To be honest I just slapped it into Bambu Studio and sliced all plates. Normally I would mess around and flip objects if it's beneficial. So the 450g it returned seemed like a pretty good baseline. In the past I looked into adding color to the name & logo, but that returned quite a bit of waste.

Been there, done that. That's what I use cheap PLA for :wink:

Looking back at this and putting it through Bambu, I'm coming up with about 450g of filament. So talking half a spool approximately. Granted if you wanted color for the name or logo, that would use considerably more just because of waste. So where $70 was almost sounding about right, with new...

If you don't have a printer, and don't want to spend $70 (which is a nice donation to the library), I'd suggest you ask someone here to print it for you. I don't remember what the true cost of material was, but it's not as bad as the library makes it look. The worst part about that print is...

I'm a bit confused, do you have the upfitter switches? Normally you'd just tie into one of the wires under the hood. Only reason to use a fuse tap is if you don't have switches and want something to turn on when the truck is on.

You do like those of us who had a recall for the 2.7's for the valves... you drive it for a year + wondering if it will break down. Eventually they'll come up with a plan of attack, test your engine (probably) and send you on your way with an extended warranty on the engine. It's the Ford way...

You say easily, I say another $600+ out the window. When I never had this issue in the past with non-turbo engines. Wouldn't a pedal commander help with throttle lag? Have that installed, still not the same as driving a non-turbo engine.

After reading your post, you can see why I'd rather Ford just drop a V8 in these things. And not some stupid Jeep 392 for $100k, just make it a $5k add or whatever for a standard V8, call it a day. Look at everything you had to add to your Bronco just to fix this one simple issue of turbo lag.

With these gas prices? And with this being a truck and not required, I don't bother with 93 octane. I've run a few tanks on it, never saw a great improvement and figured it was a waste of money. As for you 90's with the 302, that engine had nothing on the 351. No the 351 wasn't a rocket, but...

When he said the 3.73 gears make more boost, I took that as the turbo spooling, creating more boost. I don't believe it's a shifting thing either. If I were to simplify just for myself, Go with 3.73 gears if you want less acceleration, better gas mileage, go with 4.70 gears if you want better...

Aww shucks, a fellow (albeit ignorant) Jerseyan put me on ignore, after starting with me... How will I ever go on with life? Should've known based on your list of vehicles. And yes, flick of the wrist to a useless Sport Mode is always the right choice I assume? Thank you @Snacktime, that...

This is my 4th. I love the Bronco. Hate the engine. No need to worry about whether or not a vehicle I purchased is for me or not, I'm old enough to make my own decisions. :wink: But thanks for your concern.

No point missed... 1. Sport mode considerably sucks down more gas. 2. Tried Sport mode in the past, stomped pedal... truck accelerated (or lack there of), about the same as Normal mode, just slightly more responsive. 3. Installed pedal commander... still turbo lag. 4. The 2.7l is a little bitch...

I think you may have missed my point.. Not worth my time... because it isn't, I'm not looking for a sports car with 35's. I'm looking for something that'll tow a trailer, and go when I hit the gas. That's why I could care less about getting a tune.

It's not worth my time to put it in Sport mode, which mind you I have in the past..... and it was only slightly quicker. Still would lose to the 2.3l. And it's not like I'm driving in a Mustang, I don't need to do 0-60 in 3.4 seconds. But if you mash the pedal, it doesn't move. If you're...
