  1. Strange metallic sound on startup (not phasers)

    If I am the only one having this it can't be normal
  2. What’s wrong with my gauge cluster? Different Font Used?

    IDK that’s what I was told. That wouldn’t change the analog dial.
  3. What’s wrong with my gauge cluster? Different Font Used?

    Exporters have to change the cluster to read MPH when they import them to the States. They must've used an aftermarket cluster or some kind of overlay
  4. Strange metallic sound on startup (not phasers)

    This was after the VCT’S and it was much warmer today. It’s louder when cold. Can someone please tell me if they have this as well, It's driving me crazy. Is it just a Ford thing?
  5. Strange metallic sound on startup (not phasers)

    I’ll start by saying I’ve had the VCT’s changed out under warranty. I’ve noticed a metallic sound almost like the starter solenoid isn’t pulling back fast enough and hitting the flywheel. Or a pulley again (replaced an idler and tensioner pulley already). Sounds like it's from the lower rear...
  6. Idler and Tensioner Pulley Failure

    And again, they’ve denied warranty. Said there was too much mud and it was due to excessive off-road use. Claiming Ford would never reimburse them after they got the parts. Notes from the tech said customer “swamped it” ffs I just paid to have the two pulleys replaced and at least it’s fixed now.
  7. Forscan Profile

    iirc you can get one in forscan if you have internet connection
  8. Idler and Tensioner Pulley Failure

    UPDATE TIME! Looks like they're going to honor the warranty. I went to the Dealership and spoke to the Service Manager. He said he'd contact Ford and do some digging. Fast forward 5 days. The Advisor called saying the parts had arrived and we could book it in (at $110 more than the original...
  9. Wildtrack @ Hollister Hills SVRA... Lessons Learned

    After taking out the alternator and a few pulleys in the mud I’ll be avoiding it from now on lol
  10. Idler and Tensioner Pulley Failure

    yeah the alternator stretch belt was changed but I have pulleys on the main accessories belt that got wiped out form “mud/water” I spoke to the service manager face to face. He’s going to call Ford and see if they would accept the claim if they put it through. Small win for the time being
  11. Idler and Tensioner Pulley Failure

    Exactly. I wonder if I should try and talk to the Service Manager directly?
  12. Idler and Tensioner Pulley Failure

    I recently went out on a local trail and found myself in some deep mud/water. After working the Bronco out, I got the dreaded Service Charging System fault message. I attempted to drive it home, but it died. I had it towed into the Dealership. Thanks to B6G, I found the TSB 22-2392 for the...
  13. Muddy water fording alternator issue fix: TSB 22-2392 -- Mud Accumulation in Generator

    2.7 on the accessory side belt wasn’t part or the TSB but it all happened during the same incident that caused the alternator failure. Has sure shaken my confidence on the trails that’s for sure.
  14. Muddy water fording alternator issue fix: TSB 22-2392 -- Mud Accumulation in Generator

    So apparently when I killed the alternator in the mud, it also wiped out 2 or more pulleys says the Tech note. The alternator was covered under warranty but the pulleys won’t be ffs They want to replace the three idler pulleys and the tensioner. When I asked why they don’t just replace the ones...
  15. Muddy water fording alternator issue fix: TSB 22-2392 -- Mud Accumulation in Generator

    Update* they did install a new alternator with the shield under warranty. The problem now is the new alternator sounds like it came off a 1996 Aerostar, the whine is unbearable smh back she goes. Update 2.0* they said drive it for the weekend and see if it goes away ffs
  16. Muddy water fording alternator issue fix: TSB 22-2392 -- Mud Accumulation in Generator

    the worst of it was maybe 25-30" deep. Got momentarily stuck but was able to back out of it. The alternator side was definitely on the deeper side. If I gave it more, I might have made it out first shot but it would've been worse. I thought it was the line I took going in but I was wrong.
  17. Muddy water fording alternator issue fix: TSB 22-2392 -- Mud Accumulation in Generator

    Add another fried alternator to the list. Got the service charging system warning after hitting a trail, it then lit up like a Christmas Tree. Almost made it home before it died lol. Thanks to this TSB, they're covering it under warranty. However, they didn't mention whether the cover would be...
  18. CAT back Exhaust - which do you prefer?

    I'm expecting a Flowmaster American Thunder axle back kit to be delivered today. Not much louder but still noticeable over stock.... and it was less expensive than most
  19. Reflective headliner for hard top?

    sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen to me
