Gee, exact same steps for my manual repair, word for word. I didn’t pay close attention to odometer but ballpark sense was that it was taken on a lengthy test drive too. Since they held it so long for parts and then new unit complete I suspected it was driven a bunch. But I didn’t document or...

In my mind 2.3 with manual peppier than 2.7 auto. The point being, they aren’t very different and isn’t worth the cost in terms of your delay. Unless your plan is to race, 2.3 will do whatever is needed. I’ve never been in the wild or pavement including towing a moving uhaul from east coast...

Can you explain the Mylar film approach - I don’t understand but looks great.

Oh - should mention - @30k on the ‘21 my manual was replaced under warranty. Started out the known issue with 5th/6th synchromesh issue but upon cracking it opened there was clear heat damage to several bearings. It was on its way out. No issues with the ‘22 but only had 10k on the clock when...

I learned to drive on a 1949 Diamond T…owned a ‘70 Bronco 3 spd since the late 80’s, 82 F350 4 spd dump bed, traded a 22 Bronco black Diamond 7spd non sas for 21 Badlands 7spd non sas, and a couple of 5 spd roadsters both early 90’s…not because I’m a manual fanatic but because they were cheaper...

I've searched forum / online and come up empty. I would think someone has installed the same / answered the question where to find the D+ Signal indicating engine run (vs ignition on). There must be a reasonably convenient place to tap in.

Any pics of either? The 70 is very nearly stock, still on points and condenser ignition on the 302. Manual drum brakes, 3 speed. 2.5” lift, a holly carb, and high output heater fan are only non-stock items. Radio might be next. On my last rebuild I did swap to a newer block as I didn’t want...

My 70 in better days - never intended to get 6G but took a contract in AZ and decided I better have something with A/C…so got a BD and figured during its break I’d restore my daily workhorse…got a complete new tub ready to go on frame…then exploring the parks out west…decided I’d better get a...

6G is opposite my original ‘70 and ‘82 F350 which are pull to release. I have to do a mental check every time to make certain I’ve engaged it. I have screwed up only to have it roll after I got out. I’ve long ago developed the habit to leave in neutral as my older vehicles don’t have clutch...

I’m nearing end of warranty period on my ‘21 with 31,000 miles and so have pulled trigger on my MT. Scheduled to have work done end of March… I did not have the issue on my ‘22 at 10,000 when I traded it in.

With my Black Diamond, almost never - had to be flat terrain or was always in boost. With Badlands the gearing allows for more reasonable engine speed but even there if I need acceleration/power will drop to 5th. Have been curious about efficiency. Presumed not good to draw boost long term.

Gosh, I traded my pre owned 9,000k 22 Black Diamond for a 28,000k 21 Lux Badlands , both non SAS, manual, hardtop, cyber orange 2dr…cause I wanted front locker, upgraded suspension, 33”s and wife wanted the 12” screen. I did have to bring some cash to the table, but not a lot and most of that...

Perfectly happy with the 302 in my ‘70 Bronco - and it’s got 320,000 on the clock, stock ignition and manual 3spd too. Though I am tempted to put a Windsor in next rebuild. My Cleveland always ran too hot. My 6G is my first vehicle built this century, if you want to talk relics…I admit I’m...

I’m not the guy to ask, if you’re asking…all my vehicles are open top with exception of 1982 F350 dump bed…I’ve spent season without putting roof up - work had covered parking…I keep sunblock in all of the softops. Bikini on my 70 Bronco when I take the cap off.

I found the 4 with MT to be more lively than the 6 (with AT). Having lived a lifetime with working vehicles equipped with manuals including my 70 Bronco with original 3 spd, I feel a bit numb in an Auto - I’ve kind of embarrassed myself at the Moab off Roadeo event in their auto, got scolded...

Funny - I guess anything can happen. I’ve had someone ask if my 1970 was one of those new ones, lol!

I’ve been left one duck, one horse shaped duck, and one keychain thrown through the window at a stoplight to date on my 6 Gen… Never got anything in the decades with my 1st Gen, lol. Anyway - each one made me smile so I went and bought some 6gen cyber orange 2dr matchbox cars matching my...

I’m looking to buy an aftermarket bumper for a winch install, might be willing to sell my modular. Located on AZ.

If only a manual - I’d be calling.

Post photo of Cyber Orange beadlocks once you’ve installed them. Toying with it myself but wondering if it might be a bit loud for my personal tastes and so on fence with the idea. I intend to mount 35s on wheels I bought used and PO had trashed the beauty rings. I was going to mount...
