They always do, that's why I turned off auto updates.

Hmm, I may have to actually do this download. About 2 weeks ago my a/c stopped working during a week it was hot as balls out here... After a few days of sweating, I ended up unplugging connector into the low pressure sensor for about 15 minutes, and magically it all came back. Wonder if this...

Probably because they are losing sales.. Me personally, I'm not buying a $70k Bronco, waste of money for me. Sadly, Ford doesn't even allow the 2.7l until you get to a Badlands? Or was it the OBX? Either way, if they made it an engine upgrade from the Base on up they'd sell a TON of them...

I agree, we both know that Ford would go the $100k plus route just because Jeep does it with the 392. They'd rather make an extra $40k off 10 people a year, versus an extra $3k off of 20k+ people a year. Look at it this way, many people in year 1 were buying the Badlands & Wildtrak because...

There's a big difference between Can't Afford and Not Willing to Pay that much. There's no reason why a V8 can't be a simple $3k upgrade. Not like we are asking for a built V8 with 700 hp. Standard V8 that they drop in the F-150's. They can do it for an XLT, so why not a Bronco?

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...
