awsome!! thanks for the help, can measure the threads and work it out

finally recieved my cobalt oil pressure gauge but have a query, how do people on here hook them up to the motor? mine has a oil pressure sender like there is in the side of the block but is this alright?? I have the feeling if I use this sender and disconnect the standard one it might bring the oil light on the dash? any help is greatly appreciated

I have a line level converter ready for the job, was considerin runnin the speaker wires from the icc purely to the line level and runnin new wire for now to the speakers from the head unit and when I get a suitable amp then runnin the wires from the amp to the speakers

anyone noticed when these utes are lowered they seem to be a lil bit uneasy in the back end?? mine is sometimes when hitting potholes but I can throw it hard into a corner and it just turns.. weird.. only since it was lowered

so have my headunit, went the alpine ida-x305s, gonna run a LLC to use the ICC as a aux input but also lookin at a 5 channel amp with full speakers and a sub down the track but for now was thinkin about how to hook up the factory speakers to the headunit. was considering running new cable from the HU to the speakers and retain the factory wiring from the ICC but thought it may have noise.due to both using the same speakers.. any thoughts??

As the topic suggests I am after some elp with choosing a sub for my ute, will run a seperate amp so after peoples experience on what works, have alpine hu and will get speakers so a full alpine package would be great but whatever works Thanks

Well alpine special price of 500 ill take the 300 one lol. I think I saw a wiring diagram on here somewhere but im thinkin now of runnin new wires to the headunit or the amp if I get one and just run the icc wires to the line converter makin it nice and neat

Haha eBay I got it through. Thought it was in the country but was overseas, should have it by the weekend and was 300 shipped!! Thanks for the help, will have a look tonite and get the last few bits and if you have a guide to hook it all up that would be sweet!!

Issue resolved now. Found out that the second gear band is f***** the gearbox changes from 1st to third and that's all. No overdrive

Glad to hear you have some direction to fix ya issues mate. Dunno why ford or the other guy who looked at it couldn't see it. Did it ever throw a engine light on the dash?

So I have bought an alpine iDA-X305S head unit, I have read somewhere that it is possible to run the icc through the head unit as an aux input. How would this be achieved? Not the greatest audio expert but can do some basic stuff
