Can anyone give me a site where I can get any service bulletins or just how the tow command system works on a 05 SD. Any Help would be great. thanks

 

Check out this site for service bulletins. Very comprehensive. Run by a ford diesel mechanic. http://www.intellidog.com/dieselmann/home.html

 

What info do you need? Tow command is a Ford package, not a part..

If you mean the Factory brake controller..It is driven via a computer/abs sensors...Do you need to know how to set it?

 

Found these on another board. I'd check and verify that they're right though

Hope These Help
