3/25/18, Ahhhhh, big deal. All that trouble just to change a perfectly good steering wheel. 1 other question besides the cost: why wouldn't the middle of the new wheel have worked being the old center fit the new wheel? now for the front valance & rear gate actuator, just some useless junk to sell you.To each his own.

@aaronjones3982

Here's an idea Preston. The reason you change out a perfectly good steering wheel is because Ford won't option a leather steering wheel in a XL, STX, or XLT truck. I personally love the look of a XL or XLT with black door handles and black running boards over the overly chromed Lariat, King Ranch (Yuck), Platinum, and Limited models. See, IMO, the XL with the STX package is the perfect mix of black and chrome although you can not order them with leather steering wheels or leather seats. I will be buying a 2019 F350 XLT crew cab long bed 4x4 6.7 powerstroke (so I get the bumper with fog lights and a center console) and installing a leather steering wheel and Katzkin leather seats so I have exactly what I want at 10-15K less than the chrome models. I realize you think that people have the time to put out videos to be Mr Helper, but in reality some people want to make money. I have no problem buying a part through a link that someone has below their video. If you are going to buy a part, use the link, It costs you no more money to do so and the guy who made the video makes a little money for producing a good video as this was. I realize that sometimes a person gets tired of the constant bombardment of advertisements always in your face at every turn these days, but that is the world we live in. So the next time ABC, NBC, CBS or whatever channel you watch on tv airs a commercial, please call them and complain. Oh, as far as the center of the wheel (the airbag I'm assuming you mean) being used from the old truck. Airbags are kind of expensive so it's good to use your old one. The steering wheel is only $175 -200 brand new.

For anyone who is considering doing this (or has attempted it and struggled - like I did), try using a 3mm allen key/hex wrench. I tried for over an hr with the 4mm and various screw drivers to no avail on my 2017 F250 Lariat. It turns out there is a cone shaped guide to direct your tool onto the the tab (one on each side) which narrows at the deepest point, right before you make contact with the release mechanism. For me, 4mm was too broad and the allen key was hung-up prior to making contact. 3mm slid right through and I popped this sucker off in 30 seconds. Thanks for the original post, another KZread gem!

would you know about swaping the volume controls to the left side?

I did the same swap on a '22 F-250 XL RCLB, as my oily hands seem to destroy these urethane steering wheels that come with base model Fords. Here's some extra tidbits I feel are worth mentioning : - When you're popping the Airbag off, definitely use an 3mm allen wrench or something of the equivalent width. While a flat head or phillips head screwdriver will fit into the holes on the outside of the steering wheel, they will *NOT* fit into the tapered holes that guide you into the space where the spring-loaded retaining rods on the airbag itself are holding it to the steering wheel. I messed around for *way* too long trying to make a screwdriver work before finding a good stiff piece of electrical grounding wire (10 gauge) out of a 4-conductor piece of MC cable I had laying around (all the allen wrenches I had were too short). Only after getting the airbag out did I discover the gouged up tapered holes from said screwdriver. Fortunately, this didn't damage the actual airbag itself. While this seems like something that should be easy enough to do by yourself, *trust me you want a second person unless you're some kind of weight lifter as a hobby or have bionic arms* . Here's why : -Per the Ford service manual, the torque spec for the bolt holding the steering wheel on is *52 Foot Pounds* . Let me tell you how fun that was doing that by myself on something that very much wants to move when you're putting that kind of force on it... both while taking the bolt out and putting it back on. -While a 15/16" socket did work, I found that a *24mm* socket had a little better fit. The service manual (annoyingly) doesn't spec the size of this bolt head, so I had to try a few before I found one that was pretty snug (again, you're going to want a tight fit on that bolt when you've got a 10" extension on a 1/2" ratchet and you've got your legs pressed into the steering wheel to keep it still while cranking that bolt back down to the correct torque (again, if you're doing this yourself) All that said : Thank you very to moostang09 for posting this video, as it gave me a great idea of what I was getting myself into beforehand.

Thanks for sharing! Great video - really appreciate the instructional detail. =) Like Frank C. said above, I'm so glad you took the time and care to point out those little tips/tricks you've learned from previous installs - makes it look super easy.

Wish it would add cruise control to my XL 2017 super duty. Wonder if it's wired for it just not added. I might just swap the wheel out just to see if it works. I will let everyone know after I try it out.

I want to add cruise control to my 2017 F-250 Super Duty. I like the steering wheel swap and getting the buttons and thus cruise control. Do you know if that will work? I’ve seen add on cruise control, but I’d like a nicer wheel and the cruise control built in. Thanks for any help you might provide.

once you have the button part in hand, can you tape the buttons and dip it into water to do hydrographic carbon fiber or can we remove the buttons ?

I get swapping parts out from a higher end model if you have a older lower end model truck if you can’t afford a new one. However, since you bought a brand new one and you wanted the upgraded interior why didn’t you buy the lariat or king ranch etc.?

Good videos.

I just did a conversion from the 4" screen without SYNC in my 2017 250 Super Duty XL to the 8" Sync3 system. The only thing is I don't have the media/radio/voice command buttons on the right side of my steering wheel. Can I purchase this steering wheel and simply plug and play, or would I need to run an additional harness from the wheel to the back of the radio etc? Does anyone know?

Just swapped my wheel on, anyone ever have the airbag light on after doing the swap?

I have adaptive steering on my 2019 F250 and it is intermittently going into alarm status. When it does that, the wheel will cock to one side or the other 30* to 90* out of alignment with front wheels. This sucks. I will be changing out the steering wheel using this procedure to eliminate the adaptive steering. I do not know if I can disable the interface electronically with forscan though. At least the crappy adaptive steering will go away permanently.
