I believe I have this issue too. Took the Bronco in for an oil change at 5300 miles and wanted to check their work so I removed the oil pan bash plate on my 2022 Badlands and there was oil everywhere. Originally thought they did a bad oil change job and didn’t clean up but the oil filter plastic...
I wouldn’t think it takes more than 8 hours. Any reason you don’t DIY? It’s not terribly difficult except for the scary part of drilling a hole in your windshield header for the light bar wire to pass through.
There’s a few key factors missing to give a best case estimate. Do all of these have all necessary hardware and wires? Are you wiring to the aux switches? Mounting locations for each of these?
Offhand without knowing the above I would say maybe 4-6 hours though with 1 guy.
It’s been fine. Reading that thread gives me anxiety it’s going to start making that noise though. I have had some weird hiccups like being in first gear and it bucks like the clutch disengages/engages but it’s only happened like 3 times extremely randomly and usually if I just stop accelerating...
What proof do you have? There’s tons of evidence that direct injection with a crank case PCV line to reuse the dirty air coats the back of the valves with junk over many miles and requires expensive valve cleaning to remove.
Nope still smell it after I park in the garage and sitting at stop lights with the HVAC on. I’m coming up on 4500 miles so scheduling an oil change soon and I’ll mention it but doubt they will find anything unless it’s a egregious leak. Haven’t seen anything in the ground or around the engine...
