Agreed; I look into it quite a while ago and I could not see a way to make it work. Given the ultra limited space near the fill port on the transmission, you will need one of the "candy cane" style tubes and a pressure tank to refill it as shown here...

With the nozzle I posted it's a piece of cake--even the plastic bottles are easy with the nozzle.

SynPower should be available in "flex bags" so you should not have to pump into the axle, just squeeze the bags. One of these is a lifesaver: https://www.autozone.com/p/flotool-multi-purpose-spout-10106b12/2366

Run 75W-140 in both. Dana Spicer recommends it in both axles. Ford (and nearly all OEMs running Dana axles) reduce the viscosity in the quest to comply with CAFE credits aka maximum MPG which is not conducive to longevity. Any GL-5 fluid will work as it is better to change it more often versus...

Note that Blackstone will not give you an accurate reading on fuel dilution (if that is what you are checking). Blackstone uses a highly subjective flame test--you need gas chromatography to be 100% accurate.

Gang, I have the Wildtrak plastic bumper and just picked up a steel Badlands bumper. Do I: - Reuse the Wildtrak brackets and sensors? - Need to change the sensor brackets and re-use the Wildtrak sensors? - Need to change the brackets and sensors? I am assuming that if I can reuse the...

Agree; I have not checked, but I am assuming there are no grease zerks on the shaft?

I think there is a TSB on the Bronco for this issue, but in any event it should be covered under warranty.

I am not convinced the cold weather is a major factor unless the "tune" you described is accurate. I have taken long trips (COS to HOU) when the dilution should be lowest and it has been more or less the same. In the winter months when it was fairly new, I was seeing 2.4% and 1.9% so it is...

My latest UOA after installing the aFe Pro Dry S air filter. @Nc211 - the silicon levels are good at 5PPM for this run and given that I opened the filter housing, I had expected it to be higher for this first run. It should drop a little more if the aFe is a better filter versus the Ford. All...

Yes; I posted some measurements quite a while back. I am running RCI aluminum plates and there was no issue with clearance. **EDIT** - here you go: https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/transmission-fluid-change-questions.89407/post-2179125

It was incomplete and I did not want anyone to use it. I plan to go back and insert it when I have some time.

PM sent.

I posted some good information about how to eliminate the plastic Ford clips (which are not available separately--you have to buy the whole brake line so be careful when removing them) here: https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/change-driveline-fluids-early.83929/ Hope this helps!

Reviewing my service manual now and will be making some edits to the torque guide. The values in the torque guide came from a general statement in the service manual. I will edit and add the values for each skid plate. @jahwild - now updated. Thanks for calling this out. Please let me know if...

Seconds if they don't sell.

I am sticking with Mobil 1 ESP in 0W-30 year-round. It works well in both winter and summer and withstands the incessant fuel dilution this 2.7L engine generates.

I would try M1 ESP 0W-30 first and test it. It starts with a Kinematic Viscosity of 12.2 @ 100°C and (thus far) with 5% dilution, I am at 10.8KV after 5K miles, which represents an 88.5% viscosity retention and is thicker than where most US 5W-30 oils start.
