Yeah, that mod wasn't expensive at all. It was a little involved, but it was fun, and I absolutely love having the plug in at the rear now instead of having the cord out of the front.

How come you are not instaling the A2 yourself? ICBM maint instructor should be able to do 30 min install on edge A2,Unless missiles got a whole lot less complicated

Good call 11m, mostly because the guy that owns Black Sheep pPerformance 4X4 is cutting me a deal. I am getting the Edge Juice with the A2 monitor with all the options (bakup camera, nav) for a freakin sweet deal. It's not so much the A2 I am worried about as it is drilling into my manifold for the EGT probe. I can do it, but I fear leaving something behind and farking up my turbo..... I would rather let someone who's done it a bunch of times do it, plus I hate playing with exhaust manifolds.

Being you said it turned over slow it sounds like you don't have winter weight oil in it or your batteries are also being affected by the cold temps. Being your in MT? I would think you would have put 5w oil in to it no later then last Nov to help it start easier when the temps drop below zero. I know the 5w oil I use sure helps mine start when our lows are in the –10 to -17 below zero range we have had over the last few nights. Also if you park your truck in the garage you will only need the block heater to be on for about 4 hours. BTW, I sure hope you have a winter front on your truck like I have to help warm it up from those cool overnight temps.

I have the cord coming out the front of my 03 but i dont see where it connects to the block itself. I thought it would be on the passenger side of the head towards the front ??? Anyone have any ideas on where to look?? Thanks
