Accufab has been out of stock for awhile. Both the Accufab and the OEM upgrade kit are good kits that solve the problem. I'd say we've installed an equal number of each and have never had any problem with either one.

Let me know if I can borrow your old ones.

Sounds like Galpin. Frank said they were $110 each if you bought them outright (Post 2).

Very, very sad news. My sincere condolences to friends and family. This community is lessened without his proactive and witty contributions. Especially sad when such a fine person is taken at a young age. We'll miss him.

Just remember that the belly pans are aluminum and will bend if you even look at them funny.

About 5-6 weeks ago I got a bug up my butt to build another rock crawler. The final year of the Grand Cherokee ZJ (1998), they offered a 5.9L V8 as a last hurrah. I found one with low mileage (104K), grabbed my trailer and drove 5 hours to go get it. For a whopping $5,000, it was a decent buy...

Will, I pulled the trigger. Braptor starts its journey from NY to CA on Monday... presumably will arrive here on Friday.

Anyone else tempted by the aggressive pricing on the 2024 Bronco Raptors? $20-$23K MSRP discounts are readily available. Those with a Braptor - do you think they're a good value at $75K?

The sad truth is that most GT's are not driven very much <500-1000 mi per year and, as such, maintenance records may seem sparse. Quite frankly there's not a lot of maintenance that can/should be done in GTs that are predominately not driven. In summary, if you're looking at a <2500 mi car...

For sure, it will not. A bad/low battery prevents proper gauge initialization but will not fix a "sticky" gauge... which is the first symptom of a gauge failing completely.

There is probably a core charge.... either that or when you bought the car, you really didn't buy all of it.

Is the needle acting "sticky"? Does it behave "normally" under vacuum conditions and act up once under boost or is it just erratic all the time?

Because of its "hoop" shape, I think it would be an absolute bitch to 3D print....

More misinformation... A low battery will effect the Gauge Control Module and could cause the inability of one or more gauges to properly "check in" (aka, get assigned an address so the GCM can communicate with the gauge throughout that start session.) When this occurs, one or more gauges will...

If Ford replaced under warranty, they have a right to keep the old ones. If you paid for the new ones, Ford has no right to the old ones.
