# Putting the Truck on the dyno

1. Start by jacking the rear end of the truck up. Use a Heavy-duty jack and position the jack under the rear differential. Lift the truck up a few inches off the ground. Be careful not to damage anything.

2. Using the 1/2-inch impact driver remove the 6 21mm lug nuts from the wheel, carefully remove the wheel, and put it away on the wheel rack in the dyno room

• Install the 2 Spaces like the picture below. Followed by the 6 to 5 Lug adapter, using 6 19mm Lug nuts to tighten the adaptor to the Wheel studs to 150 Ft-lbs

  

• Once the 6 19mm lug nuts are tightened install the second half of the adapter using the 8 5/16th bolts. Do not over-tighten them.
• Install the 5-bolt dyno adapter with 5 19mm lug nuts and torque these to 100 Ft-lbs

  

• The sliders might need to be adjusted for proper fitment.

Once all of the Adapters are installed correctly and torqued to specification You will want to slide the dyno hubs on the Dyno adapter. You might need to move the jack up and down to easily slide the hubs into place. Your finished product should look like the picture below.

• Lower the truck onto the hubs and remove the jack from below the truck

3. Open the hood and locate the following items, The ABS plug is required for any dyno work, If you are going to do any Sealevel testing you will need to locate the ECU.

• The ABS Plug is located on the driver's side of the engine bay right below the master cylinder.
• The plug will have a red Security lock. This must be unplugged to run the truck on the dyno.

  

4. The ECU is located on the Passenger side of the engine bay above the battery.

• Remove the 3 large ECU connectors, then carefully remove the plastic cover, There are 6 clips on the cover. 2 on top 2 on the bottom, and 1 on either side.
• Once the cover is removed use a 10m Socker and remove the 2 nuts holding the ECU bracket to the body of the truck.
• Remove the ECU from the car, and remove the black little cover on the front side of the ECU, to run the Pressure reference line.
• Reinstall the ECU and leave it in the Engine bay During dyno use.

# Configuring the dyno software

1. Turn on the dyno computer from the Dynapack tower. There is a switch on the backside.
2. Once booted, open DAQPLUS located on the desktop.
3. Hit F8 to open the folders page. Select the desired folder (Xodus_2020_F150) in this case. Hit enter and select the desired reference run Hit enter again, A pop-up will come up, and tab over To compare and hit Enter again, This will load up the correct ratios for the specific vehicle.
4. Hit F1, this will bring you to the main page of the software. From here you will be able to do steady state runs or full sweep runs. This is indicated by the RPM on the upper left-hand side. If it shows 2000 RPM the dyno will do a sweep run. And if the dyno shows 3000 RPM the dyno will maintain the vehicle at a steady 3000 RPM
5. For a sweep run, get the car into the desired gear quickly (5th gear for this truck) and the dyno will load up and settle on 2000RPM. Once the dyno reaches this it will automatically start a sweep run. You can do up to 6 runs before you need to clear the chart.
6. You can now compare your data. Or continue to make changes to your tune until satisfied.
