yesterday @MOBRONCO posted this updated sched dated July 8

posted yesterday at NHTSA Steering Failure - Ford Denies Warranty Claim " . . Despite the service department at the dealership saying they identified the malfunctioning part, Ford sent us away without approving a warranty repair—citing a policy that because the service personnel could not...

2.7 ? sounds like fuel pump

thx posting BN article link - added in OP - they actually link to this B6g thread - am surprised 12 July '22 - ' Should You Worry About the Bronco 2.7-Liter V-6 Investigation? ' - Bronco Nation, article " Another Bronco blog has tabulated 55 claimed failures, mostly engines built between May...

if Ford is not cooperating to provide you w consistent professional repairs & compensation package, there's another avenue - you can contact BBB for example, @G-Red had a 2.3L bad turbo replaced , and he got repairs & compensation package better than most 2.7L blown engines ! he did this by...

if only all Ford dealers could be like Granger Motors

right, the pages from Owner's Manual spec which Drive modes (i.e. 4A, 4H, 4L, or 2H) are available in each GOAT Mode - see highlighted pages in OP the Front & Rear Lockers are mostly for situations where one of the wheels is spinning by itself, or when you're worried that may happen - again...

well there's the rub, - the GOAT Modes Mud/Ruts or Sand automatically default to 4H locked 4WD, and they also automatically engage the Rear Differential Locker by default - so w those GOAT Modes you're already selecting a fairly extreme locked 4WD configuration, which is only meant for really...

another dropped valve event reported @FB - engine replaced - Scott Brooks - Annandale, MN ~ June 30 listed in B6g, maybe Mr. Brooks will share engine ser#, or last-8 of VIN - we hope to include the engine build-date in B6g tracking

a minor Note - I did not presume to post this thread as ' PSA ' this morning my thread Title was : ' QUIZ - How Much Damage can happen from pushing the wrong Button ? ' then about 20-minutes later the Mods changed it to the present thread Title ' PSA: Transmission drivetrain damage can ...

yes, I wondered if Ford just lazily copied that from the Part-Time 4x4 section, or if there's some other reason - if the build has Advanced 4x4 you would think ' Slippery ' would be okay since using 4A Mode

Owner's Manual over 550 pages - have people read it True or False ? . . driving regular streets can cause major damage if, A) . . select the wrong G.O.A.T. Mode ? B) . . push the wrong 4WD button ? C) . . dash buttons Front or Rear Lockers ? D) . . dash button Trail Turn Assist ? Answer...

Partial Update this one from Monday the symptoms are bit unusual We're waiting to see what the dealer service dept finds Ruben plans to update when more info

re Topics - to my thinking, the only off-topic subjects are politics and lawsuits Everything else fair game far as I know

The Goal - the Ford mud-flaps looked too big & expensive, but I wanted something behind the front tires to prevent rock-chips on the side panels. Decided would try to make small custom mud-flaps, to go along w two sets of IAG V1 EZ-Steps When the Bronco was finally delivered I got to work Few...

B6g tracking data indicate the New Valves started w Julian 266 (from Sept 23 onward, i.e. 21266 and higher ) - for a Nov 12 blend you need the engine label to see the Julian date - the -AB engines started in Nov '21 - and -AB engines have the New Valves also, as @bytheway said ref. - Graph of...

gotta like the approach of your service mgr. - just start fresh w another new engine - this is great ? do you have the mileage on this one - OP says about 3000 mi ? - do you have accurate mileage ? you're in good company - this is fourth example of two replacements - you could start a club w...

It's like you said Jim - ' 100 years ICE experience and nowadays Ford can't make em reliable . . . so watch out when they try to launch Hybrids ' . . . and now they recall half of em, i.e. 49,000 With other vehicles they recall tens, or hundreds of thousands but not w Bronco ? From B6g data...
