I just got my harness for the sub from Sounds Good...it plugs directly into the B&O amp, then the OEM plugs into it. There is a pigtail that then plugs directly into the Kicker 500.1. I highly recommend getting the harness, and if you don't prefer the Kicker amp then go with whatever you want...
No shortage of Karens these days! I had thought about the adapter for some time, and the input from the Pentastar folks (I realize the 2.7 and the Pentastar are different animals, but similar concepts related to oil flow/lack thereof at start up) was very positive. Many of the accolades come...
Also note that if you are using Forscan for keyfob adjustments, and if you paid for even a short-term license, you aren't getting your money's worth. I was referring to things like adding Sport Mode...things for which a dealer could easily deny a powertrain claim (even though all our Broncos...
My point is (from having worked at a dealership) sometimes a warranty claim truly is like a coin toss...whatever the modification has been or hasn't been it depends on how willing the dealership is to try to fight it. I will wager that given the simplicity and design of this adapter that the...
Regarding warranties...I would wager that many of the first things people do that buy a Bronco is run out and buy a front bumper and a winch. Unfortunately, just about every winch on the market when installed on a bumper blocks the dangerous "red zone" that Ford specifically indicates should...
I just called Baxter to confirm...the unit was tested at all operating temps and using an oil pressure measurement device there was no change between the numbers from the OEM setup to the Baxter setup (and no pressure drop equals same flow rate). They tested using a FL500S Motorcraft filter...
If you want to follow that logic make sure you don't add ANYTHING aftermarket to your vehicle. But while considering sticking exclusively to OEM, note that scores of Bronco (and other car brand) owners have had warranty claims denied even though they never altered ANYTHING. Sometimes it is a...
Flow capacity is determined by density/weave/media in a filter. The WIX and Motorcraft spin on filters flow at the same rate as the OEM Ford canister filter. It is easy to get a filter that has higher flow than another filter, but too high of a flow capacity generally equals less filtering...
If tire carrier to gate is 18 foot pounds, which seems about right for M8 x 1.25 thread, then hinge to gate should be about the same..because those bolts are also M8/1.25. Hinge to pillar mount is 30 foot pounds (40 Nm).
For OCD folks like myself that tend to perseverate on things most normal people don't give a second thought, this product appeases my rabbit hole of wondering if having an adequate supply of oil every time my 2.7 starts up may perhaps extend its longevity. The alleged issue:
The 18-minute...
I need to use whatever technique you are using! Some of the clips on mine appeared intact, but upon inspection it was apparent that one of the two hinged pieces that retain the clip into the body were broken off.
The orange ones should not break...the white ones seem meant to break..If you pry the panel away slowly, you could use a long flat-bladed screwdriver to try and flip the little tabs up to allow the white clips to separate. Otherwise, you will break off one of the tabs that retains each clip to...
I did try...with my B&O amp and the 7 speakers I added (CS 4" x3 CS 6.5" x 2 and Focal 4" x2) my system was no longer nearly as loud as it was prior to the swap. I could have compensated slightly by putting the slider control all the way to the front, but because there was such a noticeable...
I'm also not enough of an audio person to have all the equipment to measure specific peaks and valleys or all that stuff...I primarily listen to things like Journey and Ratt and Alice in Chains and other music that sounds distorted to begin with. I can tell when something sounds like s***, and I...
You read my mind...I just swapped back minutes ago and it sounds better than it did...even more bass (because I suspect that the factory "amp" is meant specifically to drive mid-base and not coax speakers in the kick positions...and the kick is designed to work collaboratively with the outer...
