Use a relay if you are using the stock wiring. The stock wire and transmission range sensor are not designed for heavy loads.

Figured I'd toss it out here just for giggles since someone probably knows someone and I'd rather not deal with a ton of people from Craigslist if I don't have to...

I need a desk it's just gotta be able to fit a laptop printer and a pad of paper on top and a couple drawers preferably one that'll hold file folders but that's more of a plus than a necessity.

I feel you pain Tom, a couple of years ago now I sold a really nice '96 F250 with the 7.3. I miss it but I needed the car for the mileage and had to get rid of the truck note to buy the car.
Pete I may have one for ya, it doesn't have any drawers but you can have it

Justin I appreciate the offer but drawers are somewhat of a necessity. I think I found something that will suit my purposes.

Nope, that wasn't a good decision in the first place. I convinced myself that I could put two carseats in the back seat of that thing, which just isn't practical with a rear-facing seat like my daughter uses.

And in the months after she was born it became apparent that her situation is much worse than the vast majority of kids with spina bifida. At the moment she has two shunts, a tracheostomy, vesicostomy, and is ventilator dependent when she sleeps, and as such she travels with lots of equipment. So this made it go from impractical to impossible, and I decided to trade in my manhood and by a Fusion:
