Just had a few minutes to use Forscan and absolutely love it. It’s amazing to have that much control over so many parameters. Kudos to the Forscan team.

I used the newer OBDlink EX (no physical switch, it’s auto) which runs faster speeds and it was flawless. Best $40 I’ve spent in a while.

What adjustments did you make? I got the same OBD device, but trying to track down a laptop that will work lol. I'm planning on doing the Amber DRL and double honk changes. Possibly do the aftermarket subwoofer change too, I read that it's supposed to make the stock one sound better somehow.

You will love your Diamondback! Best mod I have done after the Amp retractable Running boards. I get a lotta comments about how perfect it is for a Raptor.
I had AMP steps on my old 2011 F250 and they were great. I don’t mind these stock boards on the Raptor though, especially if they help with door dings.

I’m geeked for the Diamondback. I had about 8K worth of fishing gear (lots of custom and JDM gear) stolen from me on a fishing trip in Bama years ago and it broke my heart. Told myself if I ever got another truck the bed will be as secure as possible and I think the Diamondback is it.

I used a ThinkPad and it was easy. The drivers were up to date when I received it from Amazon a few days ago as well. Just plug in and it says the speeds are increased so it auto made changes for that which was nice.

I changed a bunch of stuff; double honk, Lincoln mirrors, DRL, gauges, radio play time, stop/start etc. I changed a lot. Just triple check your numbers and make sure you save those stock settings first. I can’t emphasize that enough.

Good looking GSD, this is my first and they are the most loyal “Velcro” dog I’ve had. My last dog was a male Bernese MT dog, a big boy weighing in at 160lbs, and more protective than my GSD.

We have a Berner too, but she’s a little girl at 90lbs. Great dogs!

I wouldn’t say 90 lbs is little! We has another male before the one I posted, which was our first Berber, he was 85lbs, 90 for a girl is a good size. I agree, Berners are great dogs. My wife wants to get a puppy, but I want another GSD. Currently looking at purchasing a 2 year old IPO 3 male, just imported from Belgium...

Changed out the stock UCA and springs with Icon Delta Joint UCA and Eibachs. Also used KHC’s LCA Slot Delete and Support kit.

Springs will obviously settle, but for the last 100-200 miles after install the feeling is great, the “boat” effect is gone and there is definitely a noticeable change in steering tightness/control.

Finished installing the Diamondback HD a few ago with some help from my son. A very well built cover for sure. I think the truck rides better now as well from the little added weight.

I will get better pics in the near future but wanted to post a quick pic.

Are you running factory wheels with that setup?
