Just got done with the swap. Man does it make a difference!!

 

Wait... your truck didn't come with a tilt steering wheel?

 

I thought all vehicles that new has tilt steering wheel.

 

Nope this was a bare bones truck besides power windows/lock. One of the previous owners added in the cruise control and now I added the tilt. With ford if you wanted tilt or cruise it came with the other.

 

*scratch head*

 

Dang that's one of those things I guess I've just taken for granted lol. Congrats on the tilt!

 

?

My other truck had tilt and all my other ones do. I realized how much I loved it when I didn't have it in this truck. Swap was stupid easy and if you didn't goof off at all. It would take less then an hour to do.

 

mine aint got it

 

Do the swap man its easy!!

 

thought all cars ,trucks came with tilt

 

nah mine doesnt have tilt eiter so how did you d0 the swap just pick a steering column up from a jy? oh btw the tilt looks nice man congrats

 

I've never had a car without tilt.

 

looks good but ill keep my non adj, less parts 2 wear out

 

Right... I always have that problem in every one of my vehicles. Damn steering wheel tilt control wearing out......

 

How hard is it?

 

x2 brian thats why mine is all manual, it sucks sumtimes but owell

 

hehe LOL

Hmmm....Ive never known a vehicle not to have an adj. steering wheel.

Oh well now i know. This thread was a learning success!!

 

wow. my edge came with tilt, cruise, power locks, power windows and that was considered "Standard" when I was looking to buy, back in 2000

 

Any 98+ will work. I got my online. It's hard to find a tilt steering for a manual truck. Bunch for auto's though.

 

x2. dread the day my tilt goes out.

 

I've never adjusted the one in my Sport, haha. But now in the Fusion, oh yeah, very glad its there :-)

 

Umm i'm about 100% sure Brian was being sarcastic lol. Your truck would probably be dead before the tilt mechanics wore out.

Good lol.

Not hard at all. It'll be even easier on your truck. Biggest thing is swapping your ignition if its a chipped key. Otherwise its a strait swap. For mine I had a 01 column and I had to swap over the wiring harness and a few other things on it for it to work right.

 

How to: Is needed now

 

Too late for it. It was very last minute, but it is really simple.

 

good job dam ive been wanting to do this since i bought my truck. What all did you need just a steering column and the lower plastic trim piece? I broke the steering column in my car, i may pick up one for the truck aswell when i head to the jy for it.

EDIT:not to thread jack but does anyone know if a pats steering column will work in a non-pats truck i dont have pats and dont know how common non-pats colums are and will it matter if the donner truck had or didnt have cruise i dont have cruise
