About six months ago I hard wired my I-Pod to the truck 6-CD radio and rear seat radio controls.
It was a pain to either have to cover the I-Pod which used a Belkin cup holder, or have to disconnect it and hide it.
Yesterday I had an idea. Went to Home Depot and bought a 1" wide piece of...
The Ford (Stealership - in this case) had a charger on it for most of the day, and it still shows red dots......
Going to take it to another dealer around here, who I hope will take it seriously.
Picked up the truck. They checked and found no draw. They also say it is charging properly, but, I still have the red eye. They did not replace the batteries as they say they are ok. Now I know this dealer is full of it.
They did not check the wiring, nor did they check for the amount of...
I have had remarkably few problems with my 04 (03 engine) KR dually. I was a bit disappointed this morning however.
I have just under 20,000 miles on this vehicle. The temps out last night was around 28 degrees. I went out to start it this morning at about 5:00 am and all I got was clicks...
Well, I figure it SHOULD work on 99-04 (04). If it were my truck, I probably would not try it on an 05 since the radio, wiring and plugs on the back of the 05 radio are different. There is just not enough information on the 05's available.
You have to have the 2 plug ins on the back of the...
I found out about the radio (manufacture) when I was trying to find a I-Pod Aux to run my I-Pod through the stock 6-CD radio. P.I.E. confirmed that they have real problems because every manufacturer of the 6-CD does not produce the EXACT SAME.
My advise, look at my wiring diagram and the...
Anything!...............Well, ALMOST anything to help out my brotha's.
Thanks for the kind comments, and thanks for your help too! You will note, that I put you on my Christmas list at the bottom of the article!! :hail
With Max's permission, I am including a link to the Wiki. It's a list of Mods and Instructions for Ford F-Series trucks.
I have just completed a set of instructions for the Center Console Rear Radio Controls for front Captain's Seats with center console.
Link is...
Is there a spot to post Mod articles? I have just about completed one for
conversion of Captain's chairs - front center console to add cup holders for the rear seat along with rear radio controls and power point.
Any of yu Ex guys/galls got a picture of your overhead display console. I think I may have found an overlay that will match my dash kit. I just want to make sure it's the same design as on my 04 F-350.
Dan - I think you did as good a job as can be expected. Got me thinking in that direction anyways. Some call it Horse Poop Green. Since they only made White and Green for 04 (I think Chestnut Brown came out in 05), choices were limited - and I had had enough white vehicles to last me a while...
Sounds like the most logical reason so far. Just never heard of it causing the Check Engine Light to come on.
Jeez! I pulled this same trailer up the Grapevine which is a long steep grade and never had that happen.
I am hoping it set a code.
At least it does not sound serious - not...
Hopefully one of you more mechanical inclined types can help me understand this.
Coming over the Coast Range, I shifted down to a lower gear for a long grade with "tow haul" on. With Tach at about 2700 RPM if I lifted my foot off the accelerator, I heard what could only be described as a air...
Interesting.
I have yet to hit 1200 degrees. Perhaps I have not hit the right environment for that yet. The highest I have seen was 1100 pulling the Grapevine out of LA towing my 12,750 lb fifth wheel.
What you doing to hit 1250?
I changed to a Silverline 4" exhaust within the first...
I just completed installation of my Apple I Pod into the stock Ford 6 CD stereo using a P.I.E.-AUX adapter. In addition, I was able to integrate this feature with a previous modification (Rear Seat Radio Controls)
The cool benefit to this is that now I have the choice of AM, FM, 6 CD disks OR...
