Added Select Shift to 2013 F-150 success

I have been looking at adding the Select Shift/SST function to my 2013 F-150 which did not have it from the factory. It was a Hertz rental truck that I bought. I have been slowly adding the parts to the truck to transform it into the factory tow package in order to safely gain the towing capacity. The last piece to the puzzle was the SST function.
A lot of research showed that MANY people have asked and even a few tries but there was no indication that ANYONE has been successful. I am here to tell you that it CAN be done thanks for FORscan!
Parts needed are an instrument cluster that have the “M” indicator which also will show you which gear you manually select, and a new shifter with the +\- buttons.
Once you swap the cluster and install the new shifter you will go into FORscan and open the module tab. Locate the PCM ID Block configuration and run it.
It will open a page that shows the VIN and a few various things, one of them being Select Shift transmission. I opened that up and changed it from “not equipped” to “equipped” and wrote that configuration. Once complete I now had Select Shift transmission! I drove it and tested it out and it is 100% functional! No change to the PCM as-builts necessary!
I really didn’t think it would be that easy but it was! I’m honestly surprised no one has figured this out yet!
So for the few of us out there that wanted to add this capability, here is my gift to you!! Thank you FORScan!!
