Call em up, they are very responsive over the phone, e-mail not so much lol
I was gonna take a video the second time, I should have lol
Awesome, doesn’t seem so bad. What about the switch to activate the locker? Were you able to drop in a hero switch board with the front locker button or did you have to plug it to an aux switch?I was gonna take a video the second time, I should have lol
It's fairly straightforward, 4 bolts drops the fdu out and it's just a matter of separating your cv axles at the hub by either the lower control arm bolts or the upper ball joint. The top mount is kind of tough to reach, it's easier to take the 2 bolts out holding the top mount to the diff then it is to take the top mount bolts out of where it connects to the frame.
I did the swap on jackstands with some jacks by myself both times. The diff has to be rotated and wiggled a little to go back in as it's tight but it's doable. The whole swap should take 6-8 hours or less if your mechanical. The programming is straightforward too, the Procal asks you if you have done a fdu swap when you plug it into your computer, you select yes and it downloads the correct module modifications. Then when you flash the tune (as per Procal instructions) it automatically flashes the modules for the Fad delete.
Here's the wiring schematic for the locker from ford, ford performance tech team recommends a switched 5 amp minimum circuit. Pin 2 is the hot pin and pin 1 is ground
No that's the last part there, ford performance recommends a switched 5-10 amp circuit. According to them there isn't a way to do the hero switch swap yet, another member has tried as well. Everyone I know has it on either an aux switch or has put in a switch somewhere in the cab for it
I have one more question. Since you upload the tune with the Procal does it have all the features on the gauge cluster that it would from factory like it tells you the front locker is on and doesn’t let you activate it without the rear locker on and gives your warnings? Or is just like an aftermarket one that you just have to know It’s on and when not to use it?
You just have to remember it's on or use a lighted switch, it won't have any communication with the bronco, only with you. The procal is only disabling the front axle disconnect in the tune and allows you to change gear ratios if need be.
