go to Radioshack and get a pack of five 1/4watt resistors for $1. Get some heat shrink and some insulated male/female spades and find or buy some small 18 ga wire.

Take both ends of the resistors and fold them back in half and tin them with a soldering iron. Take two pieces of wire about 3" each and strip each end about 1/4" and tin them also with the iron. Then solder one end of each wire to each end of the resistor. Slide a piece of heatshrink over it and heat it up to seal it. Then take two insulated male spade connectors and crimp on the end of the two wires.

Go out to the truck and locate the IAT sensor. There are two wires to it. ONLY CUT ONE and cut it a few inch back from the sensor. Strip each end back and crimp two insulated female ends on the wires and then plug in the home made PW into it. You can take a short peice or wireloom and put it on the wiring to cover everything and hide it

You can also take another small peice of wire and crimp two male insulated spades on it so if you ever want to take out the PW you can replace it with this straight peice or wire.

Reset your PCM

You say to only cut one of the wires, does it matter which one?

does it matter what wire you put it on and does anyone have a picture of it installed.
