    That’s why I hadn’t seen it. But color me excited now for having relinquished my dongle.

    For those who have downloaded VF tuner already, did you have to jump through hoops with the anti-virus like with the old tuning programs?

    I used the same laptop so no, no need to re-do. Didn't need to .reg file either because it's of course already registered. Perhaps someone with a new laptop can confirm from scratch setup.....

    No I mean when you went to download the older software, windows defender and any other anti-virus would freak out and stop anything until you disabled the anti-virus. Does that happen with the VF software?

    I was just trying to say that I had no hoops to jump through with my VF install/setup, but used the laptop that had already been setup from the older software.

    No. vF installs with no flags other than the usual "do you want to install software" prompt that I keep forgetting to turn off.

    Except the bulk and float phases require much different volts. Bulk is around 14.7v, float is around 13.8v.

    A external charger every so often is still going to be the best way to keep an AGM properly charged. Increasing the alternator output isn’t really a “fix” for AGM batteries in these trucks.
