Hey Mike, it is the EZ 4x4 middle panel roof rack., works very well at keeping that center panel secured when it is not on the bronco. with that said, it works great as an actual rack also.
still does everything it did before i put them on, it wasnt a rock crawler before. i take it to my ranch, play in the mud, go 85 down dirt roads, still a whole lot of fun, hope you have as much fun with yours as i do with mine
They are the -18 offset and i am running the hypercoil 2in HD front and rear, can not speak to how they fit on a factory set up
the ride compared to stock is exactly the same, as far a acceleration, this combo is lighter by 8 pound per wheel or so and i am not sure i notice a difference. I have...
I’ve now tracked this over three full tanks and averaged all of the data.
For each tank, I filled it completely, noted the starting DTE, tracked the miles driven, fuel consumed, and monitored the fuel gauge throughout the tank.
Like @rayofsi, when my DTE reached 0 miles, I was able to put...
I have been tracking my fuel vs miles driven on the guage at 3/4, 1/2. 1/4 and when fuel light comes on. it is constant at least across 2 and 1/2 tanks so far. i also have a friend doing the same in his bronco. then we can see percentage of fuel used. i should have some good data early next...
you are right, we are not on the same page. In fact, we are not even reading the same book.
The first issue is actually very simple. If the truck believes it only has a 20-gallon fuel tank, the DTE will never be correct, regardless of where the float sits or how it is calibrated.
The first...

Who cares if we cant update the tank size. that is the first step, once we can update the tank size we can verify how far off we are on the second step. there is an order of operations and you are worried about step 3 or 4
This is the formula for the DTE
Distance to Empty = Usable...
unless we can get in to update the amount of fuel the bronco think it holds then it wont matter, still looking for that magic bullet on how to update from 20 to 30 gallon tank
Ok so i have spend more time that i wanted to verify :)
the depth at fuel hanger of the new tank is 3/8 of an inch deeper than the depth at fuel hanger of the factory tank. So lets call it 1/2 an inch to make sure we have some extra give.. seeing as the float is fixed, there will be a point...
Im not arguing that the tank is taller, but this is not a new problem with the Bronco. i installed a 55 gallon in f350, that tank was taller, longer and wider. the DTE is still representative, in the f350 if i get 10mpg with a 55 gallon tank i should have ~550 miles at the upper most range of...
The float is fixed on the fuel pump assembly, and it has a finite range of motion, and so far looks to be accurate with consumption. Fuel light comes on gauge does not fall abnormally. The issue that im seeing is that while ford has a tank size setting in forscan under the IPC module it is...
Well that is not fun, i was hoping that FDRS at least had the option to update the tank value in the PCM section. hopefully someone smarter than i am can help up get this figured out
