Should be able to do it with forscan. I assume you already installed the correct switch?

Went by the dealer this morning and it wouldn't work. He tried to enable the fog light function and it kept saying this function no supported on this module. He did a reprogram and clicked that the truck had fogs and it still wouldn't turn them on. Said hes gonna do some research on it. :shrug:

Can you bypass the trucks factory wiring (using a relay) and still use the factory switch?

Gonna give the tech and the forum a couple days to see what comes about from members having done this. That relay is my next move. Just use a wire out of the switch as the trigger wire. Who knows.

Nice!

Hope you're planning on some motor and trans upgrades. That's a 650whp setup on stock fuel. Gonna be rowdy in that little truck :evil:

Well it has begun. So far so good. Gonna do body mounts as well while its up in the air. The engine was really clean besides where the up pipes were leaking.

Should I do a water pump and inspect the front cover now or not? I mean its right there. lol:shrug:

Pull the water pump and inspect it

Got it back on the road today. Wow there is a pretty noticeable gain in power. Heres what I did.... ARP studs, new OEM head gaskets, 6.0 manifolds, hi flow up pipes , updated harness, new fuel lines, new oil cooler, new rocker sets, new push rods, 59/72 turbos, checked the front cover, ELC coolant, new top and bottom radiator hoses, new belts, pulley and all needed gaskets and seals. O yea and replaced the body mount bushings. Seems to have more grunt down low and spools up nice. Absolutely love it. Seems like there is something I forgot to list, I'll check my list later. The front cover was in great shape so maybe it has been replaced at some point. Had the heads checked and surfaced. Went on a hour ride today and the deltas never got more than 4 degrees running 70 mph in about 85 degree weather.

Pump or not

I know this is a hard question to answer but should i add a lift pump and if so which one...fass or air dog?? If nothing else but for clean fuel. I did the fass on my 6.0 when i had it and it was toooo loud so i removed it and sold it. From what i read both companies have came a long way since then as far as noise. Aren't these pumps used in conjunction w the hfcm on the frame ? Let me know what if any advice. Thanks in advance

I would skip both companies mentioned. Spotty reliability at best. Either dual stockers or fuelab.

I run Marty's setup on mine and it hasn't missed a beat. Maintains 62psi at all times, all conditions.

Did a couple interior things as well as a good cleaning.
Put in some husky rubber mats as they seem to stick better on the vinyl floor. Added the entry guards from AVS on the lower door sills. Put in the Edge CS and molded mount just to monitor whats happening. prob gonna do the studs and some other things soooon.

How much are the door sill entry guards? You can PM me if needed. For a crew cab.
