Wish I had seen your post prior to buying the wrong ones. Yup, I made that mistake; buying the 2010s edition rather than the pre-2009 version (which I then bought and installed). Once I had the correct hardware figured out it was a pretty easy installation.

I'm just glad it wasn't!

There was a parallel discussion on the Bronco6g forum the other day. As with this thread, the other seems to be missing the real issue. I appreciate @seasprite bringing up this issue and find some of the critiques/comments also worthwhile. Yes, I get it; we are being tracked by everything and...

Check out https://www.factory-manuals.com . You provide them with your VIN and payment and they will send you a personalized, yes personalized, manual (with build dates, etc.). You can get a shop manual and a wiring diagrams manual. I always get both. Once you pay it can take up to a day or...

I'm sure y'all have heard what the USAF female pilots use, right? The Female Urine Collection Kit....

As an aside, die Frau and I are fortunate in that we can enjoy the both/and solution as opposed to the either/or. Years of hard work and saving to get there, but get there we did! Sorry you had to lose the Ranger. But you sure did pick up a nice new ride. SCrew on, good sir!

True. True. But if I were to have a Ford tech install it I would've gladly taken the 30 minutes labor cost over the actual!

Let me add one more detail. Unlike the video, I used Posi-Lock connectors (the yellow 10-12 gauge ones, IIRC) instead of heat-shrink butt connectors to connect the kit to those two wires (blue and yellow, IIRC) that are under the dash and on the driver side wall that you have to pull down from...

Yes. Even for an old (really) broken down vet like me it was a DIY success. The hard parts (for me due to injuries and arthritis) were a) getting under the dashboard to access the wires that are bundled up in there and b) accessing the CHMSL connectors from inside the cab (as I have a topper on...

Bumping a sleeping thread. Finished w/o issue installation of the Ford TBC kit. PIA, but pretty straight-forward. This is the video to use; I found it very helpful: He doesn't go into the CHMSL connector issue (two types of connectors based on what connectors Ford used: black or gray), but...

Bumping an old-ish thread. Completed my switchover (to include adding the TBC). Much easier than I thought it would be. Rear sensors were easy to remove, even saved most of the clips on the step pad. Unfortunately, the 2-3 clips that broke off were the ones that really locked the pad into...

My add (above post 2386) was with Valvoline ULV. Napa had qts at roughly $6.50 a bottle about 2 weeks ago. Edit: still on sale for $6.49. Took 2 days to deliver. Very pleased.

Many thanks to the M in MBS! Thanks, Mike! Turns out my trans was 1.5 qts low. Initially the stick was bone dry at the first hot check. Eventually added 2 qts of Valvoline ULV and that was a bit too much. So out with 1/2 qt and the not-quite-hot reading is now just under 5 (5.2 or so). So I'm...

For me the frustration with the A3C kit is the dipstick itself (which is the whole reason for buying the kit!). As I mentioned, there is very little usable stick at the low end (meaning a cold measurement might not even show, while the hot measurement would only show at the lower third). Then...

As I mentioned in the OP, back in April I thought I read he wasn't making anymore. Which is why I bought the A3C kit. A week after finally installing the A3C kit (June) Mike said he was. I bought one and hence, my review. Sorry for any confusion in my initial write-up.

Some pix: Here's the A3C dipstick tube. Pretty nice. You can see the 3rd hole on the mounting bracket for the wire you need to take off in order to use the A3C mount: You'll see it up close in another photo, but note how short the A3C dipstick is (they're both positioned relative to where...

My first thread! Back in April/May - after reading about the issues with the 10R80 fluid levels (and prior experience with the 6R80 lead frame fail on my 2012 F-150) I decided I needed to install a dipstick like we used to have. And be done with the abomination that Ford gave us in the 6R80 and...

Thanks for the reply. The pic made it look like what's on my Tremor. Yet different. Thanks for remedying my OCD curiosity. :thumbsup:

Installed on a Tremor?

That's interesting. I do know of a number of companies I've bought from (website direct or via Shop) that haven't charged me my state's sales tax. And these are what I would consider not-small companies. Don't want to provide their names here "out in the open," but I'm betting most here on the...
