No pictures of the rear jack area. I'm not to worried about it anymore. It is what it is. I got a 70k low miles V10 EX with the 4.30 limited slip rear. Power windows, door locks and mirrors which I didn't have in my truck. So I'm tickled ****less.

I am supposed to take possession tom evening if he gets the title in time. He is still waiting on it. Hopefully I get it tom because Wednesday is Delawares late night @ DMV and I can transfer the info then. I'm getting pretty excited again. Just hope the mirrors are pre-wired for turn signals and that would really make my day. The overhead read out isn't that big of a deal. Just would have been cool to know what the computer thought on how much gas per mile I had left and nice to know the outside temp... lol

I hope you can get it and make it through the DMV hoops ASAP, then we can start to help you spend lots of money on it!

My '05 XLT (Ex government fleet) doesn't have the overhead display, so we have the super cool blank "Excursion" plate in place of the Lie-O-Meter.
I use a cool little gizmo UltraGauge OBDII Scan tool & Information Center to monitor several engine data points and mileage calculations. The new version of them also do the trans temp too, I think Drunken Unicorn is now using one, so if you can get him sobered up enough he can tell you how he likes his , I use mine all the time. Or you could get one of the little OBD II Bluetooth dongles and either the "Torque" app or "Dash command" app to read and display tons of data on a smartypants phone or tablet if that's more your speed (I have an old dumb phone that makes phone calls and slow texts ). Any one of those solutions will give you more info than the missing Lie-O-Meter.
Mine also had the heated power (no signals) dog ear paddle mirrors like yours and when I installed the 1A Auto '08+ towing mirrors all functions worked including the running lights and signals! I guess it's cheaper for to use one common harness for all variations of available options, yay us!
