  1. Why does the auto start stop feature bother so many people?

    I forgot to mention the ForeScan method is kind of iffy. This program tricks the PCM by showing the steering wheel turned all the way to one side or the other. Who knows what could happen if something in the rack and pinion screws up.
  2. Why does the auto start stop feature bother so many people?

    I just ordered the $49 cable from Amazon. It lets you choose the default (on or off) when the ignition is turned off. So you can leave it on or off depending on your circumstances. Replacing a $300 starter motor a year or two early probably isn't a big deal to most folks but replacing a $75 Flex...
  3. DIY Factory Tow Package using OEM parts with Forscan As-built Data (without error codes)

    I ran a separate wire along with the blue wire right from the battery. The reason is you need more amperage especially if you are feeding a trailer. I mean some trailer systems use this voltage to charge the trailer battery while driving. If you don’t plan on towing a travel trailer or even a...
  4. DIY Factory Tow Package using OEM parts with Forscan As-built Data (without error codes)

    Yes that’s what I did. I ran it out through the firewall plug and down to the frame through a plastic harness, fished it through the frame to the rear and up to the Ford (or Curt) harness.
  5. New Ford Beadlock Rims - installed pics

    Exactly. The reason I mentioned it is for the car show buffs and mall crawlers. 😎
  6. New Ford Beadlock Rims - installed pics

    Here are before and after shots of my Sasquatch Wheels. I had the wheels dynamically balanced and I took a test drive on the freeway at 80 MPH. Smooth as glass with the new Beadlock rims. Warning, The Ford Beadlock Rings are made and boxed in China. The rings have a beautiful mirror finish and...
  7. Clutch pedal stuck.

    If the pedal was stuck halfway down the problem could be in the clutch master cylinder or in the slave cylinder. More than likely the throwout bearing got stuck halfway between the top and bottom of the quill. This would account for the clutch burning smell. This problem happens usually because...
  8. Tow Package arrived - contents inside

    This one will work but it doesn't have the 4 Pin Plug. I installed this one...
  9. 285/70/17 Rock Throwing?

    I have the Goodyears and I feel sorry for anyone driving behind me! They will hold rocks for a couple of miles before shooting them at other drivers. I have had other tires that throw rocks but my last set of Nitto Trail Grapplers were great. They rarely threw rocks at all and I live on a gravel...
  10. Used Premium Fuel for the First Time

    Octane boosters contain metal ( ethyl cyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl, MMT [CH3C5H4Mn(CO)3] and Ferrocene [Fe(C5H5)2]). Ford does not recommend using octane boosters because they are detrimental to O2 Sensors, Spark Plugs and the Cylinder Head Valves and Valve Guides.
  11. 2.7 fuel pump failure while going downhill during group trail ride (4200 miles, March 2022 build)

    It would be interesting to see what actually fails with these pumps. Is it the motor itself or a solder joint perhaps? I once had a pump quit on an 82 Camaro right after it was installed. It worked for several minutes then just abruptly stopped. I was thinking maybe a piece of dirt got into the...
  12. Winch wire gauge clarification

    OHMs Law. The current is inversely proportional to the resistance. A threefold increase in the resistance would cause a threefold decrease in the current. (AMPS) The resistance in a wire increases as the length of the wire increases, and subsequently the resistance in a wire decreases as the...

  14. Increase Your Ford’s Bronco Traction Off-Road With ARB Air Locker

    ARB Air Lockers are the best! I had 2 of them in my 67 FJ-40 and a Front ARB along with onboard air in my 07' FJ Cruiser.
  15. The Sams Club tire guy said... bigger tires will tear up my transfer case, transmission, engine, suspension, brakes

    If you have a Discount Tire Store they are very knowledgeable and will put on oversize tires. Their warranty includes free rotation and balance for the life of the tire as well. If you buy wheels they will fit them and if the wheels don't fit they send them back at no charge and order the...
  16. New Under Vehicle Protection Skid Plates Now Available!

    I guess we'll have to agree to disagree Goatman. Cheers!
  17. New Under Vehicle Protection Skid Plates Now Available!

    Goatman, knowledge is power. Curious minds are how we obtain knowledge. When low-speed crawling in the rocks the tin differential cover can get peeled back like a banana. I have seen it many times over the years. I once followed a Jeep on the Rubicon Trail. Actually, I was following his oil...
  18. DIY Factory Tow Package using OEM parts with Forscan As-built Data (without error codes)

    I used a rat tail file to it. The powder coating makes it too tight
