F150 owners - Need some pointers!

[ls2poweredgoat 5,000+ posts]

Later this week I'm doing a full system install on a 2007 F150 reg cab, I'm kind of nervous 'cause I don't want to fvck something up and have this big black guy kill me.

Anything in particular I should keep an eye out for? What side of the truck is easiest to run the wiring, is there a grommet already in place where I can slide the power wire through??

Look just behind the battery and a bit to the drivers side on the firewall, there is an oval shaped grommet there, cut the center out and your good to go. I got a run of 4ga and a run of 8ga through it. It took a while to snake the cable down the inside from that grommet but it will go. The channel under the sill plates are stupid deep....easy fit of wiring in there, either side.

...and aren't you the mcdonalds pimp?

Ahhh, thank you so much for the tip, I'm sure that will save me some time.

Yeah, I'm the McDonalds pimp. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif But that's another story lol.

If it's not to late, when you take off the door panels, be careful there are clips that pull out and then there are a couple plastic fingers that hook into openings to hold the panel also. You have to lift the panel to get these loose. If just pull the panel you will break these fingers off and it won't go back on tight. I know I did it on mine.
