    I did a search and couldn’t find anything on this topic but maybe my search results weren’t the greatest. Anyway, I know the dealer can change the setting in the computer, but I am wondering if I might be able to change to constant on ECT PWR by changing the actual switch to a different one that will not shut off? Has anyone tried that? It seems the factory switch goes off once the truck shuts off and resets.

    That’s too easy :rofl:
    I used a momentary dual switch from ch4X4 and made it way more complicated than it should be. The top switch will enable/disable the automatic on, and the bottom switch will act like the stock switch, turning ECT on or off manually.

    I see you are currently running an OTT tune.
    Why not contact them, or your tuner and have a new tune applied?
    Typically, the ECT on the OTT tune is mapped for Towing, Sport, or even a custom setting to suit your needs.

    Maybe shift the ECT tune, to the base tune. Since you seem to like it better?
    And then have a new ECT tune for "what ever".

    As stated by OTT themself.
