Already tearing it down? How many miles? I'm curious about the carbon buildup around 30k, at least on intake valves and throttle body.

2nd day. Ambient temp 55°F currently, maybe 51-53°F during cold start. No noise in neutral.

It's been unusually warm this winter. Been hitting 80's during the day. Usually we get some freezing temps and lower highs, but not this winter apparently.

They just purr at us in the morning. It doesn't bother me really, though I was a tad skeptical of the OEM recommended fluid.

It hasn't been below 40 much down here in AZ. Still makes the noise in the 40's and 50's, though this morning it was dead quiet. I'll keep my ears open this week and see how it goes.

I have a 22 Badlands with the 7mt and it's made the lovely cold start purring since around 900 miles. Did one fluid change using the Ford DCT fluid at 7500mi, just for peace of mind. I have 22k on the clock currently and changed my trans fluid yesterday, using Redline MT-LV instead. This morning...

I like the slim flares on this one. Haven't seen those before. Thanks for sharing the photos.

It's a station wagon with row your own gearbox, removable roof and locking differentials. Sold. On a more serious note, it's just fun. Fun to drive. Fun to fold the top back for some open air. Rugged enough for weekend adventures, and comfy enough for daily duties. What sold me was the (back in...

Meh, mine's had the noise since new. Still works just fine. Just curious if a different fluid has affected it. I ordered some Redline MT-LV to try out. Actually cheaper than the Ford juice.

Did you notice anything different switching from Ford DCT fluid to BG synchro shift II, as far as noise or operation?

Gross. I prefer the BDS half cab 6G to that. It's trying to dress up as a JT.

Great write up! I inquired about the RK shocks a while back, and they had lots of good info to share. If shocks are in my future, it'll be those bad boys.

4 bangers are usually associated with econoboxes. Small engine=small power. But here in the 21st century we have forced induction. But yeah, the 2.3 scoots. Paired with the 4.7 gear and 7mt. Whew!

Co worker leased a Honda (GM) Prologue. Recently got an over the air software update, now he can't get more than 250mi on a charge. Crazy. They're good for around town, sure, but the range isn't there, aside from the Lucid Air's 500mi range, if that's real world accurate, not sure. Plus however...

Same big wigs who pushed GM and Chrysler to go electric probably, per former prez "all electric by 20xx". Didn't pan out apparently.

Damnit I need a car cymbal!

Fake news. Sport mode doesn't make a Bronco fast.

That lighting made for a sick shot.👍👍

0.75 or 1" should be plenty to keep the tire away from the new UCA.

I use a Smittybilt 12v compressor. It's the more powerful of the two SB options. I made my own two tire hose setup and it works fine.
