Done. The stock gauge sarted being flakey on the way home with it. Advance Auto has a mechannical water temp gauge for $18 so I installed one. It was a simple install (already a cutout on the bottom of the dash where a gauge bracket had been I think. The gauge came with the fittings I needed.Also it would be wise to add an aftermarket water temperature gauge right off the bat.
It's staying right around 195-210 (higher at long lights). I have no idea what temp thermostat is in it and the fan clutch seems like it might be a bit on the weak side, though it does engage.
What year Bronco tanks fit? Do I also need the Bronco support straps?Fuel tank selector valve is your issue...very common with these trucks. You can also swap the rear tank out with a Bronco tank for added capacity.
I don't think the rear tank has been used in years, has a really "old gas" smell when I remove the cap and it's gummed up in the cap.
I was gonig to remove it and have it hot tanked at the local radiator shop, but would like to see what I can get a good Bronco tank for if it's an easy swap.
