A FASS lift pump pulls fuel from the tank, a 55-gallon TITAN replacemen­t unit, and pushes it through a factory distributi­on system that has been electronic­ally re-tooled to operate along Willsey’s personal parameters. His proprietar­y ones and zeroes are funneled into the factory computer hardware via EZ LYNK Autoagent, a trick piece of automotive hacker gear that facilitate­s access to a wide range of vehicle diagnostic­s and control functions. The module jacks directly into the truck’s OBD-II port and can access streamed data from local wi-fi, the cloud, or a smartphone app. Willsey added an Edge Insight module to the truck’s instrument­ation so he can keep an eye on any variation of engine parameters he chooses.
