Bronco is currently at the dealer waiting to be further evaluated by Ford. My favorite independent shop already ran a few test and ruled out plugs and coils for the misfire codes. They did the compression test and verified low compression on C6. Anyone else have experience here?
fwiw - called...
any updates on this? I just had my bronco throw a flashing check engine light, shuddering hard, and codes - p0306, p0316, P0306
Its at my mechanic now being looked at. 52k miles. 2.7
Just had my front diff replaced right before Christmas. Identified the front pinion leak and had that fixed earlier in the year. I'm assuming when the leak was fixed the front dif was not installed with correct spacing. My bearings and gears started howling a few months later, maybe 20k miles...
By traction gain I just mean that the front wheels engage when the computer decides adding to your traction and that is not something that can be really anticipated.
I'll just add, since this seems to have evolved into a more technical discussion of how 4A works vs 4H - I like to use 4H off road because it is more predictable when driving on varying surfaces at speed. 4A can lead to unanticipated traction gains and losses.
Really looking forward to the third break light setup, the drop down drawer, and without question the rear window panels w/ the quick detatch rails - That is a NEED
I feel this pretty intensely right now. My 23 bronco had the pinion seal leak fixed a few thousand miles ago. I dropped it off at the shop last week and just found out the entire front diff is getting replaced because of a failure no one wants to actually describe in detail. Similar to others...
i just got off the phone with my local ford dealer, and i'm getting a new front diff basically. Everything but the diff housing is getting replaced. parts eta is 2 days
Very interesting thank you for that.
I've got a rattle/griding/metal on metal noise coming from the front end as well. You can hear it coming off of buildings while driving by windows up or down. I'm expecting to get this fixed and ditch the vehicle.....seems like ford has just missed the mark...
Keeping tabs on this and sorry for your experience . I'm taking my 23 in next week for a pretty loud driveline whine that is exceedingly loud. The front diff pinion seal was replaced a while back but I've definitely got something jacked up.
What was your first indication you had a driveline issue?
i just stumbled across this, i have a very loud whining sound that i'm going to have looked at next week by ford. Can you send me any information you have? I had the front pinion seal replaced already about 10k miles ago (or less) and i think they didnt properly install everything. The whining...
