Disconnect?
I searched and found this https://www.f150online.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=167845 so to my understanding if I disconnect the battery I don't have to put it back to stock first. The only thing I don't do is leave the keys in the ignition right?

No, you don't need to return it back to stock tuning first when disconnecting the battery - not at all. Just leave your performance tuning in there & it'll be fine.
I *do* recommend making sure that any time you are either disconnecting or reconnecting the battery, make certain your ignition keys are out of the ignition - don't just turn the ignition off and leave he keys in the ignition - REMOVE the keys from the ignition. That way you can't fry the chip in the key with a current surge.
It doesn't matter what program is installed in your PCM, you can disconnect & reconnect the battery at will just as long as your keys are out of the ignition. That isn't going to cause you to lose the programming in the PCM, it just clears out the adaptive strategy adjustments & you go back thru the relearn cycle again.
