HOSS 3.0 severe duty STEERING RACK and TIE RODS ...Ford Performance M-3200-WT

[Bmadda]

Thanks for this information, most helpful yet and you are correct! My problem at this point is I think I need to use a newer version of forescan. As I can't get it to read the PSCM data or as built? Additionally I believe the calibration code is different for the WT 3.0?

Did you get it to read your old one? You probably don't have any data on the new one yet for it to read

If you have the auto HS/MS bus switching adapter, it doesn't work right. You need the manual one.

Care to elaborate on this? My current auto HS/MS switch adapter has been working great ( up to this point) I was able to change tire size for example.

Following. Thanks for taking on this project guys.

You only get half the modules. IOW, you don't even know what you're missing.

It's crazy with all the people on this forum someone has to have some connection at Ford to shed some light on this modification.

As an FE owner, I am definitely on board to make this upgrade. At this time though I had purchased and installed the BroncBuster Steering upgrades (Housing and Bushing). I am very happy with these upgrades and look forward to upgrading my entire steering rack probably in about 5 years to see what weak points (probably the same as the OEM) will have. Good luck to the OP for being the brave soul getting our Broncos to the next level .

I'm gonna try, maybe tonight. Been way too busy, and still too busy, but it's driving me nuts that it's just sitting there!

So its not looking good for me either. I can't get any of my software to work w/the Bronco. My scan tool is freshly updated but doesn't support PMI on this particular vehicle (which was somewhat expected). Tried FJDS, and it detected the vin and told me "use FDRS only on this vehicle". Ok so I downloaded FDRS and got it to detect the Bronco's VIN only to get this error message when I try to proceed.

If I try offline mode, the only available choices for 22my are Maverick and Super duty. Looks like unless @BigMeatsBronco can figure out how to do it w/forescan we are all c@ckblocked for the time being! AAAARGH!

What happens if you use offline mode and enter the VIN of a HOSS 3 WT?

The check sum might give an error, but it's worth trying.

I see this error all the time at work. Most of the time it’s because of a Ford server issue. It has nothing to do with the vehicle. I would probably try it again tomorrow.
Also, what version are you on and what are you using to connect to the vehicle? Is it properly setup in FDRS?

Brand new version downloaded from the site today. Whatever updates it suggested during install I had it do. I did get an email that FDRS server was down on the 15th...woulda thought it's fixed by now, but who knows what the rockstars effed up this time. For vehicle connection I use a j2534 device. It works, I am flashing the PCM on an 04 Ranger as I type this. FDRS detected my device just fine, and detected the Bronco's VIN just fine, it just doesn't know wtf a 22 Bronco is. Makes sense if it can't access the online library to decode the VIN tho...gives me hope!

Edit...I have downloaded forscan newest version and it has some new features, but still won't pull up any PSCM data.

Mine seems to pull it ok. V2.3.48

Can't "enter vins", or even choose Bronco as a model...only Maverick and Super duty
