Anti Slosh Module
Hi to all,
I bought my fist Ranger about two weeks ago, a 92 XLT, 4X4, 2.9 l., 5 spd. stick. It has a few problems I need help with. My concern today is the fuel gauge is not working properly. I watch a lot of u tube and this anti slosh thing came up but nothing saying if a 92 has one or not.
My question today is: Did the 92 Rangers have an anti slosh module?
I have a Chilton Manual but can't find any info about it. I checked the wiring diagram and didn't see it there ether but the diagram is so small I had to use a magnifying glass to read it. Just had my eyes rebuilt so my eye sight is pretty good.
At 73 and working alone I don't want to remove the box to check the sending unit unless I have to.
Any advise or help will be greatly appriciated.
Thank you all in advance.

Ford used to and maybe still does an anti-slosh module that is incorporated into the circuit board in the dash controlling the gauges. The module prevents surges in the needle that would result from sudden accelerations or panic stops. I knew a guy who claimed you could shake the heck out of the fuel tank with one guy on each back fender shaking back and forth to splash the fuel around a half full tank and maybe re-activate the module. Don't know if this works, but, who knows.

ranger pat,
Thank you for taking the time to reply.
I've done some more looking on u-tube, just typed in "anti slosh module", and found out if it is not working that it can be bypassed very easily,
the gauge will then work but will move around quite a bit when driving. At least having good reading when parked. Didn't find out if they were
used in 92 or not so will have to take dash out and look.
Tanks again.
