A bronco II for sure, I don't recall the full size having rear windows that came up like that. For the year it would be between 1984 and 1988 as the 89 and 90 had different front with the headlight cluster wrapping around the corner so the yell front turn signal/running light was visible from...

Clearly not a 6G, I love it as it reflects former Broncos I've owned. Anyone care to guess the Bronco model and year?

My first thought is that the "winter" tires had a similar tread pattern/coarseness/aggressiveness as the M+S tires I consider all season road tires I've been running for years. Ones I consider okay in the snow but I run more aggressive on my primary snow vehicle. My bronco's still have the...

Tides in, dirts out

Badlands and Wildtrack comes with heavy duty modular bumper which is premium on other trims. Modular bumper does not have fog lights option. On my Black Diamond I got the modular bumper rather than the capable bumper, capable has fog lights but modular doesn't so I didn't get fog lights. To...

When it started rolling back did you let off the clutch to to get the engine to hold? I can hear gear spinning whine sound which may just be because in four low. The 2.3L is so little displacement that it is fairly weak as far as engine braking goes so maybe the whine was the engine.

It is a quirk of them being garaged in different states, my relative time at each location, and having a work vehicle to use where I have the bronco in question garaged.

I won't dismiss the chance I forgot t reset it. And you are right that if I went to the dealer they would just reset it and do nothing else. In any case it is too late, I changed the oil and reset it.

Even with the low miles I did drive it regularly, just fairly short distance s that may be a role. Anyway I changed the oil, reset it and we'll see what happens over the coming months.

This is the red brooch in my profile pic and that was delivered in September 22. Low miles because of weekend driving and mostly local. It does seem unusual. If I forgot to reset, well I am just a bit over a year and maybe it is a year not 6 months. I am pretty sure I reset it but maybe...

I think you are correct. If I forgot to reset, maybe because it had reached a year it decided it was needed. Or maybe 6 months it says needed, but that seems inconsistent with the supposed 10K mile interval unless they assume 20K+ miles a year which isn't typical.

That is a possibility. I know it needs to be reset so seems odd. But maybe I did.

I drive it regularly, but it is mostly on the weekends and not long distance. The two broncos I have are garaged in different states about 1700 miles apart. The one in question I am around regularly but as I said I tend to only drive it on the weekends. Maybe I forgot to reset but I seem to...

I did an oil change because of the 6 months. Despite the low miles it was pretty dark. Not black but dark. I only know how to do a full reset. There is some chance I forgot to reset but I recall checking it back the I changed the oil.

Started my Bronco and it comes up on the dash telling me I need an oil change. It has only been 430 miles since the last, but it was done back in April. I was probably going to do it anyway regardless of mileage as it was over six months but I like to think I am much more aggressive about...

Horror stories certainly abound. I started doing oil changes after I had an engine failure as a result of a shop over tightening the drain plug causing it to leak. I never had a problem with oil loss before that. Car did not give me a clue it was low on oil till it was down so low that too...

I can see the oil well enough, it is all the extra oil that sits in the dip stick channel that gets on it.

the problem is too much oil is sticking to it that is in the dip-stick channel.

Yes, I look at both sides to judge, but even then there is so much extra it becomes difficult.

I am old enough to realize it is a recipe eventually to get burnt.
