    I’ve not looked at the manual, seems awfully long for a code reader cable? It’s long enough to plug into the usb jack on the front of the dashboard. Normal or???

    This truck I bought is so heavily modded I just don’t know what’s stock and what’s aftermarket. Earlier this week discovered I can change my dome lights to red lol

    hard tellin' who Bubba'd what on a molested vehicle. Just follow the cable and see, or if the whole electrical system hasn't gone completely berserk, tuck back up there and forget about it.

    What did you kill? Looks like dried blood on the floormat.

    ^^^This is my guess as well due to the location of the cable. Do you have bigger tires than stock? While the speed displayed by the speedometer is generally correct. Download the software from their website and do a test connection.

    edit: Rough Country is the same.
