Around the same. You might see slightly less. And it's going to feel a little better to the pedal, going to move a lil easier. But you will be turning higher rpm at cruising speeds.

Couldn't tell you. I don't run one. Honestly if there isn't anything wrong with your clutch fan I'd keep it. I'd use the money and just completely tune up the motor so she runs awsome and won't ever leave you stranded. Or mabey some nice aftermarket shocks for when you do want to go wheeling.

I was gonna do E fan for the better fuel economy since I'll be going to utah soon and I was gonna do a tune up as well shouldn't be too bad cost wise I heard the 96-07 Taurus fan would work amazing so I was thinking of hitting up on of the scrap yards down in bako one of these days

I have a full intake already just need the mas airflow adapter I'm having a hard time choosing what to run because the Bronco pretty much has a factory cold air intake but I don't like how low it is on the frame where is can suck in water

If you after economy the 4.10 is going to cancel anything out the efan with help. If you put an efan on and the rear diff you prolly be getting the same mpg you were before.

You have the 2.9 right ?

I have a 3.0 with 3.73 and 31x10.5x15 tires. Mine scoots around just fine. You do have to remeber your driving a truck and not a race car. I know my truck like to be in the 3-4500 rpm range so when I'm driving and need any power I just make sure to keep in that area and it's more than enough. It does help having a 5spd.

Yeah mines a 5speed as well but compared to the ranger that the 4.10 are coming out of even with the ranger being a auto the ranger felt a lot peppier granted it did have some puny 215/45 r17s on it

----------

Main reason I'm swapping rear ends is for the LSD since I go to utah a lot during the winter lol
