Finally got around to testing all the usb and 12v outlets. USB in compartment work, and all of my (4) 12v outlets work, as well as the 120v. The (2) front usb do not work. Even though I tapped into the 6pin with a 6pin (3 wires). Do I need more than the 6pin? All I want it for is charging.

I always wanted a RCSB with buckets and a center console...   Received and installed mine yesterday. Very straight forward, thanks for all who posted instructions and part numbers.   Possibly to h

In order for the USB hub to work, it needs the 6 pin and the USB. The HMI has two usable USB ports. Green and black. If you have the (2) Port USB up front, there should be (2) USB ports in the back. The left side port accepts a grey USB. The right side is an output an accepts a black USB cable.

If yo want to keep the glove box USB (Green - Female USB Receptacle), then you’ll need.

Black -> Grey (from HMI to front USB)
Grey -> Brown (to feed the brown female jack in the front). Or Black to Grey (if you completely removed the full console harness).

Hope this makes sense.

I might need this harness you're going to build.  In some of you pictures it showed 2 orange plugs under the radio.  My truck does not have those even though I have the LT with 8" screen.  I want all only plugs to work if possible

The two orange plugs is for the 110V Outlet.  Do you not have that now under the radio?

My harness will not have provisions for this.  This connection is dependent on the DC to AC Adapter behind the radio.

For the outlet plug... yes. I don’t know what the requirements are for adding that. I know the inverter is behind the radio.

The USB Ports and 12V Cig lighter Plugs should be easy.

That would even work. The usb and cigarette lighter plugs. Only 1 plug has power up front and both of the usb inside the console lid work. I'd like to get as much working ad I can along with the wireless charger. I figured I wouldn't be able to get everyrhing working but if I can get those few things going I'll be very happy

Yep. The 2nd Cig lighter up front is on a separate circuit, but can be easily tapped by the one next to it.

For the USB ports... do you have one in the glove box? Is it working?

The HMI only has (2) USB outputs that you can use. So we have to be “creative” with how to wire it up.

IF the front USB is a dual, you have a 16/17 model hub. It has an Input and an output, and you can daisy chain from it.

IF you have a triple USB up front, this is the 14/15 version and only has (1). Input in the back.

Yep.  If you take the front Dual USB out and look at the back side, you should see (2) USB Ports and a 6-pin.  One of the USB ports is an input (comes from the Black Port of the HMI - is Grey coming in). Should be a black to Grey USB Cable.  THEN, the other port is an output.  This needs a Black to Grey USB Cable to feed the inside compartment USB Hub.

 

IF you are using the brown USB Cable that comes with the console, then you need to figure which color combination you need.  The key is coming FROM the HMI to the front USB port first.  Then feed off of that one to the inside compartment. 

 

So essentially, you need (2) Black to Grey USB Cables.

Basically - your HMI only has (2) USB outputs. It can only feed (2) Hubs.

 

In your case, and in the case of us 2016+ owners that wants to do this... we have 3 hubs.

 

- Glove Box (1 USB)

- Front Console (2 USB)

- Inside Compartment (2 USB)

 

In order to get all 3 locations live, 1 cable will go from the HMI to the Glove. This is the existing Green to USB cable (already present)

 

This leaves you with the Black USB port on the HMI. From here, you have to go the front console USB (Using a Black to Grey usb Cable).

 

Then, the other port of this hub feeds the inside Compartment hub

 

PM and can send pics of how this is done.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sad thing is that this doesn't have to be the case. LSPI can be solved without a reduction in TBN. Swap Ca for Mg.  Cats are not a issue if the OEM can get a ring and valve guide seal even at SN levels of SAPS. Dizzy is purring like a kitten with a bowl of warm milk. 200K of Full SAPS oil and zero detonation issues and nice a clean inside and out. This shouldn't be an issue. It isn't 1920.    Tell ya what AMSOIL SS is excellent at, internal cleanliness. The new formula is even a step up from their already outstanding cleanliness levels. Can't say the OEM offering is quite that clean. There marketing suggest the SS is cleaner.     That is the only defense with at shelf oil. Nothing wrong with them if you ignore the marketing and OEM 'recommended' OCI and use a thimble full of common sense. 😉 You go sir.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By StingerZ16 · Posted

      I started with a folding cover by BAK PAC on my 2500. It went bad after close to 5 years. Bent and vinyl coming loose. Contacted BAK and they gave me a very good discount on a Revolver. Had it a number of years. Mostly outdoor storage. Some garage storage. Vinyl started to come loose. Still under warranty so they replaced to cover. Sold the 2500, bought the 1500 and got another revolver for it. Had it a couple years now and no issues. I store it indoors. Got a bit of discount when buying it as well. If you are seeing problems, contact BAK or real truck and let them know. Customer service was pretty good. But I think they changed their warranty.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I agree, there is no one answer fits all as every rig is different, one may be pulling some little aluminum fishing boat while another is towing a monstrosity that weighs a lot and hopefully the owner if the rig has some prior experience to know what drive mode they should choose.    It also struck me and this is from watching a few of those boat ramp escapades videos in the past, Ford being one of the vehicles that has the auto front axle hubs and sure enough its found out that one hub has crapped out and won't engage and may not have manual hubs to even select on both sides so they are on the boat ramp stuck with no four wheel drive and spinning .... they flat out need a tow to get up the ramp and deal with the vehicles new found issues. That can happen to all brands of pickup, finding out either four wheel drive or 4 low isn't working right at the time its needed it to work as some electronic crap has failed.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its possible you never had the joy of the crappy boat launches we tend to have around here or really some of them are just grades down to the river if its a river scenario and the conditions change all the time with the river levels and silt deposits. Some of the lakes we went to years ago, there was no such thing as a cement pad that went down into the water that the trailer stayed on, it was gravel maybe up to the water line and then duck crap much beyond that so sinking the boat tires into mud. Of course some of the more established lakes had a cement bar type boat ramp but sometimes it was covered in green slime closer and certainly within the water and a two wheel drive had all sorts of fun if one had to touch that slime with the rear tires.    A neighbor of mine had made a comment years back with his chev truck that was probably about the same year as yours but a half ton extended cab 4x4 and he a a fiberglass boat with an inboard so it wasn't a feather weight and he had gone out to one of the large popular lakes in the area and don't ask me how this happened but he was in two wheel drive as he figured he didn't require four wheel drive for that boat ramp and somehow upon pulling the boat out he twisted one of his drive axles. I suspect it must have spun and then grabbed on the cement ramp and shocked it to the degree of twisting it. He would have had the standard 8.5 or whatever it was axle housing as the 9.5 ring gear like my truck has also has larger drive axles as far as I know. Anyway he was feeling a vibration driving home and had it checked out and a shop found that the tire/hub was wobbling because of the axle had twisted so in went a new drive axle. After that bad experience he said he made sure to put it into four wheel drive to lower the stress on the rear axle. Of course that is where an HD truck can handle a lot more stress and no doubt these newer half tons with their larger ring gears probably have larger drive axles as well to match vs back in the day.

      Desirable - as in does someone WANT one, aspire to have one. Could reasonably buy any car they want and CHOOSE these instead.    I didn't watch the video, why did they win?
