Iām in the same boat as a lot of people. Iām on Facebook for the groups anymore. IMHO, the group is worth it. Also a bit better for announcing small, local things as it seems to have a better turnout.
Engine braking is actually using the engineās compression to slow the vehicle down. Yes , the gears have a bit more resistance due to turning faster in the same oil with the same viscosity but almost all of the engine braking is a resulting of the āreverse torqueā applied back from the engine...
Isnāt that the definition of engine braking?
The 10-speed also skip shifts unless you are hard into it or in sport mode. I know some transmissions wonāt spin a set a clutches when you run in manual all the time, which leads to premature transmission wear and failure as it doesnāt get oil up...
I got mine from Barbeeās and worked with Dustin. I agree. Top notch, no frills, the finance guy didnāt try to sneak anything in. I highly recommend them as well.
If itās never unlocking the passenger side, thatās a setting you can change. We were going through it with my wife and I said āit should open all doors when you do that so you donāt have to unlock manually for the other passengersā. She corrects me and says āwell youāre not a womanā and I...
Nail on the head there. He defends his driving by āfinding the bronco weak pointsā. He just likes the skinny pedal too much and definitely needs to take some air out of the tires or get less stiff tires.
āIn the end, itās his money so he can do what he wants. The bigger deal is heās...
Noticed ours started acting up after getting a bunch of snow/ice on it this weekend. Itās pretty tricky so you donāt wrap any fingers around the door handle (for the unlock) and confuse the system.
There was chatter in the video comments about the 4A setting and that being the likely cause of the issues in the 4XE.
When TFL did the Bronco/4XE comparison with running the 4XE in full electric on the trail, I think they only made it a few miles in electric only.
Awesome stuff!! I love 12V wiring and have worked myself into making it more and more professional looking (rather than a garage hack) over the years. I LOVE the Tesa tape. Really makes wiring look factory.
The connectors are a great idea.
Update! Definitely a process to get them to slide. Have to let the seat lean forward then push on the bottom to get it to slide. Only the passenger seat does this, driver stays locked on the slider. To get the passenger seat to go to the same position on the slider when folding back, you have...
I thought I had a good day too but we were there last week. š
That first obstacle was line choice too. My wife picked her line and drove right up with zero issues and that was her first time driving offroad. Line choice is the key (lockers and sway bar disconnect help though).
