pain free once you've got a solution :laughing:

beats some fluke where it really was burning up the transmission or something stupid. hopefully this makes it into the Caution label whenever these get sent out in the future

For sure. As of now the owner seems very involved in every set that goes out. This is the reason he built a "trial run" of 10 sets.

I guess next they are working on new tacoma and tundra. A tundra on portals and 40s would be so badass

Maybe the collision stuff is going haywire because the computer is asking itself why it's so high off the ground? Probably not it but that sure would be some shit if it was...

I’ve heard that Ram TRX with 37s or a lift or something along those lines will lose backup assist because of the height, so that could be a possibility

Good thought and reminder. I read that there was a measurement to input for height of mirrors or fenders or something to the ground to help with camera calibration and the alert when cars are next to you

Right, something along those lines. Have you looked into Forscan? I doubt there’s adjustability there but might be worth a shot. At the very least it might just give a more detailed overview of what’s going on or IDS but I don’t know how / if IDS is available to Gen. Pop

I got forescan and the main issue seems to be resolved
 
Hope that was it and it’s solved. So…when you heading this way to use it?

ford is dumb for calling it a clutch slip mismatch and dropping engine power rather than the olden thyme's when a bad/unexpected/incorrect wheel speed sensor just gave an ABS malfunction and simply shut off anti-lock brakes/stability control. Call the stupid code "expected speed sensor mismatch" or something silly.

I mean, hell, ford, do ya'll really expect people to burn up the clutch SO BAD that it regularly slips more often than people change tires? :laughing:

Well, when they saved $0.50/unit by eliminating the transmission output sensor, they had to do something to increase dealer service revenue by throwing a error code.

Can fordscan / whatever does cracked software not program modules / the CAN system :eek:

You basically can't do maintenance at home without the dealer flashing it?

There has to be some form of 3rd party software to do it? Even BMW had one

ForScan reportedly can, I have set tire sizes, programmed keys and recalibrated the steering wheel angle sensor, but that's about it.
Others have reprogrammed/updated modules.

i do NOT know if this one has the power, but this brand seems to be pretty popular. Dad spent several hundred on a high end one and it seemed to have all the power a Tech2 would have on a GM. Search of their website/specs may confirm one of theirs can do the Ford stuff you need without the expensive subscription service

Possibly, limited compared to ForScan though.

Welp, went into derate mode after 30ish miles today :(

Waiting for the computer to start up on the side of the road to see whats up this time

You said Weld74 had one they fixed, how did they fix it ?

Call Toby Lavender, he's got a rack and would be interested in your rig. I mean he lives in Prunetucky too
 
Ok, so I talked to the other person with the manual bronco and portals. He has been loosely following along here apparently and knew what was up with mine.
He finished his up and leaving his yard went into limp mode due to user error with His water methanol injection... he panicked thinking it was the same code as mine and pulled back to the garage.
He fixed that issue and then programed gear ratio and tires using procal. He has since driven 40 miles with no issue (he never had one to begin with) at this point.

Had I done similar I wouldnt have had an issue either... untill today when I had 80ish miles down.

So now im waiting till he gets more miles on his to see if his works.... if it does then I guess ill try a procal tunner.

He also said that he gets the u0422 code for gearing being outside of parameters stored as a hard code and thats just stuck as a hard code as long as the gearing is different (this is in the computer but doesnt throw a check engine light)


For those Still following along...
I did getconfirmation on the tone rings.
The front is at the hub and the rear is at the axle. Since the front is reading after the reduction and the rear is reading before they compinsated for the difference with the number of teeth or whatever on the rear tone ring.

Also there is no vss on the manual bronco so all the computer sees in engine rpms, what gear im in, and wheel speed.


Brian, get in here and correct me on all my mistakes.

So you are currently running the "correct" tone rings, with stock ones up front and a modified one for the rear to get them to match?

Math problem

My brain quit working a while ago and im running myself in circles. Trying to work out a gearing issue in the computer of my bronco and am trying to get its computer squared away. My bronco now has 37" tires and 5.72 gears Stock it had 33" tires and 4.70 gears. The computer has a max gear...

bringing your math thread over here as well

Trying to work out a gearing issue in the computer of my bronco and am trying to get its computer squared away.

My bronco now has 37" tires and 5.72 gears

Stock it had 33" tires and 4.70 gears.

The computer has a max gear ratio input of 5.38

What tire size do Ii need to tell it I have to make things correct using the 5.38 gear input.

I don't think changing the gear ratio is the right approach since the reduction is after the ring and pinion, it's more like you put tiny tires on it.

I'd try entering the smallest tires it will allow and see what that does.

Thought about that also. Leave gear ratio alone at 4.70 where the computer likes it and see how small of tires it will allow.

But at this point the calculation of what size is beyond my 🧠 capacity
