While taking the back of the Broco apart to install a subwoofer, I came across this under the floor. Anyone have an idea as to what this is or where it goes? (obviously it can't be too important), just wondering.
It's stamped M2DB-S431G01-AC but the ford part number lookup and google can't seem to turn up anything.
4 door Wildtrack hardtop.

thanks

I think it is a part. There may have been rework or a part dropped during assembly.

I figured it was a part. I thought it was the clip that when properly inserted it eliminated cracks in the mic top, stopped the tie rods & steering rack from breaking and added 32 horsepower. :wink:

It can do a lot of other things too. It depends where you plug it.

That's an internet rumor. It only adds 24 horsepower. You need to add a chrome dipstick to get the full 32 horsepower.

no. You need to add the 7th quart of oil.

If I take the tailgate off and install it, do I still get the 24hp...:wink:

Thanks I will leave it in the bronco in case the access panel is ever off.

It might be a spare.

I thought it was one of those rare Ford Easter Eggs where instead of imprinting something on the lights or frame they give you an actual item.

So sad that I was wrong. Was planning to go thru my Bronco this afternoon in the hope that I got one too! That I have one and that it is just a clip really bummed me out. 😭
