Thought I’d provide an update fwiw - my dealer had my bronco for all of 2 days for the repair about 1 year ago. So far so good, have yet to hear any noise again since 👍🏼
Brought my 22 Base into my dealer this past week for the first time. I've been hearing the TSB-like symptoms for a long time. It was a fairly warm day so I wasn't sure if they'd be able to replicate the noise, but called me mid-day to say they had and had already ordered the parts. Dealer...
I’m really enjoying mine also. Only minor mods done, but the best thing so far is my recent experimenting with Forscan. My biggest complaint (double honk) fixed. Among other changes.
Yeah I didn’t want to open the hood to plug in or unplug. I added a short (36”?) extension cord I had and ran it basically straight down to the area in front of the tire, behind the bumper. Secured with a couple zip ties. Very easy.
Yeah I have the block heater on mine...well, I ordered it at least - come to think of it I've never noticed where it actually is. I'll use it occasionally, but it's a hassle to do so at work.
