So, update, I contacted the dealership for an update on my truck and they informed me they have tested their 7th set of shutters and they were also not working properly. At this point my bs meter was broke because it has been going off for so long and i finally called ford. They actually...
I get a similar pop in the morning when i forst start and make a left out of my driveway. Figured it was like when my knee cracks as i get up out of bed lol. Maybe i should get that checked out lol.
I would go around a slight turn in the rain at a speed appropriate for the conditions, no gas and the truck would slide, or feel like you were right on the edge of breaking loose. Or hit a slight bump in the road same conditions and i would get squirrely. Over a speed bump thats wet and break...
I agree. As an explanation for driving it hard: Unfortunately i had just picked up the car at 5:30pm (after the first shutter replacement) and noticed the temp climbing in regular driving home. I had a half hour before the dealership closed so i was in a time crunch and wanted to make sure i was...
Totally hear you with that and normally thats where id have started, but the codes it was throwing were active grill shutter fault codes. There now were additional codes but all leading back to the shutters. So they have to run that gremlin down either at the shutters or upstream in the wiring...
You have been a tremendous help. I appreciate all of it. i think i would be in a much worse position had you not given guidance and advice. I agree with what you said and ill take it a step further; i think im being lied to. either they have not changed that many shutters, they are just dragging...
Agreed. i will not be using this dealership service dept after this. i originally went there with no problems for the valve recall and they put a new engine in. Since then, mucho problemos. i know what the common denominator is but no one else will touch this vehicle with their hex on it. I have...
Whats funny is, i actually mentioned to the service rep yesterday to pull one off of a new vehicle to check it and she said "They cant do that because they are serialized." That was me suggesting it as a layperson but it seems like that was a good idea if you are suggesting something similar...
Update: So the truck is still at the dealership. Its been there since i don't even remember its all blurred together honestly.
I'll condense this crap down as much as i can. The tech thinks its the smart junction box but the ford engineer that came on site (allegedly several times) says they...
I wonder if Bestop is on this forum. They can see how blowing this off is bad for business for them. Its a great idea and concept but if the fit and finish isn't good to perfect there are 5000 reasons to not go with them. Plus installation. I hope they make it right for you. Looks like the...
Thank you for sharing this. I have been seriously considering this as an option. Those gaps would scratch my ocd itch a little much. I almost feel like it can be stretched or pulled to come down further. Hopefully they can give you a solution. For what you paid it should be perfect.
If i didnt know better id say someone installed one of those prank things i saw once that emits a cricket chirp randomly till the battery runs out. In case you think im bs’ing here it is

I once put a ziptie around a buddies drive shaft. That was mean. But also hilarious
For that price i would almost be willing to get one and roll the dice. But then i remember im balling on a budget. Please let us know how it goes. Im genuinely curious with your money lol.
I had them on my 2017 f150 and if the road was any degree of wet the truck was squirrely. Going around turns was hairy. The stock goodyears were fine and i also put geolanders on there and they were excellent.
Will not be using the ko2’s on my bronco. I have enough problems lol.
I wish i had my Bronco back from the dealer or i would be there!!! Ill be at the next one if i get my truck back by then lol!!! I wish i was joking haha. Enjoy and be safe all!
I love it. Would be awesome if ford remade that with interchangeable lettering. Could do a chromed plastic so it would be cheaper. And could do different color insides.
There it is! Good find. But bummer, Just read it secures with a “1500 lb cable”. Thats kah kah. I gaurantee you the tensile strength of an average crackheads arms far surpass 1500 lbs. well at least in new york they do.
