Apparently not since Toyota paid for the repair anyway. I bought it used in 1996 so it wasn't an option for me.

I definitely didn't say that. Yet I would be far more confident not getting an extended warrantee for a Toyota than a Ford. And a new Toyota wouldn't have already had 10-15 recalls. But. whatever...

I had my valve inspection done at Ford dealer yesterday - no new engine for me. It took all day before they called me back and said it passed the test. Apparently they leave it running for about 60 minutes with diagnostics plugged in. They did confirm that if it had failed, it would indeed be an...

I'm assuming you didn't opt for an extended warrantee. I think they came with 5-year 60K, which you are past. But regardless of that, "needing a new engine at 77K" should be escalated to corporate. For example, my 1995 V6 4Runner blew a head gasket at 104K (just after my 100K warrantee expired)...

For your 2door you would not need the center 2x4 (that is only there to support the shorter 2nd row doors). So yours would be much more compact.

So this is not polished but simple, fast, cheap, and it works. - 25' of 2x4 - 6 bolts w/ locking nuts - 12 washers - 10 30" sections of 1/2" ID steel pipe (w/ threaded ends) - 5 pieces of pipe insulation Cut to length, drill holes, insert bolts, screw pipes into place, add foam.

My opinion is that because today's cars are so much more complex (and difficult to service) than even 20 years ago, there are many more fragile things to break - especially electronics, digital screens, turbos, sensors, driving systems, safety etc. In addition, many things that used to be small...

So you may not know yet, but what will Ford have to say about this? Is Ford taking on any responsibility or does this all just count as an insurance claim? Kinda seems like Ford owes you a new car (and a "sorry we almost killed you for using your car on a public road.")

Coming from a 2006 4Runner, which was a flawless car except for frame rot, get ready for a lot of recalls. Other than that, my 2021 Wildtrak has been great, but I definitely do not expect it to be as reliable as a Toyota product. I would highly suggest paying for an extended warrantee if you...

Interesting. I recently noticed that as that window goes down, it struggles more with the last 3 inches (that's what she said), and I wonder if that is triggering the confusion of the sensor.

Same issue same window. The other day it took me about 20 tries before I successfully got it to reset - not sure what I did different to make it finally work. This can be really frustrating when you are in a hurry and can't secure your vehicle. And, it's always this window (which also gets used...

When I got my Bronco in late 2021, I brought it straight to a high end shop that offered rust protection. My previous 4Runner had to be scrapped only because of the rotting frame. Here is a write up with a couple very interesting videos that show in detail where and how good the rust treatment...

Don't do it. There is a reason so many people are selling their used Bronco Exhausts - they all sound horrible. You can't make an American small displacement 6-cylinder turbo motor sound good. Nor would it even be desirable on a SUV! Put the money toward a 69 Camaro.

This reroutes the chimes so they will no longer play through your newly amplified stereo speakers, but they do come through the built-in speaker in the head unit. They are still completely audible so you don't have to worry that you will no longer hear them.

Glad to help - I found that code on an F-150 Forscan forum but it's a must have with an aftermarket amp - at least for the way mine is wired with the new setup. I originally had the 2021 base 6 speaker setup that had no amp or sub. You'd have to go back to 1985 to find car stereo that sounded worse.

Hey I think I found the setting for you to fix this:

Here is the spreadsheet I found/used:

I misread the title of this post and I am relieved that now I understand. I was much more concerned that you have lifted a Bronco II. As a previous owner, those things tip over trying to go through a MacDonalds drive thru.

My god how much I wish I had a realistic use case to validate buying this.
