As of today, my transformation to Lariat “High” is officially complete. I got the powered steering column installed today and it works beautifully. I went 8 for 8 on wire terminals today (unlike previous where I had to rework them all). The mechanical portion of the install was pretty straight forward. It was only an additional 5 bolts/nuts on top of an HSW install. It was a moderate job that took me about 5.5 hours from finishing the wiring harness (had to pin the two connectors, 4 wires in each) to completing the rest of the install, as well as forscan changes and clean up. I also cleared the DTC’s for my ride height sensors (I had to run and HCM calibration), so now I’m hoping the auto level will be noticeable.
Huge shoutout to @JHForman812 for all of his help and expertise with wiring. He has become a good friend since September/October. Big thanks to @Jesse-Infotainment as well for providing most of the knowledge required to make this a lot easier and smoother (all of the retrofits I’ve done to the truck, not just the steering column). @Jmeo and @JScaro has also provided help and insight along the way and deserve my appreciation as well
EDIT: also, if anyone decides to do this in the future, note that the harness for the airbag sensor connector is a little short, literally only need like 1 extra inch of length, but at full extension, there’s a lot of tension on those wires. I tried to free up as much slack as I could, but will likely need to splice in a little extra wire
