I doubt I have your experience, but I will still argue. :) Bad fluid could cause long term damage and deterioration. I've never actually worked on transmissions, but I've seen couple that failure could very well be attributed to bad oil. I guess my point is... Just because we can, and some cars...

A lot of manufacturers list transmission fluid as "lifetime"... I got the 2.3, so I'm not too worried about it either. Just having a conversation. :)

My issue is that it's a belt. It's still a maintenance item with far less expected lifespan and in theory it should be replaced at whatever interval it's supposed to be replaced. I would argue a chain is also a wear item, but again... far greater expected lifespan. It will drive me nuts to go...

Point of view I guess plus use case. Then you size is also a different thing and we are not discussing that. My comment was more towards whoever will spend the Raptor money on a regular use vehicle and then they complain about the cheap interior and crappy ride/handling on road. There were...

We agree on the Ford. Toyotus... To me they are the same as Ford. We were looking for a Sienna or an Odyssey for the wife. Don't get me wrong, the Hondu is nothing to brag about, but the Sienna was terrible. Creeks, again sharp unfinished moldings, cheap plastics... And way overpriced compared...

I think he is wrong. The core engine, transmission, driveline, frame, body are of decent quality and have the potential to last. If you got the 2.3 and if you got the manual. :) The rest is just good maintenance. Otherwise if you got it simple, with less gimmicks and failure prone electronics...

Toyota is the last brand... or one of the last brands you want to look up when it comes to interior quality. I haven't been into any high tier Lexus products, but their lesser expensive products are not great either. The Bronco interior plastic quality and fit and finish is terrible. May be...

Also correct me if I'm wrong. I never actually looked up this or read anything about it. The plastic mesh on the roof at the drain channel is I'm assuming for letting water out and blocking critters getting in and making a home. If I'm correct... How was I able to figure it out, and he didn't...

I got a notification that "remedy is available". Does anyone know the updated part number and if it's available at the counter for any Joe Shmoe to buy?

Did a block heater touch you inappropriately? :LOL: Why such a fight against it? Drawback of an internal combustion engine(regardless of fuel type gasoline, diesel, LPG, methane...) is that they operate at it's best at a certain temperature and that temperature is never what the ambient...

Sorry to steal the thread but I can't seem to find a definitive answer from someone who has done the swap. I think I know the answer, but again I would like some reassurance before I spend some thousands on used parts. So... Plug and play- do the HOSS 3.0 Fox shocks and springs assemblies from...

You did notice the 1.3% fuel dilution? On mine even after a month or 2 the oil reeks of fuel. I did an oil analysis also on mine because of the smell. Mine was at 1% I guess it's somewhat normal for these engines since my wifes 2L has the same strong smell and after 3000 miles hers had 0.5%. I'm...

And yet everyone bitches about them being junk and made in China. I don't like the last part either, but they seem to be otherwise good transmissions. People just don't learn from the past. I found old threads literally about the same thing when BMW had these issues 20-30 years ago. Not an...

I was more concerned about an actual mechanical problem. And kinda to use your experience as proof that this in fact is more or less normal and OK. So far the noise hasn't caused any failures. Especially on mine I can live with the noise. It's no lauder than the rattly ass 4 cylinder. Thank...

@Ducati1098 Sorry to bother you again but after all this time, just wanted to check again if you have actually come across any failed transmissions or worn-out components that you could attribute to the noise issue.

Make sure you get a fire extinguisher for that GR Corolla. :) BMW has quite a lot more money invested into R&D to mostly "eliminate" the noise... Since it charges you a lot more and the idea of that vehicle is a "luxury" sports car, while the Bronco is a "cheap"... well in general. So Ford...

Would that AD be the designation after MB3Z-7003-F? Would there be a way to request the specific AD revision or you get what you get? That's hypothetical when it is available.

Does anyone have a part number for the updated AB transmission. I want to look up how much would an entire trans cost at our dealer and just get one as a back up. :) Or just to see for personal curiosity even if it completely fails out of warranty how much will it be. But I want to make sure I...

Found this by luck... I was actually searching for a manual handbrake mod. If someone has done that yet? The mentality of some people baffles me. This is not FB. Don't be a dick. Forgive the guy that asked. We can't all have brand new vehicles and live in moderate climates. Try at least a 10...

Do you know it's legal for anyone to fly over with anything and look into your backyard, take pictures of anything in your back yard? I admire you, but I go to an extend. Like unplugging the modem. That's about it. I use a VPN on my PC, that's about it. The lengths that all these companies and...
