very Go to ford and get it done it takes 10 mins...if you dont do it your truck could end up looking like CDBO3STX's Sig only with real flames...there were a few pics of peoples truck that burst into flames because they didnt take it in for the Recall. Brake fluid drips on somethin hott from the cruise control and causes a short then your truck bursts into flames....Ford puts on a fuse and puts a Cover over the wires. Well worth it...and its free! you want to keep your lightning....you dont want a FLAMEING lightning.

 

Id be fine for now just disconnecting it ?

 

im not sure about that one but i think that would do it for now...why dont you just go to ford its free and takes all of 10 mins.

 

Cuz theres a ton of snow and salt out there!! Mine's never seen rain/snow and is stored safely in a heated garage!! Not going to drive it out there to ford for a ten minute fix

 

I'm in the same boat as you, Ford told me 1st they would have the parts in Jan2008, well I called and they now say in the Spring of 2008. When I took mine in for the repair, they were going to disconnect it, but my brake reservoir was not leaking/dripping at the time onto the cruse control. SO they told me to keep an eye on it, and IF it starts to leak, disconnect it ASAP.

 

Ive been reading up and there may be issues with disconnecting it ourselves, once we go back to ford to replace they may give me the ' well you removed it and now we cant replace' S.O.L.
I have a guy I know who helps out and is a mechanic at a ford dealership, maybe I'll see if he can come by and do it for me

 

You can unplug it and tape it up, that's what I've done. I haven't had time to drop my only DD off at the dealership so that's what I did with mine. Everyone else's suggestions are right on the money as well. My first mod was a bassani catback and then a 4lb lower, it was during the summer here in VA so I didn't get a tune right away and was fine. But being in the winter months and also having an intake I'd get a dyno tune along with the install. Happy Modding!!
