Hey guys, I am new to the site. I'll be picking up my first diesel this week! Its an 03 6.0 XLT Super Cab. Gunmetal Grey, leveled with 20's and 35's. Im a Chevy guy, but have always loved Fords trucks! I'll post up some pictures when I pick her up in Colorado Springs this week.

Anyway, I am not looking to build a race truck or anything. Just a clean daily driver that I can tow my Vette to the track and other events with... and up in the mountains to go snowboarding, hunting, etc. To my knowledge the truck has a 5 inch turbo back and thats it. I plan on adding an intake, EGR Delete, upgraded oil cooler, and an SCT Livewire with a few custom tunes from Innovative Diesel

Ok, got her home. Only issue is cruise control. It doesn't work. Will not turn on at all. I push the buttons on the steering wheel and nothing happens at all. I was reading and found that the most common cause of this was the deactivation switch on the master cylinder. Its only $28 shipped for the new sensor and the troubleshooting harness so I went ahead and ordered.

But, any other ideas incase that does work?
