Can anybody tell me what mods can be done to a 88 Bronco with 5.0 and C6 for better gas millage?? Thinking of going with E4OD for the overdrive millage. What other mods do you guys suggest?
Thanks.

 

Get and AOD.. no computer controls. What gearig and tires are on it?

 

stock, all stock. why do u say aod over e40d?? what is differences and prices of each?

 

an e4od you need a computer to run which is really pricy, if your stuff is all stock just get an aod you won't break it with stock stuff unless you REALLY beat on it, i have an aod in my truck with around 475-500hp (on nitrous) going through it and it's all stock minus the converter and a fluid change and it's been underwater a number of times, just look at my avater (little pic next to my name)

 

what other mods for better millage???

 

So that means 235/75x15 tires and what gearing? Stock means nothing since there were 4 or 5 different ratios available.

 

will find out what gears asap. what about exhaust, ignition, cold air, electric fan, etc upgrades?? thanks.

 

first what do you consider good mileage? figure with a properly tuned motor, tires at proper air pressure and all fluids in good order and tire size in check maybe 12-14city and 15-17 hwy. how many miles on the motor will also dictate what kinda mpg it will get.

if you truely want good mileage find a car LOL

 

I also dont feel that your motor with ported e7's and a 570 carb can put out that kinda power just not possible. it definatly sounds cool though and no way a stock AOD could ever withstand that kinda power either. they can barley handle being behind a stock 5.8 with proper fluid/filter changes.

 

Put the 5.0 in something that does not weigh 5000# with the aerodynamics of a brick.

 

well said........

 

couldnt have said it better myself Wileec.

 

Yours weighs only 5k???? Mines at at 7.5k right now....

 

Go to dealer, trade for a Ranger.

 

I think just a good tune up and some free flowing exaust, will be your best bet. these are heavy and sqaure not a good combo for great gas milage. As for the aod, have one built before you install it and it will be very dependable.
