    Steering Wheel Audio Conversion

    If I am not mistaken, the radio controls on the steering wheel were not available until the 2005 models. I have seen a radio that will play MP3's and has a 6 disc in dash player from out of an Explorer, Escape installed in a Super Duty that just plugged right in. On preset buttons 3 & 4, it...

    6.7 L Powerstroke for 2011

    The thing that would like to have that these newer trucks have are some of the creature comforts they offer. I like the factory entertainment that was offered with the 08's, the tailgate camera (gonna add that one someday), etc. As far as the new engines and all, I am happy with my 6 leaker...

    Question advice on exhaust, air intake, tuner, etc

    Get some gauges. That to me is more important than the other mods you are asking about. Then go for the others. Being able to monitor what those mods are doing is key.

    The pilot injection and aggressive tow/haul are options that you can have put in a tuner, like the SCT. I have the aggressive tow/haul on mine.

    First Impression After Cleaning Turbo & FICM tuning

    I think any tuner is tuning the PCM. That is the brain of the engine and the tuner is telling it what to do. The PCM tells all the others do hickies what to do like the FICM. I am not very good at explaining this, someone with a silver tongue please help.

    I do have an SCT tuner, but it does not tune the FICM. The SCT sends the tune to the PCM (I think I have that right)

    12v Power point

    I happen to have an extra one. The best that I can tell from the laser printing it reads: C232K-B3273 and then XC3T15K047M This number is off the 12v outlet on the lower dash panel. The power point location may have a diff. number.

    The FICM tuning is custom tuning. I think they can do diff. arrangments for tunes to the FICM.

    First Impression After Cleaning Turbo & FICM tuning

    OK, I promise this is the last thread I mention cleaning the turbo. I just wanting to give my first impressions of how it seemed to help/solve the surging problem I was starting to have. I think when it comes down to it, putting in a new VGT solenoid was key and cleaning/resurfacing was just...

    I need something to do!

    I sent it to Power Hungry Performance in Winder, GA. They tune FICM's I have emailed them to get the low down on exactly how they tune it and if they tune based on the mods that each individual truck has. No answers back so far. From what I have read from those who have done, it was well worth...

    I need something to do!

    Well, I was waiting on Banks to send me a couple of washers that have a rubber insert to seal off the bolts that go thru the intake elbow. Called them, they were sent out Monday, but will not get to me until next Tuesday. I guess I can't complain that they sent them by way of a slow brown...

    I almost pulled the trigger on a Dieselsite coolant filter kit today, but after the parts I needed for the turbo cleaning, the funds aren't readily available.

    I need something to do!

    Working on my turbo for the last week was fun and I loved it. Now that I am done with that job, I need something else to do. Give me some ideas for a wrenching project. I have been bit by the mechanic bug

    It's been several years since I have seen a Marmon truck. I have always thought they were one of the ugliest trucks ever made. The grill is huge and looks terrible. The name alone is kinda ugly. But it's a big truck and I like them there big trucks. I saw this one at the local Wal-Mart...
