upfitter switch and tow command
Eddieo, I'll try and get some pictures but essentially I wired a relay into the same upfitter wire that controls the high idle. This acts to close the ground on the park brake circuit simulating the same action as stepping on the park brake. The park brake sensor appears to be nothing more...- dieselpilot

gauges
Hopefully this is in line with Naka's original post since it's about gauges. I have a full set of ISSPROs 2 1/16", wholesale from a truck trailer supply firm but they don't sell mounting pods. Anyway, I picked up an autometer pillar mount from a different supplier than the one I mentioned...- dieselpilot

gauges
I picked up a set of ISSPRO gauges and upgraded the thermocoupler to the 2000 degree option versus the standard 1600 degree coupler. I've been accused of over engineering stuff before so I like to stay true to form, (g). Anyway, the oddest thing occurred when trying to pickup a 3 pod pillar...- dieselpilot

upfitter switch and tow command
Thanks for the cudos Bush Powerboater, to answer your comment. I noticed that in order to "appreaciate" the high idle feature the following criteria have to be met. Foot off of brake pedal "parking" brake set Engine running Transmission in park. My little bypass setup negates the need to...- dieselpilot

about killed me
Woofer, I had something similar happen to me just this past weekend, left turn across path and the guy coming the other way was on a Harley. I had lots of room but it took forever to get up and go. When it finally went it REALLY went, blazing tires and lots of squealing. Funny thing is I knew...- dieselpilot

upfitter switch and tow command
The tow command and upfitter switchs are in and working as expected. I had this great post with pictures and the installion instructions etc ready to go and lost the damn thing, so this is the shorter form. Everything went according to plan, upfiter switches took about 45 minutes and the tow...- dieselpilot

upfitter switch and tow command
I'm going to stick it in this weekend and pictures will be taken. It is actually very simple as all the connectors are already in place if your truck build is after July 04. I've physically located the underhood connector to the master cylinder, it wasn't in the place I first suspected and took...- dieselpilot

upfitter switch and tow command
I purchased the IBC "kit" and it does come with a new master cylinder that has to be installed as part of the retrofit. The truck will also "probably" have to have the computer set to recognize the IBC however the dealer is not sure. My dealer did honour their agreement to pickup half the cost...- dieselpilot

Gauges, gotta get gauges
Thanks guys. This is what I'm talking about, leeching off the experience of others. I did have Autometer gauges in my last truck but I really didn't like the incandescent bulbs so I swapped them out for blue/white LEDS, dressed them up much better and the light level was more uniform. I have...- dieselpilot

Gauges, gotta get gauges
OK, gauges gotta get me some gauges and I need your opinions. I'm looking at a couple of options but I'd appreciate some feedback. Do I go 4 gauge pillar or 3 gauge. Trans, Boost, Pyro and probably Water. I was wondering if anyone is running a 4 gauge pillar and does it "look" too crowded...- dieselpilot

upfitter switch and tow command
I found this info that was why I was questioning the need for a possible master cylinder refit. Apparently my Ford dealer does sell the tow command as an add on option but I didn't know this info when I was inquiring so I didn't think to ask about a master cylinder refit. I was told the computer...- dieselpilot

upfitter switch and tow command
OK, this may not be the right location for this question but the trailer towing forum is a little quiet. My 05 F350 has the tow package, flat pin and seven wire connector at the rear but it didn't come with the intregated brake controller. The build date was Oct 04. I do have the pig tail for...- dieselpilot

Seduced to the blue side
I picked up the truck tonight and all I can say is WOW...... I wish I could type more but it's hard to see the keyboard when you are looking past a sh** eating grin. Thanks everyone for the warm welcome and I do have a few questions that I'll post once I get my feet back on the ground. First...- dieselpilot

Seduced to the blue side
Well, I did it. I've always been a Chevy diesel guy, always. Had a 6.2, then 3 6.5s with my last rig being a 96 8,600 Chevy SB. Never experienced any problems with this truck but after 10 years and 300,000 KMs I started thinking "new wheels". I visited my Chevy dealer but I didn't get that warm...- dieselpilot
