Quick Commander help!!!

when im tapping the wires to the map sensor and for the coolant do I need to expose the actual copper wire or can I just leave it in the plastic casing? if that makes sense. I called quad and got no answer, im sure they are closed by now. I'm waiting on you guys. thanks for any help.

Use the wire taps that came with the commander. They are kinda cheap but they work.

You don't need to pre-skin the wire, the tap does that itself. Just make sure that you squeeze the tap real good.

thanks 720deere. I got the coolant and map taken care of. Now im dealing with the tranny sensor. The tranny that is in the picture of quadzilla's instructions doesn't match up with the tranny on my truck. here is a pic of what I think I have to remove. Can anyone help me confirm that that is the piece I need to unbolt to install the tranny sensor???? thanks guys. great help so far!!

The test port that you're looking for is barely showing on the left edge of your photo. Several inches forward of the shift lever and about 2 inches up from the pan gasket is a small bolt that you remove and replace with the sending unit.

ok cool. That is the only one I can see. However, on my truck it is to the left of the drain bolt whereas in the quad instructions it shows it being to the right of the drain bolt and the ford logo. Quad's instructions suck. I could write better ones. I took a pic and uploaded it but you answered my question before I could post it. here it is anyway.
