The Wrangler lives!!

Fired it up yesterday. Starts and runs great. Got some work to do on the timing advance profiles, but other than that I am impressed with the system. Some dash reassembly details to work on too, but those will have to wait for some spare time.

Your FI swap? Nice. Prolly a bigger job than I'd be willing to tackle.

Great news Bill; you just added another 10 years to it's life.

Hey guys excuse me for barging in but do these shock mounts look right for a 92 f150, coils smashed cheap rancho shocks that I just bought. Curious that there are two shock mounts.

I guess you could try mounting them on the other side and see how they fit. There is a way to fasten on the front - topside?

There is but the bottom mount is kind of at an angle, tried putting it in the front, also the mount is roughly 2 in higher than the other one, can't seem to find tons of info, one guy guessed it could be f250 coils off a 4x2, so just searching around

I see what you mean, looks like a slight bow in that coil spring that allows it to contact the shock.

Just read these Q&A's...

Ford’s engineers returned last Friday with answers to more questions about the 2015 Super Duty. Compared to last week, they got to hang around a little longer. Questions about frame rigidity, the 6.7-liter, and dampeners all get addressed in the summary below. If the mood seizes you, jump to the forum to ask your own questions and read what people are saying.

If I can be candid- what a waste of internet space!

Took care of that a few months ago. Lifted about 3.5".



Oh, and for those who thought I was committing some kind of sacrilege by putting a Ford oval on my grille, this is a pic of the stock MCU that I removed from the dash. Yep, that is a genuine blue oval sticker.

That was initial thought too, but there is a bolt hole on the top, same layout as the mount behind the coil where it looks like a shock can be placed, seen it once on a bronco where he had 2 shocks on each side so not sure if its mandatory or optional, but the coils are slightly bent which more than licky caused them to dent the shocks, never bought coils, any recommendations?
