Like the video. I love the Christmas music in the background!!!

[@LivingOnWheels]

I literally look forward to being able to put Christmas music in the videos all year haha

[@ScientistPrepper]

Good job dude. Thanks for the ideas on improving my boring truck cab!

[@DeepSouthBayouDiesel]

Excellent work as always sir😊👍

[@oscarjones5773]

Really enjoyed the music tbh. Thank u

[@DasMoose9001]

I was watching people absolutely reengineer their dash to fit these things. I appreciate you cutting straight to the point and sharing the CORRECT kit and suggestions. God Bless

[@LivingOnWheels]

Glad it was helpfull

[@DasMoose9001]

@@LivingOnWheels It seems to me you as a person, are helpful. Thank you again for your content.

[@josephcirelli9642]

Could you get a torpedo heater for your garage to warm it up? My garage is a one car garage & I can’t fit my truck in it. I know for me, cold is a b!tch! I have major nerve damage/pain. Which is why you & your channel gives me the motivation to do stuff to my truck. Thanks again for all you do making your videos and look forward to seeing your next video!

Looks great, brothers, always see what they do, after the fact lol!

Radio removal tool... old clothes hanger... stronger type. I just pulled my 2000 for the first time. needed two screw drivers to assist removal... struggled on the StruggleBus

[@LivingOnWheels]

They can definitely be really stuck in there if they’ve never been out.

[@FoxRcnInc]

There a dual USB fast charge outlet that fits the stock 12v outlet plug behind the slide up door perfect. Don't have to do any mods beside put some spare terminal on the 2 wires. Looks factory and can still cover it with the little slide door if you want to. Also has a volt meter built into it.

[@LivingOnWheels]

I've seen those. Mine is actually hooked up to my radio for apple car play.

[@sethsteria7320]

Do you have the link for it or know where to find it?

I’d wait to change the vents until you decide if your going painted or not

[@adriannathode9292]

Thank for the video. Do you possibly have a wiring diagram for the Ford harness? I have the same make, model, and year as well as the same upgraded stereo head unit though having a hard time figuring out which wires to connect to the head unit

[@LivingOnWheels]

I would highly recommend getting the adapter plug instead of hardwiring it into the factory harness. I should have the pigtail you need linked in the description. With that it’s almost always just simple color matching. Both the head unit and the adapter should come with wiring diagrams though.

[@adriannathode9292]

@@LivingOnWheels Thank you for the recommendation. I got an adapter and it made it much easier!

[@LivingOnWheels]

@@adriannathode9292 glad to hear it!

How did you mount the hydra to your dash. Double sided Velcro

[@LivingOnWheels]

Yup. Just a little square of it.

[@tylerpierce5650]

Who’s the Christmas song by?

[@joeegriff6566]

FYI those vents pop right out…take a flat head to the short end opposite the flow control and pry…no need to remove dash

[@LivingOnWheels]

Good to know!

Where’s the vet? 😀 thanks for the vid!

[@LivingOnWheels]

Life had other plans. I will still own one eventually

[@jonfournier2338]

Paint your black vent gray to match

[@LivingOnWheels]

I like the look of the black. So I'll just switch it back at some point

[@jeremyhass317]

who is the music by? pulled the video up at work to try and figure it out but the soundhound app can't identify it

[@LivingOnWheels]

Both are through soundstripe which allows me to use this music for my purposes. Not sure if you'll be able to find them outside of this but here they are. God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman by Dreamlamp O Come O Come Emmanuel by Emorie

Hey bud just saying you can run your tuner screen on your radio now! I have one to my backup cam and plan to use the second input for the tuner in split screen of full in reverse.

[@LivingOnWheels]

I know but I already have the money invested in the edge cts so I’ll be staying with that.

[@johngrady3532]

@@LivingOnWheels I think the edge can display on the screen also the radio one. Im looking into the edge for my late 99 7.3 150k banks exhaust and ARE Intake that's about it but none of my code readers work with this truck and I've had it since it was new. What do you think?

[@johngrady3532]

actually the same truck as yours color and all but I had to special order the 6 foot bed and wait 6 months. Worth if fits in my garage by 3/4 inch and i keep in in there when not driving.

[@LivingOnWheels]

As far as I am aware the edge cts isn’t capable of that. The cts doesn’t have a output port. Just inputs. I’m not sure why your code readers wouldn’t work. That is strange.

[@johngrady3532]

@@LivingOnWheels IDK they all say not compatible and to unplug when I try to plug in. I think the newer Edge has HDMI out I was reading about it on diesel site I think it was. Let ya know I am gonna buy the newer CTS when i get some extra cash! Does yours come with the tuner built in?

[@ricosuav7]

is there someplace to order the dash bezel that you replaced and put the switches in

[@LivingOnWheels]

Just that center section I don’t think so unless you have the 4x4 switch. Then you can get that piece. Otherwise is the whole dash piece which I bought on eBay.

[@ricosuav7]

@@LivingOnWheels thank you and do you have a link yes lazy I know

[@Blueovalnation]

Okay dumb question here…how do you remove the double din radio? I installed one on my 01 f350 and I’m trying to figure out how to get it because the unit I got is crap and want a different 7” touch screen to put in.

[@LivingOnWheels]

Depends on what kit was used or how it was installed. For example this kit has the two black trim pieces on the sides that clip into place so you have to squeeze them in to release it. I know I made mine a very tight fit.

[@Blueovalnation]

@@LivingOnWheels yeah I think mines set up the exact way yours is. Same kit

[@mikehunt8247]

So i fucked up and cut down the left lip as well what would i do to remedy that? I presume the clips on the deck kit wont have any thing to grab too?

[@LivingOnWheels]

Yeah, probably going to run into figment issues honestly these dash pieces are pretty cheap and easy to find. Might be easiest to just replace it.

[@mikehunt8247]

@@LivingOnWheels the entire dash piece itself?

[@LivingOnWheels]

@@mikehunt8247 yeah the bezel piece that goes around the cluster and radio. Otherwise you’re probably just going to have to find a way to jerryrig it.

[@TopNotchwelding]

Could hydro dip it carbon fiber

[@LivingOnWheels]

I have thought about that. I think it would look cool

[@procdaddy12]

Put a 2016 f250 dash in that 7.3

Where's the video for that I would like to do with the 2016 upgrade for my 2001 F550 6 Speed
