Message: [QUOTE="adrianspeeder, post: 1568876, member: 26069"] Needing a new daily driver for about 400 miles a week. Been using my 6.4L, but I'd prefer not to, so it can stay connected to the hay trailer for pasture feeding. Was recently on a trip to Florida and found a clean Lariat 2005 4x4 for $7500. I already had a return flight booked that I couldn't canx, so I'll have to take leave next week to fly back one way and drive home. Ran smooth, AC and cruse control worked, no rust Lousiana truck before being moved to Florida. It's got some stupid head unit contraption I'll pull and put a stock CD player from Ebay in.

Started with finishing some training in Texas, but instead of flying back to the ranch in NM, I jumped on a jet to head to Florida.

Working radio? Nope... Missing antenna. Check. Gauges to monitor the reactor? Negative on working Edge display. Gonna roll lack of instrumentation Three Mile Island 1979 style. Tools and supplies? 1400 spent at Harbor Freight. Check. Cigarette lighter to charge my potato phone? Nope. Check. Clear for takeoff.

I'm not the super trucker I used to be. Worked out because the copilot was getting a free hand me down ride. Loaded up a U-Crawl the next morning. Who needs a spare tire when your 6.0L totes a spare car? Way more cocky now knowing I have a way to not be trapped on the side of the road on the long cross Texas drive.

For sure the truck has a tune as it'll bark the tires and rolls coal off the line if you don't let the turbo spool before stomping on it all the way. The 5R110 shifts crisp, but still wish it was a ZF6. Oh well, a deal is a deal. [ATTACH=full]188066[/ATTACH] Let's get to work on the interior. So this Edge is dead. Have 12v on the obd2 port, and then tried plugging it into the 6.4L with no sign of life. Any market on salvaging these? I'd like to know what the tune is. [ATTACH=full]188067[/ATTACH] Had this show up quick so I can make sure the coolers are up to spec. Not as fancy as the DashDaq on the 6.4L, but I'm not paying those crazy prices. [ATTACH=full]188068[/ATTACH] I see the audio boys were sharp on the job. This all gets the delete. [ATTACH=full]188069[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]188070[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]188071[/ATTACH] Back seat was a pain to fold. Oh, this stupid thing was in the way. Had to unbolt the whole seat to yeet it to the curb. [ATTACH=full]188072[/ATTACH] Your days are numbered. I just want to play CDs, cassettes, and listen to the AM radio with the steering wheel controls. [ATTACH=full]188073[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]188074[/ATTACH] Adrianspeeder [/QUOTE]
