did you get that ratio list from AI? There shouldn’t be both a crawler gear and a 7th gear. The gears are C+1 to 6, it’s a 7 speed when you count crawl as a gear.
gotta use wool wax. My factory Billie’s have 3 winters on them and hardly a rust stain. Now on threaded body coil overs, it’s a huge pita to remove the gunk so you can adjust them, but it’s possible.
I can’t imagine driving a Bronco for an extended period at 90. Mileage already drops off a cliff over 60, from like 20 down to 14 by 75, you’ve got to be down to single digits by 90. And depending on your tire size you might actually get better mileage in 5th than 6th even at that speed if it...
Yeah I’m really not sure what ford was thinking with 6th gear. It only makes sense on the badlands non-sas gearing. I can’t imagine it on any of the lower numerical geared trims that have 33s.
How many repeated high speed stops are you making that the thermal capacity of the stock brakes is insufficient? Stock brakes, even with the stock pads, can easily lock up any 33” AT tire on dray pavement for at least two high speed stops a row. You could probably pad that to at least half a...
This video didn’t even catch the thing most people are doing that’s the worst, using below 91 octane fuel. I don’t have a get gauge but I can tell you the 87 engine tune has higher egts. It runs more boost and significantly lower timing on 87 than 93, both have cause higher exhaust gas...
Probably should do a new clutch before you do the turbo then. Anyone know if the auto trans flex plate has the same ring gear diameter as the manual flywheel? If that’s the case quartermaster will make you a button style twin disk that stacks on top of the flex plate for fairly cheap.
Probably more accurately, a 4 door jeep is what their wives want and a 4 door bronco is what their husbands bought for them because they didn’t want to deal with Fixing a heep.
Yup I keep saying, if they put the bronco 7 speed in the Ranger and keep the 7k tow rating I’ll fighting people to get the first one off the line and trade my f150 in for it. Otherwise that truck is going to be replaced with a used f150 or some used ev truck depending on how many more years I...
Kind of like that bike except the “top” eye of the shock will connect to either a bracket on the front of the axle tube or the lower control arm near the axel tube and take a mostly vertical movement path. The bike is setup as if your shock is at the front ends of the control arms instead of...
If you want to unfuck the rear shock linkage without cutting into the cab, look up the floating shock linkage. You’ll keep you link, but move the pivot a lot closer to the stock shock mount and mount the “top” eyelet of the shock back to the axle. It’ll take up the same physical space as a...
Yeah 4.7 feels pretty good on 33s. I can’t imagine doing it with 35s or any of the shorter geared models on 32s, I can just barely stay in 6th on pretty much any grade at 75.
yes, exactly this. Badlands gets you all the good stuff the sas comes with except you get better looking wheels, you get k02s which are way better than the gy wranglers, and you get normal sized flares, plus you get the sway bar disconnect. Essentially for the sas as an “upgrade” over the...
What’s the point of the aftermarket dv? Does the stock one not stay closed at higher boost levels or do you want to switch to vacuum controlled? If the later you could always save a ton of money and use whichever factory VW or Audi dv that fits, those hold up well to 30+psi.
4A unless you’re crawling. The tuning ford did with this system is absolute magic in the snow. With k02s in the snow it’ll go and turn better than a lot of fwd cars with snow tires, slush or ice is a different story.
4A is really what you should stay in, there’s no fuel mileage penalty and even...
