speedometer display if you want that.

(simply hold the left select button on the steering wheel down before you start the truck for 5 seconds, and hold it through start up screen another 5 seconds. all doors must be closed, and it will not work if you have a low tire pressure/change oil/check engine warning. Then toggle through the menu until you get to the digital speedo readout)

FYI- This also works in mustangs, and Taurus/Explorers, so probably all Fords.

I have a Kenwood 7" navi with idatalink Maestro controller. It has OBDII inputs and there's a boatload of data you can display on the My F-150 screen. Tire pressures, big tach, intake temp, battery voltage, AFR, coolant temp, etc. Haven't really played with it much.

You can get an ELM-327 off amazon for $10-20 (get wifi for ios, bluetooth for android) Then pair it with a mobile App (I use Dash Command but there are many out there) for all the info that is available on the ODBII bus.

Here's some screenshots of Dash Command with the ford ecoboost skin (not sure why it's called that, I think just because it uses the same colors as the oem ecoboost dash)

What I don't understand is why fuel mileage is displayed seemingly everywhere on those dash screens, as if I bought this truck with fuel economy in mind.

The little screen's potential is definitely under-realized.

I thought I was the only one that was stumped by that empty screen. I am in Ford rental cars every other week it seems and almost all the new cars have the ability to setup a custom gauge, you would think they would hook up the SVT Raptor with those functions as well.

Anyone know if the O2 sensors on the 6.2l are widebands? I know the mustang moved to Widebands with the Coyote motors. If they are widebands they I am definitely going with the itsx SCT tuners to display and log that when the whipple goes on.
