If the underlying problem was a ford part, they could submit to get reimbursement from Ford. it would be silly to ask a customer to pay 13hrs of diag and burn that goodwill if there was a chance Ford would pay. Having said that, 13 hours is a lot of time. pull codes, check the battery, check...

Not a lawyer but I don’t think your local dealer can waive your warranty with Ford corporate. take the battery to autozone and have them test it. If it’s toast my suspicion are the mods. Unhook them and check if the problem comes back. You would still be responsible, but probably only out a...

My 2¢, defined benefits (i.e. pensions) are never coming back. Too much liability for the company. 401k’s are paid out and then you’re done with them. I think the only way UAW gets more compensation is if they agree to headcount reductions. All the OE’s keep pitching the complexity reduction of...

The unfortunate reality is you’re probably going to take be financially worse off regardless of what happens, unless your policy is for replacement value. Having said that, I would just take the payout and go get a new one. Was just getting an oil change at the dealer and they had 4x 4dr...

Part of the reason I bought my Bronco is because of the high percentage of US parts. More US manufacturing is an unequivocal win my book. Especially cutting edge technology. Regarding ICE vs EV: Gasoline is pretty much capped out in terms of energy efficiency. And As the easy to extract oil...

At the risk of sounding a billion years old: I blame influencer culture. People now buy stuff for clout. Maybe this always happened and social media just made it more visible, but I feel like people used to buy vehicles based on their utility. Now they buy a bronco and put an eBay 3” body lift...

If I wanted to listen to the same 35 songs on a loop every 2 hours, I would make a spotify playlist. If you're into talk radio or comedy it's okay I guess, but for music it's trash.

Yeah, you should be good to go. Switch 2 is 15A though, if you wanted to reserve it for a higher draw accessory. If I remember correctly the switches are fused too, so even if something goes wrong it will blow the fuse. Edit: Yep, fuses 60-65

I've already had to fill 2 stars using resin kits, and I'm only at 13k miles. Of course just driving to work today I got nailed hard again. No star at least, but a decent gouge in the surface. I hate metro Detroit.

They are one and the same. In order for the alternator to top off the battery, it needs to raise the 12V system voltage above the battery's voltage. Once the battery is sufficiently charged, the alternator turns off and the battery is the only voltage source. At that point it drops back down to...

Yup the 4x4Truck Leds kit is top notch. If you have access to a soldering iron, I would recommend doing a lineman's splice and putting some sealing heat shrink over it, rather than the crimp on connectors included in the kit. I'm sure they are fine, but I just wanted to weatherproof mine more...

If these are still available I'm interested. edit: DM sent

I only need 3, but I would be willing to buy a whole set if you are willing to deal. No longer interested. Thanks.

I was just in Sam’s Club @ 13 / John R and they have several 1/18 scale die cast 2 door broncos for $17. Saw AMB, Cyber Orange and Cactus for sure, there might be more colors too

I’m done with Sirius forever. I’ve had it on and off over the years but calling to cancel last time really got my goat for whatever reason. First off you can only call during the week and limited hours. Then you have to sit there while they pitch you 4 different deals before they finally let you...
