OK, so I just received my AMP Research powerstep from Real Truck to install on my 4th gen Sport. The installation took awhile and then when I got to the part in the manual to connect the OBD plug to the truck's wiring system there is nothing in the install manual that tells or shows you which wire to splice into. It says blue and white wires, but the problem is that there are 5 white wires and several blue ones. Called Real Truck and they were unsure but assumed which two. I tried their suggestion, but didn't work. Now I have to wait for their engineering folks to email be back some day. So, the frustrating part is my truck is all torn apart now and the assume wires appear not to work. Has anyone else done an install yet and has any information on the correct wiring..
Thanks

Here is a picture of the plug that needs to be tapped. One can see that there are several white wires. I was trying not to have to tap each wire separately to see if that was the correct one.

So, I was able to work out the wiring issue.

For anyone else doing the install I have attached a picture of the correct wiring. Also, be aware that the motors will run backward out of the box and you will need to reverse the two wires going into the plug to get the correct orientation. Hard to say if they will correct this issue.
I hope this helps others taking on this project.
