Can't think of any that do mpg, try this new thing called Google.
 
i bought the extended lifetime lic. i think it was like $50 it works great. it will do graphing when trying to diagnose a A 5.4l 3 valve to see if cam actuators were working.

seems like the older trucks cant have mpg calculated from what i read on the forums
google queries never told me that.
maybe if i ask a person online, they might tell me how i may/may not get it done.

is anyone aware of anything decent in the $20 range? if not i may buy the device suggested by black demon.

still i worry that the computer will give me the same limited information (using elm238*knockoff* and torque app) just becuase its 20y.o vehicle.
any insight appreciated
 
could you recommend a scanner device?

I tried a bunch of settings using FORScan this week. I added the off-road gauges (pitch, roll and steering angle) and changed the splash screen on the center stack from FORD to ST Ford Performance.
I switched on DAB radio, then turned it off as it doesn't work in the states.
I turned on the trail management capability but need to get the switch that has the TM push button. I also realized that the main dashboard in an XLT toes not have the same programmable screens as the Lariat so I may turn that off as I don't believe I will be able to know which mode I've selected (ruts/slippery/sand/snow) and the switch costs over $100.
I also turned on adaptive cruise control but again, the XLT does not have the same dashboard and steering wheel controls as the Lariat so I turned that off too.
Here's a big one ... I added a courtesy wipe after you use the windshield washer.
I also added the anti-noise control. Don't know what this affects or how to tell it's working.

The smartest thing I did was save the 'as built' configuration so I can return the truck back to showroom if I want. the second smartest thing I did was to write down all the changes I made and where to find them in the FORScan program.
