Haha. Time to get a new parts guy. That sucks man.
Gonna order the correct one from Tasca this time, BTW anyone know the part # for the little metal clips that hold the front bumper cover on? I can't seem to find them on any break down Just the entire trim piece( # 17 on most breakdowns)
Yea, I ordered the harness that ends with a B and got the harness with an F.
Eg. ordered FL3Z-15K867-B, But got FL3Z-15K867-F. Didn't check before I tore into truck 'cause figured parts guy could read enough to give right part
They will typically ship what is the most recent modification of the part. If -B and -F match same make/model/engine then they will ship current version. If -C was unique to 5.0 and you gave 3.5 VIN, they might have called you on it but if you have 3.5 you get whatever appears to be current.
Nobody needs to change anything at 720-07-01 for ACC to work. Unless you want to add temps above gauges, keep what your as-built is for 720-07-01. Storkpkp changed these values at 720-07-01 before the ACC mod and didn't notice the DTC until he was doing the ACC mod and putting these values back to his as-built cleared the DTC.
Gotcha. I did all those changes (add temp/dte) a while back so I'll just leave it as is when I install the ACC stuff this weekend.

What I got had no shutter or vent wiring, I assume it was for a 5.0. I have a 3.5 TT.
OK so from my install, I used storkpkp's write up. And noticed a few things that may help others.
1. Check your parts BEFORE you start to tear apart your truck. So you Don't end up with the wiring issue I had.
2. on step 3-4 pull the wiring for the foglights off the bumper(if yours is mounted there)
Foglight wiring on back of bumper, also rear bumper mount Nut
3. on step 5 only remove 1 bolt from each side of bumper and mark mounting location with paint pen(much easier to reinstall)
Marked around nut, then marked bracket
On reinstall just align marks
4. If you don't have a E 5.5 reverse torx a 5/32 six point socket works equally well.
5. I used a digital angle gauge for step 13.
Using digital angle gauge, truck must be level beforehand

Great write up BTW. Thanks
Thanks for the feedback. I will add the notes on the fog lights and the bumper alignment.
I used an E6 torx because I could not find an E 5.5. It worked just fine.

No and FWIW, I spent a significant amount of time looking for them. I ordered a new trim piece as I painted mine to match the truck. I think it was less than $40.

I do have paint left from the Park assist install and it is only like 30 for it so I may go that way as well
