    I got all the parts in this week and will give the install a shot today. Wish me luck, electronics are not my strong suit.

    Good luck, did you go with the Pac-Tr7 route?
    If so I found it best to assemble it on my work bench using a 12v auto jumper.
    Unless you have a 12v battery handy. Just don't change any settings on the Tr7, it's all set up for what we need.

    Thanks! How long have you had it? Notice any issues other than lower gas mileage?

    No issues, with a light foot gas mileage is similar too. Kind of wish there was an in-between mode.

    Got it a couple of weeks ago. Accepted $40 for it. Took 10 minutes. Took 6 of those 10 for me to get my stiff old body under the dash to get to the fuse box. Sure, I could just push the button when I start the truck but......now I don't have to.

    What's the latest on this? I don't see the plug-and-play option on the MESO Customs site anymore.

    I have this mod and run a cig lighter adapter in my truck (3 plugs and 2 usb slots). I have my radar detector in one of the plugs and the other plug is routed to a small inverter that I use to charge my laptop. Before this mod I didn't have any issues with the fuse blowing, but now when I use charge the laptop I blow the fuse. Can I go to a bigger fuse and be safe. If so how high?

    This mod is not affecting it, as there are two separate sources of power. You're likely just overloading the circuit.

    Found i think better way to do it-no modules no relays .Just 2 wires and switch
    Pink wire #4 is a momentary ground signal to ECM.
    installed momentary switch under shifter cover on top of the shifter.Run ground from shifter base to switch and second wire tapped to pink #4.
    Switch mouted where N position is-every time shifting from P to D closes circuit and triggers ECT.Going back to R triggers it again -no ECT in R.
    ECT button still works like before mod.

    I saw the video on this. I have the old Messo mod. my issue with this is if you take your truck into the dealer for MX and they have to test drive it they may discover it. My mod i hold the ECT button down for 5 seconds and it disables the mod, which i did when i took my truck in for the coolant crossover pipe replacement.
    also the video points you you don't have to remove any of the dash bezels which takes less than a minute. This you have to remove the center consul. lastly it is constantly being switched on/off/on/off
    My take.
