Doesn’t the gt350 have an oil temp gauge? Could we swap out the vacuum gauge for that one? I imagine physically we could but do you know if it would work?

Seems like it would.

So, does your dash say 240 miles to empty? Mine says 180.

On my Bullitt (same engine and I believe same tank) I get 26-29mpg on highway, about 15-22mpg in city/mix.
It really depends when you reset your trip/fuel computers and let this catch up with the "distance to E."

For example when I've filled up after purely city driving and crappy fuel economy and then went on a pure-highway road trip, the counter went up or stayed the same for many miles, adjusting for changing economy.

both. There's a MPG tracker on the Trip computer, there's another '30 minute' trend one, and also an 'instant' gauge. I get between 20 and 21.5 on the 30 minute trend graph.

reset them all by holding down the OK button.
Does your fuel level gauge track correctly given fuel burned and miles supposedly traveled?

Unless enabled on other versions and not mine, there is no "30min" trend. There's instant one with the graph/bar and then trip 1 and trip 2. The bar/graph one isn't 30min, it's overall (since last reset) combined with instant.
On my wife's 2017 F150 though there is the 30min trend you talked about.

Mine gets weird after track days. After reading I guess I need to reset all of the screens.

Miles to empty are calculated based on what the car thinks current average MPG is (which seems logical). You're overthinking this.

Yes, it uses the average MPG over the last several tanks to *estimate* the miles to empty. Why anyone would try to use that to calculate MPG I don't understand. There's a separate display for MPG, and if you want an accurate number, record mileage and do the math. There are also quite a few apps that will do the math for you.

Lack of an oil Temp gauge, add it to the list of small annoyances that is growing with me on this car. For "most track capable" removing it is just dumb. Apparently Ford stripped out the oil temp option from the large digital clusters sometime in 2018. Yep I said from the beginning I would have preferred to avoid this digital dash altogether.

Yes I know the gauge is not a true measure, its an inferred number, but that is not the point, this is a miss.

So if you swap in an oil temp gauge for the vacuum gauge how do you make sure it's picking up oil temp?

FIXED IT

So if you swap in an oil pressure gauge for the vacuum gauge how do you make sure it's picking up oil pressure?

See post #47

Seems to me posters are mixing up pressure and temperature. The oil PRESSURE gauge is in the center pod on top of dash.

GT350 comes with an oil temp gauge. The question is whether or not you can swap it out for the vacuum gauge. That is what I answered in post 347.

Thank you for that. I’m definitely going to do this swap. I think oil temp is more important than vacuum

 

[melwff]

Correct, but read post 53.

Yes I did. I fixed it though.

Thanks all!

Fixed my post in #52, correctly reads Oil TEMP gauge now, how did I let that slip through.

Thanks for the links on doing the swap out Ira. I will be considering this, definitely not thrilled about taking the dash piece out to do it. My short patience, and very low tolerance for rattles and squeaks is a recipe for disaster if I do this swap.

Very bizarre to me why Ford includes the gauge physical or digital in some cars and not the others. GT350 makes to most sense, two oil gauges right there physical in the dash and done. You want to know anything about oil look here. Yes yes I know its inferred, still if I was in charge, all the PPs, the Bullitt, M1, and GT350s would be rocking the GT 350 gauge set. I always liked the look of the "engine Spun" bright dash trim.
