overhead console questions

Howdy all,
I was wondering if it could be possible to use a late model over head console with the dte and mpg, in a 97 f350 xlt?

No way for the pcm to read mpg on these trucks.

Many have done this

I guess I'll piggyback off this question then and slightly change it,

Did OBS powerstrokes come with an overhead console like some of the eddie bauer bronocs etc? I'm asking this because despite my Bronco not coming with an overhead console, it was equipped with the plug for one, so I bought the console and wiring and plugged it in.

Now that I'm switching to F250 wiring, I don't know if the overhead console will work. I can't recall if the overhead console wired into the dash wiring, or the chassis wiring but I'll find out later today when I pull my dash.

Do you think it possible to get it off without pulling the turbo. That would make twice in a week and it's getting really damn hot here in texas. I at first thought the leak was the pump weeping but I now realize I was very wrong. I have heard someone say to unscrew it....it just didn't look screwed in when I had it part for the pump. I also heard the same person say that you could use a screw driver and a hammer to convince it to come off without turbo removal. Any thoughts if this works?
