New Truck Mount Considerations
Thinking About a New Truck?
HydraMaster Advisory: January 3, 2008
Ford CDS installations will increase in difficulty and time… and in cost! Ford is going through a parts change at this time. The crankshaft dampener pulley does not have threaded holes for the screws. While parts are available that will provide the correct substitute, the pulley is difficult to remove and the replacement requires a complex torque sequence. This change is reported as of Ford’s 10/07 production.
HydraMaster is working through these issues but it may take some time… and hopefully there will be some improvements that will make the installation easier.
HydraMaster is currently unable to support CDS installations for any 2008 Chevy with a 5.3L engine. The 5.3L is a new flex fuel engine and the CDS throttle controller does not support that engine yet. The controller vendor is working on a resolution and HydraMaster hopes to remove this advisory shortly.
ONCE A SOLUTION IS DEVELOPED FOR EITHER OF THESE ISSUES THEY WILL ISSUE A CANCELLATION TO THIS ADVISORY.
