How did you go about getting these steps, I asked my sales person and was told they were not available as a accessory.
You ordered all parts from ford for the install? And they don't have a wiring harness available that they would've used to do hook them up at the factory verses making a wiring harness to use?

Yes I ordered all the parts from Ford , no the wire harness is different so you would have to buy the whole interior wire bundles, I am sure you could cook something out with the amps and the factory ones, but that was not my intention I wanted them exactly like if the factory installed it.

I am about to attempt this. Another mechanic in the local Ford shop says it can't be done. They also told me I couldn't add factory upfitter switches but I did once I found all the part numbers. You have laid this out great.
Does the module come with the mounting plate?
i see boards to module connections but where does module connect to truck and does it require another plug?
Are none of these harnesses available from Ford?
Thanks for any guidance you can offer.

Did you have to do any drilling to mount boards or did they mount up to original step hardware?

More Turbo
Thanks
Cause my wife is short and complains about hopping up to the running board. I had to lower the ones on the 4RNR and she was able to get in much better.
So Hmm come next spring!
Nice summary of the project. thanks again.

doesnt matter if you have the chrome package. You can only do it if you have a lariat or higher. Unless you change a lot of stuff out. Vin doesn’t matter yes I used the 9 he talked about for the forscan tool. Also changed the stereo to the Lincoln one, heated and a/c are on the screen like sync 2, mirrors fold in when I lock the truck and unfold when I start it, when in revers mirrors tilt down, also when you use high beams fogs stay on now. There’s a lot you can change with the forscan tool just have to know what your doing.
I havent finished the step mod yet do to you you have to make your own wiring harness. I’ll be done this week.
