Nah, I'll get started late morning probably. I have some thinking to do about some things I am doing so there is no real rush.

holy crap look what the neighbor’s dog did to my truck!!! I wondered why the backup camera and driver side brake light didn’t work.

I tried every fuse, bulb, etc. and figured it was in the harness.

glad I have a drawer full of electical crap.

Yeah, not his family...this house is like a freaking HUD house or something like that...every 6 months there are 4 different people moving in. I did go chew them out and told them if their dog comes back they will not see it again!

Fortunately it didn’t cost me anything.

TX

I am getting close to ordering the Goodbox and I think I have everything lined out to add the Oil Temp/Pressure to the AUX slots.

If anyone is interested let me know and we can work something out

The 5v supply will only run around $10 in RS parts.

If you do not already have the appropriate senders you can either get AEM Or Aeroforce (both around $100)

AEM
150 PSIg Brass Sensor Kit /AEM Part# 30-2131-150 (or AEM Part# 30-2131-100 if you don’t have oil mods)
1/8" PTF Water / Coolant / Oil Temperature Sensor Kit /AEM Part# 30-2012

Aeroforce
Fluid Temperature Sensor Kit-Item # Sens013-Fitting: 1/8
Oil Pressure Sensor Kit-Item # Sens021

I'm not too sure what's happening right now... it seems like water is just mysteriously falling from the sky...

On a side note, I'm scared to see how San Antonio drivers will react to this.
