Welcome to the site!

You will want to post your question in the tech forums since this one is used for introductions. Click on the Forums tab at the upper left and scroll over the boards to find your application. I would start here: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum40/

You have some nice trucks and you'll find a lot out here.
