Gents this has me going mad and any help is appreciated . In normal mode my truck turns off when the breaks are pressed hard which I cannot stand. Why ford did this is infuriating. Ive read on this forum turning drive mode to sport stops this. So I set things to my favorite settings, sport mode, baha exhaust, turned off that annoying ambiance lighting and hit the R button. Next start up foes right back to all the settings that I hate. I checked my key settings and thats right, but does not remember my settings. Is there something im missing and doing wrong. Wifey has a tremor and has her own questions i cant answer right now.

It's not a 100K truck. It's a 25K truck with 50K of bolt ons.

Are you talking about auto stop/start? I'm generally confused what the R button has to do with this and what you're actually talking about.

I have a 23 and the R button works fine.

I'm assuming you set up the truck in whatever mode and settings and the held the R button down until It programmed and then you press it to activate?

1. Turn on truck
2. Apply your favorite settings (drive mode, suspension, steering, exhaust etc)
3. Hit R button twice and hold the 2nd time and this will save those settings.
If you saved “sport mode” this will automatically shut off the start/stop function.
After you cycle the ignition (turn the truck off and then back on) it will default to the regular drive mode. To activate R settings hit the R button twice and then you are back in your desired settings and the truck won’t start/stop (if you saved it in sport mode).
