TRUCK MOD LIST (Specific to Coyote)

Wiring: removed nearly everything associated with stock engine and trans management from wiring harnesses. Explorer BJB is untouched.
Removed:
- Fuel injectors
- Coils
- O2 sensors
- Cruise control
- Entire evap system
- Idle air control
- Sensors: crank position, cam position, knock, throttle position, MAF

Kept:
- Starter solenoid trigger (the Coyote starts with the stock Explorer key and cylinder, and still has the stock Explorer PATS)
- digital trans range sensor wiring (prevent starting out of park or neutral; wired through Lokar shifter)
- Reverse lighting
- AC clutch
- Crank position (to tap into Coyote CPS)
- Output shaft speed (to tap into 10R80 OSS)
- cylinder head temp, including connector
- oil pressure sender, including connector
- Fuel float and wiring (pump removed, associated wires clipped)
- Various vents and ports on stock tank plugged
- Don't recall which wire offhand, but there's a wire from the Explorer PCM that is hot in start and run. I use that to trigger the inputs on the Coyote PCM.

Frame: small notch in crossmember behind transfer case to allow clearance for rear output flange; new tapped or threaded insert holes for trans crossmember in frame. Minor additions to trans crossmember to allow for relocated mounting holes.

Floor: None. No sheet metal mods anywhere, in fact.

Fuel tank: custom hat for Aeromotive pump assembly

Functional factory fuel, temperature, voltage, & oil pressure gauges. Speedo and tach are not working yet.

Removed stock throttle cable and pedal. Mustang throttle pedal mounted on 2 of 3 mounting studs for stock Explorer pedal, with very minor mods to the Mustang pedal for clearance. Lost adjustable pedal capability, as the motor for that is on the throttle pedal and can't easily be adapted to the Coyote throttle pedal. There is also a small metal bracket spot-welded to the Explorer floor that had to be removed.

Removed stock column shifter, indicator, and brake shift interlock. Steering column lock still works.

Lokar shifter is mounted to the inner center console structure, with careful cable routing to avoid the Explorer restraint control module.

As I said above, this specific post will evolve over time as I either remember things I did, or do new stuff.
