Don't mash the throttle from low RPM. It's a small displacement NA engine before the turbos spool and it's easy to bog it off idle. That actually slows down building boost. Roll into the throttle up to about 2k RPM, then mash. This builds mass and velocity of the exhaust gasses faster. The...

Thanks, so is yours.

TTA works better in 4H. Just a bit of throttle and you can do a donut the size of the truck.

It's not just the 2.3. My 2.7 has done it a few times on crazy hot days. I suspect there's some kind of overpressure in an EVAP canister or the fuel tank. It hasn't done it since about 3000 miles on the clock.

If you're gonna do it the easy way,... get a Jeep. :ROFLMAO:

Sure looks like it fell off. Weirdly I have seen the same on a lot of different makes and models lately. Seems like a warranty claim for sure.

I was thinking the same, and raccoons are massive assholes.

Broncos love the rough stuff.

18.5 so far.

My spotter!!! Good to see you and thanks for spotting

What I'm seeing is the direction of the bend on the rack side that appears as though it was caused by compression. That and the extremely low probability of that bend occurring at such a low load scenario.

That last statement is factually incorrect. All steel bends and returns to it's original shape up to the elastic limit. Even over hardened steels will bend to a point. The underlying point in my post is that this part was deformed at some point prior to failure. That appears evident in the...

Steel is steel, hardened or not it has an elastic limit and ultimate strength. Grades and hardening move the inflection points of those plots. Sudden failure requires exceeding both the elastic limit and ultimate strength in short order, which should require and enormous event.

A broken tie rod at speed does not mean that the tire will necessarily flop around like an out of balance shopping cart wheel. There are two forces that have to be overcome to steer the wheel, centripetal and caster trail. It can be dangerous for sure, but in most cases it shouldn't be. My dad's...

Sorry this happened. Distracted and DUI drivers need to lose their license permanently on the first offense when they do harm.

We're Bronco, we don't need to brag.

Approaching 9000 miles. Most highway, but a good deal of rocky off roading. Some lugs damaged, which isn't unexpected. I rotated at 5000 and am planning to do so at 10,000. I run them at 38 cold. Wear appears even on all four, no extra inner or outer wear on the fronts.

Most importantly, Baja mode is designed for loose surfaces. You can damage components on pavement. FWIW, Baja mode is ridiculously fun in open desert.

FWIW, if the engine stops at speed shifting in N is safer than remaining in D.
