@WillB17 didn't find it. He is having it manufactured.

Great job on another product!
Thanks Jeff! That's correct, I cannot afford a CNC machine, so I am having a small shop in my hometown in Michigan make them for me and then another Michigan business that is anodizing them. I do my best to keep the business local!

I'll be ordering one once my truck arrives!
That is the totally wrong way to do it!

If you don't have a box, bin, cabinet, or garage full of parts by the time your truck arrives, you are behind. :ROFLMAO:

This morning I got in my new Powerbeast and thought wow this engine doesnt make a sound when started and the green "Ready" light showing. I was ready to sneak out of the driveway and go fishing. I was thinking what a great truck then I put it in reverse and the blasted beep showed up and warning signals suggesting something was behind the truck. I rolled the power window down and yelled "Alrigh' you can came too Luke" my labrador got up from behind the rear tire and waiting till I popped the tail gate and let down the Labrador assist step. Just then this girl showed up out of nowherez with a box of donuts asking for ..well toilet paper of all things.

Quoting myself. If I keep doing that, I might go blind :eek:

Package received. Absolutely beautiful!

@WillB17, keep this up and I can build a new (better) truck off of you :ROFLMAO:

so I have to ask is there some kind of benefit to getting this vs. just disabling the sounder thru forscan?

If you are not using Forscan already, then cost and ease of use is the main thing. For me I am trying to avoid Forscan, if possible, and this is an option for me and others in the same boat.

I want to be able to turn it on and off easily, so the remote option is wonderful for my situation. YMMV.

Why are you trying to avoid forscan?

The only problem with forscan is that the computer will show that you unplugged the PACM, and that means the dealer will be able to see it as well, and Ford will be able to see it. With the bypass kit, the truck will still think the speaker is plugged in, therefore no codes. Its also a lot faster to throw in the bypass kit vs forscan, and like Kodiak said, forscan isnt for everyone. I love forscan and have used it a ton, but the bypass takes seconds to install if you know what you're doing.

Cost, but more importantly, there just is not a need for a lot of the things that can be done with it. With that said maybe once I have the truck I will see more things that I would like to try, but right now I would rather skip the $600 layout and keep it as vanilla as possible. I plan to do a lot of exterior modifications, but nothing that would require me to fiddle with the internal electronics of the truck. If I start having issues with the truck I do not some dealer telling me that since I altered the programming, I might be screwed, and out of warranty.

Paranoid? Possibly but safe at least for now.
