Overhead console-will it work???
I have an 02 f250 and from the factory it DID NOT come with the overhead console and it still doesnt have it. My question is can i put one in my truck now?

From what I have read it is kind of tricky hooking up the wires if the truck didn't have one originally. A few years ago a seller on ebay said that he would supply the instructions for the wiring if you bought a console from him and that his wiring would work while others wouldn't. Never did follow through on it but it might be a source of info for you.

I do know that older (99-00 ?) Lariats had the cubby up top. Mine does have a sunglass storage spot which is nice, and the garage door opener cubby. Mine is always set on the temp function. No help on how to retro-fit, however. Sorry.

yeah i like the authentic factory look of the compass and temp but yeah the lie o meter is useless i would rather just do it by hand and yeah i like the cubby. I need all kinds of extra storage in my truck for all my crap!

My lie-o-meter is consistently off by 3mpg, so if it shows I'm getting 22.3, hand calculating will have me at 19.3 typically. I have an extra OHC in tan that I bought a while back for a project that I decided I'm not doing; the electronics are there but not working. (PM me if interested). I like having the temp & compass up there too; it just a nice thing to have.

yeah it is real nice to have cause i dont always have my GPS with me as to my wife is directionally challenged and needs it more. Does the electronic not work at all or just not hooked up? i guess all you would have to do for the temp and compass is run a power wire to it i reckon right?
