Been on the site for a few years but never posted much. Have gotten alot of good info from many threads. Well after many months of ebay shopping, I've finished the transformation of my XLT.

Holy crap, looks good. How much did that cost you? Cheaper to just buy a Harley? lol

 

3K for all mods
truck cost me 27k back on 04

so for 30k I have a one off Poor mans Harley the I put together myself

 

looks sweet man, you should do a write up on the EATC swap... I know of alot of people interested in that mod

 

can you elaborate on the EATC conversion

 

looks awesome man! i am thinking about doing this exact same thing!

 

Let me get all my notes together on the EATC swap and i'll see what i can write up. It's alot more involved that just moving wires. I am pleased with the finished product. Opened the roof yesterday took a drive and enjoyed all my hard work.

 

nice upgrade!
lot of work and money i can see

 

looks sweet. ill have to look out for your truck when ever im in the katy area. we have a meet this saturday at bryan beach if you want to go. look in the south section for information or just PM me

 

Boy that looks like it took a lot of work. Nice job!

 

that looks great,

i would get PTM bumpers to finish off the look though

 

that's exactly what i was thinking, cwjaho74 nice great looking truck

 

Nice job. You definitely need black bumpers as the final touch.

On the EATC swap the only thing I can't figure out from the parts guide is whether or not the back panel connectors are the same. Can you just plug in the EATC module where the manual one was? The parts guide only lists a different blower motor actuator vs a blower motor resistor. Everything else says its the same. [Minus the three extra inputs that don't matter as far as I can tell.]

 

i read somewhere you can plug it in and it works, but not everything works....plus if your truck don't have all the options as one that had EATC, you would have buttons on the unit with no purpose.

 

I'm curious to hear what cwjaho74 has to say then.

If it plugs in, all you need to do is swap out the blower motor resistor for a blower motor speed control actuator and add the interior temperature sensor under the radio, and voila, you have EATC. Thats according to the parts guide, not experience.

Without the blower actuator it couldn't work right because the manual and electronic systems send a different type of signal to the blower motor. Thats from the shop manual.

But the ambient sensor and the solar sensor should be unnecessary for it to work well. Heck, even the interior temp sensor should be unnecessary for it to at least work. It just wouldn't be calibrated to actual degrees (for example, 68 on the display may be 78 in real life). Again, from the shop manual.

As for the other buttons, I think its only heated seats, heated mirrors, and rear defrost. I'd add heated seats and mirrors via an aftermarket kit and I _really_ want a solid rear window with a defroster anyway.
