I get that everyone has to start somewhere, but damn, what an idiot.

I just did the same thing. Had me cursing the Bronco gods for a few minutes.

I'll be the first to admit that I don't know shit about these modern engines. The point I was trying to make is when there is air in the cooling system, it's not going to function as expected, and the coolant level can't be trusted.

Heater blowing cold is a common symptom of air in the system. Also once air is in the system, the temperature sensors will no longer be accurate. What you describe leads me to believe the most plausible explanation is the hose came off first. I know that is not what you want to hear. Lets just...

The Bronco uses a surge tank and a maze of hoses. If there was air in the system it makes sense that it was still full. It is impressive if you drove 3 hours with no coolant. Yes, I think it could be possible for excessive pressure to cause a hose to pop, however I would think that would...

Makes sense. Once air is anywhere in the system all bets are off. As for the hose, there a have been reports of clamps not being properly set from the factory. Or it is certainly possible for a rouge branch to snag it. Strange things happen off-road. Once the hose popped, it would have drained...

Send @flip your VIN. He's legit.

yep. In the pic above, you have to splice the yellows to the green or purple to complete those runs. The yellow (in pic) wires are just sitting there ready for use. Pretty nice feature. Same thing under the hood. Wires are not connected to anything, so you don't have to use the switches.

You know, The factory accessory wiring.

I have not yet, but that is why I got the dual. I was thinking maybe adding a port in the glove box. They do make singles too.

Correct. Using an accessory switch for now. I will probably move it to another power source at some point. It was just too easy to not use the switch at the time. I wanted to make sure it shuts off with the vehicle to avoid draw on the battery when not in use.

Yes, you have to trim that tab a bit. I tried to fish the USB extension down to the glove box area for about an hour until I ran out of light. Pulled the dash cover the next morning and was able to fish the cable down the front of the dash in a few seconds. Not a big deal at all.

I did the same thing. I power it with one of these https://amzn.to/3DlJZOA

Where did you find this air coupler and mounting bracket?

Swapping vehicles definitely would not be realistic. Compressors and mounts are expensive, but I consider them essential to off-roading. More so than a winch.

Have it towed to the dealer. I'd be asking for a 100k warranty.

Bottom line is the economy is crashing. The warning signs are everywhere, but everyone is still in denial.

I'm a big fan of "less is more" engineering. While I'm sure their mount will work just fine, it just seems unnecessarily complex. I understand the concern about the body/frame connection on other mounts, but I just don't think it will be a problem in this situation. The brace on the Grimm...

The Grimm mount is so clean it looks factory. I wired mine to an accessory switch. Super easy. Very happy that I chose to wait for this mount.
