Hey Ken...just got my wiper delay today. I'll be sending you a check tomorrow. Thanks a lot for staying on top of the Vancouver guy testing it on an '03. Can't wait to install it!!

Peace....

Ken,

Thanks for the note on the windshield wipers, I'm taking the X in for it's 12k check-up next week, and will get them to have a look at the low-speed motor then. Your name popped up in my neck of the woods as the cunning developer of a much needed IRWiC (I posted your reply on SOXC in case anyone else had the same issue).

At X-Mas, I drove the truck from Ottawa to Victoria and back (over 10,000km's) in 3 weeks of snow, sleet, ice-rain - you name it. There has never been a mod more needed. You *are* still selling them, I hope... can you ship to Canada? What's your preferred method of payment? Speaking of payment, I heard you were having trouble collecting some accounts - need any knee-caps tapped north of the border? :-D

Anyway - I'll take one if you'll send it. I understand it'll be a few bucks more for shipping, and that the exchange rate's a killer. Just let me know how much, and where to send the $$ (COD/even Prepaid is fine). Drop an eMail to sdjb@hotmail.com.

Thanks a ton!

PS - Since you're into this sort of thing.... another mod I'd heard about,
was a disabler for the clutch safety switch (so you don't have to hold the
clutch in when you're starting the truck). I used to do it all the time in
the army - *real* handy in certain situations - and no mod required in old
army trux. The mod I saw was basically a little round button (the kind that
glows when it's activated) on the steering column in front of the key; it
connected the "clutch-in sensor" (listen to me - pretending I knew what I
was talking about), fooling the ignition into believing it was safe to
start. The ignition would stay fooled for about 20 seconds, and then go
back to normal.

PPS - Another mod I'd love to have, is an Air-Bag disconnector. You flip it
on when you're out in the woods, and your Bull-Bar is bashing through the
brush (uhh.. gently, of course). A buddy of mine's bush-guarded Ford
Explorer Sport was moving through tall grass (saplings, knowing him) at a
fair clip and it set off his air-bag... which really sucked. Black eyes,
broken nose, broken Oakley's, dust everywhere, and a $600 bill to get it
re-packed (he fought with the dealership on it, and won, but the hassle!).
There oughta be some way of just saying "no... I don't need my airbag right
now, I *want* to bump into things". Don't ya think?

SGT B-

The clutch interlock disabler was done by Coolerman and in fact there is a review of his kit in the XOC review section. It appears to be very well made.

I'll e-mail the details for getting a wiper delay module. I appreciate the offer of encouraging payment from my northern neighbors, but for now we can leave their kneecaps intact.

I think the idea of being able to disable the air bags in the woods is a great idea but I won't touch it. These days someone's attorney would have me living in the park in a box very quickly.

Alright lets make this one longer.

Ken,

I just sent you a PM.

Thanks
Kevin

Hey Ken, just received my wiper delay - looks great. I scanned through all the posts but did not see any pointers on the best way to pop the switch out. Anyone have any tips? Small screwdriver (like for eyglasses)?

I don't know how good this will help ya out but if you look at the picture I attached below you can see how the fog light switch is held in place well the plug on the wiper delay is very similar to this...you can use a small screwdriver like you mentioned or if you want you can try reaching it from underneath the dash and squeeze it from behind to prevent any damage to the clips..

Thanks a million - that helps a lot. It was a sinch to pop out - I used a small eyeglass flathead screwdriver with a piece of this cloth over it and popped it out - piece of cake.

How much is it now and what does it take to install? And how do you like payment?

It's $25, it's easy to install, and I like payment very much.

I've e-mailed the details.

ElectroKen
I want one.

Would you mind emailing me with the process?

Thanks.

I will also take one please let me know at crmandy@hotmail.com

Hey Ken thanks again for the switch I just got it in after 3 months of having it. LOL. I have picks of it going in did not notice till later it is variable so I mounted it behind a dash brace so it was exsposed to change the speed if I want. Check it out on my website under my gallery.

It's certainly the most documented wiper mod installation.

The adjustment can be brought outside the box and given a knob if you really want adjustability on the fly. I've had only one request for that so far and he didn't go through with it in the end. The idea of blasting a hole in the dash and attaching some crappy Radio Shack knob makes me queasy.
