Every automotive engine oil pump I have seen is a positive displacement pump. As such the output flow is fixed unless the inlet is restricted. If the oil filter has too much restriction it will either bypass or blow off.

CCA may have nothing to do with capacity (amp-hours). Totally different spec. To run a fridge you need AMP-HOURS. My fridge runs at about 30-35 amp hours @ 12 VDC. I deal with conditions in the lower US. Texas, Arizona, Southern Utah… EDIT: Sorry to mislead… OK, I still don’t have this...

DEI?

OK! I bit on this also, due to overloading of my tailgate. Seemed like a good idea at the time…. My last 2 experiences with FPP were nothing less than debacles, so I am not expecting much. So far….a week….(?), zippo email information on my purchase. When it might be shipped, etc. I ordered it...

Rather than add another hour or so to my starting battery capacity, I went with this: It also opens up many other options with regard to refrigerators, etc. You can sleep better at night knowing that your Bronco battery is not being loaded, even though the Bronco protects it from discharge...

I liked your response. Thanks for the reminder. I’m 74 and have jumped a lot of batteries. Now, which side of the BMS should you connect your jumper cables?

Just curious…. Why do you need more capacity (watt hours…amp hours)?

The installation instructions indicate it interferes with the new “exoskeleton“. (support).

That’s a very good question. Here’s my deal. Badlands SAS. 3 x 2 gallon RotoPax containers strapped to the spare tire...42 pounds of fuel and around 30 pounds of container and mount weight. Probably slightly overloaded…. Then when camping last year, I began putting my 5 (6?) gallon water...

No problem. I ended up tapping the flat bar at the roll bar end because I could not get the nut started on top. Too frustrating. The bend in the flat bar was just a WAG. IIRC the flat bar was 7” long overall, but the length is not too critical. I used the standard STARLINK pole mount...

Get your Bronco in a big open area and go 45 to 50 MPH. Actuate the “Parking Brake”. It will quickly bring you to a very controlled stop.

Judgement? No, we are terrified of drivers with out-of-control dogs distracting them and risking our lives. Read the many posts here.

How about something like this? A Chinese food take home container I do LOVE dogs…. However, a lot of people have no clue how to control them properly. My opinion… only after working at an animal hospital for many years.

Can you post a copy of the Ford service printout?

I believe you are correct. I’ve had it a long time, and believe it does have cellular capability which I have never used. Sorry to have misled anyone….
