I'm installing a SnowDogg EX80II on my 2024 F250 SuperDuty. I need to get the connector pictured below from the engine compartment to the cabin.
I've got the upfitter switches and wiring, but that only helps with the power lead attached to the connector (red wire in photo). Where can I find an opening large enough to push the connector through? Barring that, what's the best approach to drilling a hole?
This is behind a paywall, so unless you subscribe to the Detroit News, you can't read it. Henry Payne, the News auto writer, also races cars, He was at Lemans as a spectator. His observations:
"If Penske didn’t get the chance to climb the Le Mans podium, Ford Executive Chairman Bill Ford Jr. did — celebrating with his team of third-place drivers in the #88 Mustang GT3. The Mustang was the surprise of the race, challenging the favored Porsche, BMW and pole-sitting McLaren teams for the win. Early contender #77 Mustang fell by the wayside, but the #88 and #44 cars took up the baton and battled all night long through rainy conditions that got so difficult that the pace car was deployed under the yellow flag for three hours because the 8.5-mile track got so dicey. Both the Mustangs and Cadillacs featured naturally-aspirated V-8s, and their distinctive, Motown tune could be heard around the track around the clock."

It just seems like the car isn't as nimble in the corners, BOP might be able to take some weight out of the car to rectify this, we'll see. There's only so much you can do with a blocky, large car when racing against low, sleek mid-engine cars.
I'm happy they achieved this result, and I'm confident they'll improve as time goes on. I just don't see this thing being as competitive as the gt sadly.
Ford did it with the gt dude. They won at Laguna Secca and at Le mans in their first year. I'm not expecting the mustangs to get first constantly. But in most races, they've been near the back of the pack.
You expect a brand new team with a brand new car to get podiums right out of the gate? Thats not at all realistic. They’re still learning how to setup the car and how to drive it. Not to mention BOP rules.
The saddest part was the car that got hit, was in 2nd pushing for the lead, and almost getting it. He was the fastest of the mustangs in qualifying, so there was a change he would have placed even better.
