Great history, thank you. I had read threads about the MBS solution, but not the first thread. This subject has almost become a "best oil" or "which tire" thread.
For the Ranger I don't think you will get any disagreement that the FitzStick (MBS) is by FAR the best solution out there - nothing else even comes close.

I am working on one for the F150, actually it will end up being four of them, 2.7, 3.0, 3.5 and 5.0 are the ones I've had requests for!
I'd think the 3.0 Diesel would be a tiny market, especially since they don't make it anymore. The other three are still current though.

Then there's the bastard stepchild 10R80MHT in the Powerboost.

My 24 F-150 5.0 with the 10R80 does not have a real trans dipstick, neither does the Explorer, and AFAIK, any other Ford with the 10R80. I'm "patiently" waiting for that model from Mike's Build Shop @Fitzmotor :thumbsup:
Just did an explorer trans service. Its on the back on the drivers side. Not a huge ass pain honestly. It was quite easy to do. I probably would not buy a stick for it.

Apologies. Seemed to be the most efficient way to make the correction.
Generally a good idea to strikeout the replaced text and make the new text bold/italic/colored so make the change is clear to the readers, otherwise they think they were warped to an alternate universe where you asked the question correctly the first time and experiencing some Mandela episode.

But on the topic, MBS. I have a co-worker wanting one for the F-150 and the Explorer ST versions as well.

Fitz posted he won't be making one for my bronco any time soon so I was looking at one of those generic 10r80 on amazon or ebay to see if I could get it to work until it's ready.

Excellent news for us F-150 guys. Will these fit 5.0s with Whipples? :like:

The back of the head is the mounting point, so it should fit any induction
