My 05 is a stripped down work truck and has very few options. The things i can access on the DIC are odometer, trip meter and engine hours. I see by the posts here that others can see MPG, fuel filter life, etc. My question is , is there a way to acess this info besides the buttons (which i don't have) on the steering wheel? It seems hard to believe that the computers would vary depending on the option level of the truck. Thanks

As far as I know the steering wheel controls are the only way to access the other functions on the DIC.

I would try getting the schematic for the wheel controls. Maybe the wiring is there, perhaps another half of a wiring connector under the dash that the base model doesn't use and all you need are contact switches.

Just a shot in the dark but worth a look. Of course if it is board based in the wheel you are out of luck.
