I have a 2002 Ford F-350 Lariat and I was wondering where I can mount my TS Chip without taking the **** off? My small allen is stripped and I’m just branching out to other ideas for mounting.

 

Not sure if I understand your question. Here's how I did mine

 

I don't know of any way to "mount" it without taking the **** off. Mine was next to the radio where the backup sensor switches would go (plenty of room behind the dash for the **** and cable). Unless you could find some kind of clip that would go around the threaded neck I can't think of any other option besides let it hang and grab it with both hands when you want to switch tunes.

Nice! I like the discreet location. Unfortunately I can't rep you.

 

Forgive me but just guy buy/borrow a drill bit and an allen.

Mount it to the right of the wheel on the kick panel for the knees.

Somewhere comfortable to reach in a pinch.

I sat in the truck for a few minutes with a sharpie and stabbed it and drilled (after panel was off).

Make sure you torque the PCM box 10mm in the firewall to spec. I was nervous and had the truck just go to sleep on me, (not tight enough) not cool.

I have a thread on it if you research, but don't forget!!!!! Don't let that PCM wiggle at all. Wire ties are your friend.

BTW,

Hack saw and patience or a grinder will make that allen new.

 

They make allen head wrenches where the end is shaped in a ball to be able to use them at an angle. Between SAE and metric sizes you should be able to find one that is the right size (or a hair larger), press into the set (allen) screw at an angle and be able to back it out. That set screw is only tightened into plastic so regardless of how much it is tightened it should not take too much to back it out.

You can also get a left hand drill bit (screw extractor) and that should do the trick in a jiffy.

 

 

The two posts that bumped this older thread to the top, bringing it to your attention, and that had zero to do with the topic, have been removed.

I pulled the trigger on a 77 Camper Special with a 460. Going to do very little to the exterior but do a full mechanical rebuild. The truck runs and drives but not well. I hope I didn't pay to much. What do these things go for?

 

 

I think we have crossed wires someplace in the internet!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yup. Somehow I think infinite scroll might be playing a part.

Thread closed.
