What software do engine tuners use?

Anybody use Ford's software?

No progress has been made with ForScan changing items like diff cooler, turning on bass from stereo head end.

Just looking to understand how with ford system you can toggle the diff pump on and off, but nobody seems able to do the same thing with forscan.

It's my understanding that FORSCAN will change static things, like "enable this, disable that." It sounds like you want to do something a bit more dynamic like "turn the diff pump on when..." Do I understand you right?

If you don't mind a small piece of hardware like Raspberry Pi or Teensyduino, I'll bet I could help you figure out a hardware solution. I think the ECU puts all of these requests on the engine CAN bus. So it would be a matter of finding that location (a solvable problem), and using that small piece of hardware to set and clear that request bit when the conditions you specify have been met.

I want to be able to use diagnostic methods outlined in shop manual. Lets take the diff pump for an example. I was thinking best way change the diff oil would be to disconnect the return line and pump it out, that would get oil out of the cooler. Shop manual says toggle Diff_Pump_xxx. Also thought a breakout box between the tool and port could capture the address and values sent. Help forscan people.
