    The truck is a 1992 fld120 with a N14 celect. Is the data link connector under the hood used for hooking up an eld to this truck? @pup

    I know in the 99 fld with N14 the data link on the motor is the same as the one under dash.
    I used paper log book . ELD required after 1999 model year of motor.

    It also has a round plug near the ECU but I assume the dash harness is whats connected to it. There isnt a plug in the cab. The company I'm leased to requires the eld. That's the only reason I'm even trying to figure it out.

    Some early electronic engines had a small connector in the cab. It looked more like a CB mic plug than a connector you are looking for. I have changed some of them over in Internationals.

    Not trying to be difficult but are you certain it’s a celect and not a mechanical n14 in which case you’re sol. If it’s a celect there’s normally a plug under the dash but it’s smaller than the celect plus plug

    It not mechanical. I'll prob be looking at another truck with the factor 525hp N14. This one is a 1998. From what your saying this should have a the bigger 6 or 9 pin plug?
