  1. Motor Oil Shortages

    1973 … I was a full service gas station attendant. Doing an oil change or patching a tire in the garage and then “ding ding” I would go out and pump gas, wash windows, check oil, change bulbs. Until the Embargo. We were open a few hours a day for gas, people waiting in line for us to open...
  2. Form Lighting Customer Service

    I had a good experience, thought you might want to know. Last summer my headlights started flickering, seemed to happen more often when it was warm out. Was a little disappointed that the company I purchased them from, referred me to @Form Lighting and didn’t provide a contact. I’m a...
  3. Clutch & Cylinder Failed at less than 900 miles. Dealer denied warranty claim

    I’m also thinking the bad slave cylinder was a culprit. But I’m not a professional mechanic. Usually slave cylinders fail completely, instead of partially. (I think. ) In any case the labor would be covered by the slave replacement (assuming typical slave cylinder location). Worst case is you...
  4. OEM Wipers Not Cutting It — Best Upgrade?

    I'm running the Bosch Icons. But I don't think they have one for the rear, will probably have to go OEM.
  5. ASS(less)

    All buttons should act like their analog buttons; once they are set they stay that way. Like the Volume and Fan buttons do. Don't override my choice.
  6. Less engine wear with premium fuel

    I think we have more Costco stations than E85. Also not many Shell stations. We are competing with California for the highest gas taxes in the nation so Costco is my go to.
  7. New Bronco variant or special edition to debut at 2026 Detroit Auto Show (Jan 14-25) .... any guesses what Ford has up their sleeve?

    Have they announced the Bronco New Energy yet? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Bronco_New_Energy I never considered the Mexican Bronco and a Chinese one would also be a dealbreaker.
  8. Old Bronco spotted on “Wild Cards”

    I get a kick out of seeing old Broncos and was pleasantly surprised to see a 60s Bronco on a TV show as his main ride. He’s a detective, she’s a con woman consulting with police department. Filmed in Vancouver ( the pretty one ). Did you know there is surfing in the PNW? I was surprised that...
  9. Got a flat – 1/4” hole, is this repairable?

    Something like this should work: https://a.co/d/bj0ghbP The tire will have to be removed.
  10. Laugh I Did

    My right hand is on the shifter. I ordered my Jeep XJ with vent windows, because I didn’t order AC. Didn’t see the need to pay $500 for AC that would only be used for a couple weeks a year. Got sent to Phoenix for 6 months and vent windows worked fine. But I did regret not getting AC. Didn’t...
  11. GOAT Modes

    How do you know if TC is turned off? I usually run in Sport mode and I felt like TC wasn’t engaging. Perhaps the chart is right.
  12. Oil change light between regular maintenance?

    From Grok (my engine): Ford’s Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor (IOLM) in the 2024 Bronco 2.3L The 2024 Ford Bronco with the 2.3L EcoBoost engine uses Ford’s Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor (IOLM) system to determine oil change intervals. This isn’t a fixed mileage schedule—it’s a smart...
  13. Introducing the ALL-NEW M2M 2 DOOR ATTIC TRAY

    It just worked for me. Maybe they just fixed it. But the shipping costs were an eye opener… too used to Amazon shipping.
