    Title 13 - California Law

    T13 has nothing to do with the steady red requirement. Steady red is ONLY required if the vehicle is responding, they have to have a steady red to be classified as an emergency vehicle. The vehicle can have nothing else on the car except a steady red. T13 dictates the brightness and intensity...

    My 2016 Interceptor Utility

    Update March 2019. I will be adding some pics and videos of the 2017 FPIU. I will get getting a 2019 F150 Responder (at least it should be the responder) in the next month or two. I will post pics of it when I get it. I supplied a Gamber Johnson workstation console for it, so I could mount...

    My 2016 Interceptor Utility

    I never saw this. I know its a couple years late, but I like stuff set up a certain way. And it makes my life easier. Having a tablet lets me map cords for search and rescues and see where I need to go. Cell service sucks in our county, especially in the mountains and canyons, so being able...

    Peterbilt Oversize with Axixtech Torrent

    I enjoyed reading this. I have been on this forum, off and on since 2004ish. To the one that was the naysayer a few posts up. Yes, you do post about a failure here and there, but he doesn't understand that your bar is ran for on a vehicle for 11 hours a day, and these are the only failures...

    Wilson LED conversions - multiple models and repair

    Jazz. You maybe able to find some cheap used for lights on eBay to replace them. That way you can save the LEDs for something else, or sell those and get some extra cash.

    Installing post mount on 2017 Ford F-150

    Great info. Thank you! I am going to be getting a spot light for a 2019 Responder F150. My department has never installed one before as we always order our units with them from the factory. Ford does not offer a factory option for a spotlight and our upfitter won’t touch them. So I am going...

    My 2016 Interceptor Utility

    So an update for everyone. I was issued a 2017 PIU last week. The 2016 only had about 46K on it, but I was given the new one so the 2016 could go to a new deputy that hit a cow with his 2014 PIU, and was in a CVPI now. I was able to switch over my XLT5000 radio, and a few other things like...

    2016 Ford Interceptor Utility headlight flasher?

    I was running that flasher for about 6 months. Never had an issue. But my fuse black started melting at the metal posts. But that is not related to that at all.

    2016 Ford Interceptor Utility headlight flasher?

    So I guess Soundoff Changed it and made it an isolation flasher. http://www.soundoffsignal.com/flasher/documents/ETHFSS-FV.pdf They even have a bracket and install sheet for the 2016+. Funny thing is that when you search for the flasher look up, it still gives you the other one. The only...

    2016 Ford Interceptor Utility Feniex/Whelen Build

    ahhh the LOFS. Yes most are cross deputized. It is a huge private community, and I mean HUGE, and its gated, so they can run any color they want regardless. They have nice trucks, I miss working with them when I was on Merrillville and South Haven.

    New 2016 PIU

    My 2016 was just in the shop too. Not even 20K when it went in. It was blowing white smoke after I would sit for a while, enough to it looked like a grenade went off behind me. Ford could not find anything wrong with it. But the Trans Fill tube was oily. I think that it was never put on...

    Whelen Cencom Sapphire traffic director programming.

    As yogurt said. If you have a WeCan Liberty you can set it to any button you want. If it deletes your bar, when you open the Sapphire, just build the bar that you have and then configure it that way. Just click LIGHTBAR, and then either Import it, or Design it. I find that Designing it is...

    CHP Charger

    Spoke to someone in CHP fleet. According to that word, they are not ordering any more PIU. SO I doubt any 2016+ will ever fly the CHP colors. Word is that they have been having nothing but issues with them. Brakes, transmissions, electronics. I guess there is also an issue with their...

    My 2016 Interceptor Utility

    Also forgot to mention I installed the gun rack. It's red. But was 127 on eBay and when I got it, it was brand new. The wiring for the locks still was factory stripped. It looks like it was NOS from a dept. Yes we want to add a bumper to them. But unless I buy them, the department probably...

    My 2016 Interceptor Utility

    Here is the final version: Code-3 sent me a wiring harness to make the steady burn hook up. I had to make it so it would work with the blue steady as well. I changed the programming on the bar using the Code-3 FPP programmer, which was worth the cost, by the way. I basically have 4 levels of...

    My 2016 Interceptor Utility

    So I tried to do a quick install before work. They used all the wires in their loom. So I ran a trip wire up to under the steering wheel. To connect to a free wire from Ford. I tried to find the high beam wires. Are they in the black plug that goes to the drivers side headlight assembly or the...

    My 2016 Interceptor Utility

    Thank you so much. I was actually looking a little at it yesterday. Trying to figure out how I was going to run a trip wire. It looks like the installers used the factory loom in the engine area that ends under the dash. Then they ran their own loom, like a light bar cable harness, to the rear...

    My 2016 Interceptor Utility

    Sweet. Thank you! I love the front ends of the 2016. Just wish they would have got HLF. And Ford sucked at not saying what was included with the packages and if you want a HLF you have to order the front warning package.

    My 2016 Interceptor Utility

    I actually like the rear how it is. But I am one that uses the traffic advisor on everything. So rear warning flashing is not really an issue since the only cars that see it will be ones I am passing. Lol. I do plan on trying to reduce the amount of rear warning in position one of I can. I...

    Front Rear with no XT6 bar Rear with XT6 I ordered a Code3 FPP programmer and a Sound Off headlight flasher from SirenNet. That should be here Friday. So I plan on changing up the bar a little.

    My 2016 Interceptor Utility

    When my Sgt and I were getting the car finished putting on the graphics, video and radar, I showed him how the grille has the covers where the lights go. I told him there is a way to put LEDs in there. He seemed interested, so it may happen. We may also add push bumpers to them, which means we...
