LOL, now I need to do a Shell/Costco/Meijer fuel mileage run off.
Nothing like wasting a few hundred on gas to determine the best fuel for mileage, LOL!!!
Mobil stations are few and far by me, Shell only slightly better, but at least there is one in my hometown.
Edit to clarify that Costco's...
BP should be Top Tier as well. 🤷♂️
The Costco near me always gives me great fuel mileage. Just learned that Meijer (regional superstore type chain) has top tier fuel at their stations, will start logging that data now.
Added 35's to my 2.3/7spd/4.46 Base, using 5th gear to keep boost down, I...
Torx.
Possibly "Torx Plus" for the Bronco bolts. There is a difference.
Which reminds me, I still need to get a Torx Plus socket set.
Not sure if the size is stamped on the tool kit that came with the Bronco??? That should help clue you in.
Like I need another reason to drive faster....
I'll end up with a force field like on Star Trek or something.
State Trooper : Why were you driving so fast?
HoosierDaddy: I'm just trying to keep bugs and debris off my windshield!
I thought this was brought up to the design team back in the reveal days.
They had it swinging the other way but when they designed it to swing more than 90* somebody pointed out it would swing way out into traffic.
That thing would block half a lane of traffic when it's at full open.
Maybe...
My pain comes from my right thigh or sciatic nerve area. I've never had an issue with it before now, but after a few hours in the Bronco .... if I can't use the cruise control, it gets pretty rough. With the cruise on, I can pull my foot up to the base of the seat, like you're sitting in a...
Doesn't happen often, but once in awhile I'll find a pump that is finicky and needs fiddled with.
As others have noted, changing the angle of attack or one of the lower fill rates usually takes care of it.
When that doesn't work, pulling the nozzle out just a tiny amount is the cure, but that...
No time at the moment, on lunch break. I need to freshen up on your build process.
5.13s?
Are you jumping up to 37s?
Did you install the 37s yet?
Really interested in how the new lower gears would run out with the 35's.
Lol, curious how the 37s would roll with the old 4.46's and manual!
I look...
Being in the construction trades and having safety jammed into us one way or another for 20 years .... I now feel naked if I don't have leather gloves, glasses and hearing protection on when I mow and weedwhip.
My how the pendulum has swung!!! LOL
(At work, small screen, not much time... )
It's all relative!
With 4.46 gears and 35's, 6th gear is just too tall. Too much loss of mechanical leverage, so the motor has to go into boost just to maintain speed.
What rpms are you running with your current set up? , at what speed?
My butt...
You'll be fine with 4.46 and 35's. Not the perfect ideal, but it will roll out just fine.
If you absolutely MUST waste as much fuel as possible .... use 6th gear.
1st went from being quite over-geared with my stock 30's to just ever so slightly under geared on the 35's.
2345 are all fine at...
