    bed plate oil leak

    She's paid for though, and I like the look of it better than the new trucks. That, and I don't have an extra 50k laying around to get the truck I'd want!! :lmao In regards to warranty, the only Ford warranty that covers the EGR system is the full blown premium extended warranty, and that...

    bed plate oil leak

    While under my truck this past weekend doing a coolant flush, I noticed oil on the tranny bell housing. Since my powertrain warranty expires this week, I figured that I better get it in to the dealer and have it looked at. Dropped it off this morning and waited by the phone... finally got a call...

    Question EGT probe and gauge

    Done!! Drilling wasn't terribly difficult.... just went one size at a time. Tapping was a pain though, as I only had the tap, and not the proper tool to turn it with. I made due, and got it in good enough. The fitting had ~3/4" of threads on it. The manifold isn't near that thick, so I...

    Question EGT probe and gauge

    Found it!! The PO had installed a satellite radio, and this is the place that they ran the wire through. Made it real easy to find. Now all I need to do is get the right tap, and I'll be done!

    Question EGT probe and gauge

    help on tap size Aight guys, I need some help with the tap now. I went to Home Depot today to get a 21/64 drill bit (recommended by the instructions), and an 1/8 NPT tap. I figured it would be easy. Unfortunately, I was wrong. All of the taps there were in some kind of 'NC' sizing...

    Edge Insight - who is running it, and where is it mounted?

    Just got it all wired in, except for the EGT probe. So far, I like it. It's a pretty slick setup. I ended up using the windshield mount that came stock with the display because my a-pillar lights get in the way of the dash pod. My only complaint is that it's quite difficult to unplug the...

    Question EGT probe and gauge

    I wish it was that easy....:innocent I've got the Edge 'add an accessory' cable, which is a fat cable, not just a wire sender. The EGT probe attaches to it, and they are supposedly coming out with other sensors that will hook to it as well. I've heard that they are coming out with a fuel...

    Question EGT probe and gauge

    One more question for you guys - Where do you run the probe wiring back through the firewall?

    Question EGT probe and gauge

    Sweet. I'm really looking forward to getting the Insight mounted and running... especially the EGT readout. Hopefully the weather will clear out and let me tackle it this weekend.

    Question EGT probe and gauge

    I'm actually getting ready to drill into the manifold this weekend to hook up my Edge Insight. What size drill bit do you guys usually use to start? I believe the instructions say to use a 3/8" for the final hole (don't have them in front of me right now), but I'll probably drill with multiple...

    Wiring up air horns

    I actually looked through your pics earlier today on this. I have a different hose running to the tank than you do, so it would be harder to extend. I considered that it might run hot, but I think it's better than getting in any kind of wet weather. I may add some vent hold in the bottom that...

    Wiring up air horns

    Finally got everything mounted and wired up tonight. I have one glitch that I need to work out. I wired the compressor relay to energize with upfitter switch #3 (the wire runs from the upfitter switch to the pressure switch on the tank, then another wire runs from the other side of the...

    Edge Insight - who is running it, and where is it mounted?

    UPS dropped everything off this morning!! Somehow, my order got upgraded to next day air (free of charge), so my Insight was waiting for me when I got home. I can't install until next week, on account of the truck goign in to the dealer for some warranty work (oil leak), but this will give me...

    Edge Insight - who is running it, and where is it mounted?

    Never knew that there was a color code for the interior. Good to know! I'll check out the door post tomorrow when I go to work. Hopefully the paint is easy to find... next thing I'll be posting about is how to drill and tap the manifold for the EGR probe!

    Edge Insight - who is running it, and where is it mounted?

    Well, I couldn't hold off... Today I ordered the Edge Insight CTS, the EGT probe, and a dash pod. Hopefully everything will be here Friday. Now I need to figure out the best way to match the dash pod (comes black, I believe) to my tan interior. Anyone already have a good match and know...

    Edge Insight - who is running it, and where is it mounted?

    Sorry, didn't clarify. I'm looking at one of the new CTS models. I started looking today and had a really itchy trigger finger, but held off for now. Next week might be a different story though (my credit card resets this weekend)... :sly

    Edge Insight - who is running it, and where is it mounted?

    Howdy everyone - Who all here is using the Edge Insight? I've been wanting to put some gauges in my truck, and I much prefer the look of actual gauges, but the Insight is more cost effective, and it would take me 10 gauges to monitor everything that the Insight can, so I think I'm going to...

    Upfitter switches - where to buy?

    Got the upfitter switches wired in today. Used switch #4 for the high idle mod while I was at it. Overall, it was a fairly simple install, although I think Ford provided about 2' too much wire. It would have been easier if the whole harness was a little shorter, as there isn't much room to...

    trailer wiring

    Agreed. Now I just need to find an '08 pigtail! I think it's time to call around to the junk yards.

    trailer wiring

    That's what I was thinking as well. No idea why it would be different. I want to change mine to the '08 and up style though so that I have the new style plug. This would need a new harness because the 4-way wires are no longer needed.... they are essentially internal to the plug (like this...

    trailer wiring

    Haven't had any luck locating these harnesses... I called the dealer, and he said that he'd need my VIN in order to identify exactly which wire harness I needed... apparently the trailer only wires are not available by themselves. I've also looked online, but haven't been able to locate...

    Wiring up air horns

    Awesome. Thanks for the info. I had an idea that this was how it was wired. Another question for you... where did you mount the switch, and what is the best place to run the wires into the cab? Where did you tap into the factory horn switch? Thanks for the help.

    Wiring up air horns

    What's the story on the schematic??? I think I'm goign to wire the compressor to my new upfitter switches so that I can control when it runs. I'm hoping to get it wired up tomorrow and then I can tap into the upfitters when they get here. I am interested in seeing how you can wire a switch...

    Upfitter switches - where to buy?

    My dealer here in town didn't have the whole kit, so it was goign to be $200+ to buy it all individually. I found the whole kit online at www.partsguyed.com for $102. Shipped it same day, and should be here on Thursday!!
