21228 could be the upper limit for this current Recall So far no one has posted higher than 21228 with the recall notice. We're talking original engines - not replacements

Right. You got it. There's no big mystery The Production Constraints threads list the "US Capacity" and "Order Bank" percentages for each trim. And these numbers stay mostly the same for many months on end. Even year to year they don't change much. Last couple years in the standard trims Black...

Now I see the problem. The Vespa back in the corner says it all SMH

Had same color in my 2000 R1. Lots of fun The lousy Yamaha clutch baskets eventually pushed me into Hondas And here one of many rentals in SE Asia. Did lots of zipping around the backroads wearing sandals and tank top. One time rented R1 over there also

I had five alignments done on lifted Broncos at three different alignment shops. The Sasquatch rings stayed in place. They were not removed for any of the alignments or lifts

In the 20k service I'm wondering if they did anything with the spark plugs Changed the spark plugs ? It sounds like one of your spark plug cables got loose and was just sparking against nearest thing in the engine bay then caused something to ignite If they total it maybe good for you. Sounds...

Unless you're extreme rock-crawling all you need is Leveling Kit and re-alignment then add your 37's to your factory SQ wheels no problem In lots of very rugged off-roading the only rubbing I've had is reverse at full lock, and we're talking minor rubbing - almost nothin Broncos are just...

Well others have posted 23+ w freeway driving included. I'm driving medium speed County roads w very few stops & no freeway. So it's still similar to the others Could be something w the tires also. Those factory GY's are only 52 lbs and C-rated. These Yoko's are 76 lbs and D-rated. Definitely...

Today 25.3 MPG - local roads 35-55 mph - round-trip back to same starting point. Raised tire pressure now 38 cold

Yes No other lift - factory SQ wheels. Yokohama Geolander M/T 37's - (spec 36.8) Never any rubbing going Forward, even very rugged off-road. In Reverse w full-lock some occasional minor rubbing. Never any for rear axle. Round-trip 22.5 MPG from today. Back to same starting point

22 to 23 MPG on County roads 35-60 mph 2Dr Black Diamond w SQ pkg, 2.3L Auto 37's w 1.25" leveling kit Mobil 1 Full Synthetic Exxon Premium 91 - (no 93 here in higher elev) For correct MPG have to recal speedo/odo for your larger tires MPG less on freeway 80 mph Broncos have many great...

Maybe Ford and their product lines will be taken over (bought out) by one of the Japanese companies. Then we could have Broncos made by Honda. Best of all worlds ?

In these endless repair situations another good option is BBB Auto Line ( 800-955-5100 ) and open a case w them. They will arbitrate for you free and get Ford's full attention. This option is described deep in the Bronco Owner's Manual - somewhere near the end. I'd do this before any...
