  1. Engine knock perhaps - 2.3L ?

    Definitely not the sound I have. Just like @pvaska mine is only when cold and only under load and I'll add I've heard the exact noise before (as I mention somewhere else in this thread or my OP) and that was from a mis-adjusted timing on an engine which I believed to be pre-ignition. My only...
  2. What's your least favorite Bronco color?

    Eruption does seem to have gotten traction, I was never a fan of Cactus Grey or Area 51. I was a fairly early Eruption Green as that came out in 22. I love my Race Red and think it is the most under rated. Originally that was going to be a Rapid Red, but I now consider the Race Red is far...
  3. where are you FORD?

    Curious what the fault is with your 4.27 rear?
  4. I've moved on - For now

    Can't blame you at all. While I have yet to encounter any significant issue with either of my Broncos, I do feel if something were to go wrong it would leave me stranded. I just feel there are enough software/electronic glitches or software diagnostics that will decide there is some fatal...
  5. Accelerating on its own when crawling.

    I had posted previously about experiencing this acceleration and like you felt it may have been the transmission shifting making it seem to lurch forward. Today I had this happen with my Black Diamond and my Black Diamond has a manual transmission. So the lurching forward/acceleration doesn't...
  6. 5k over MSRP when titling out of state?

    I am in a similar boat with dual residencies and bought a Bronco for each residence. Before getting to particulars of what I ended up doing, let me first say there is nothing about being an out of state buyer that requires them to sell over MSRP. I believe it is more of an excuse. The claim...
  7. Electronic Nannies - Details?

    I can't speak to the Raptor per se, but the basic items in this area should be the same as the Bronco. There is Traction Control, Stability Control (aka AdvanceTrac) and ABS. Traction control can be independently turned on/off with a push button when in 2H, 4H or 4H. It automatically returns...
  8. Is Ice Mountain or whatever still a thing?

    My opinion is that they aren't parking many these days. They may not have cleared out dirt/ice mountain but have gone a long way to clearing it....they just can't keep old ones there forever.
  9. Price Protection Certificate - Bronco lettering colors

    My base non-SAS has black letters on the front. The MY21 price protection certificate is tied to you and not the order and can be claimed when you purchase a Bronco. I should have been in the system quite a long time now. I don't think they need a physical certificate. I got my MY21 price...
  10. Received unexpected order cancellation email from Ford

    Maybe your original order never got connected with your reservation thus the reservation remained idle. You just did all the normal things someone ordered did thru all the yearly roll overs and such. Now that unconnected reservation was just cancelled. In such a case it shouldn't affect...
  11. First snow drive

    I respect people can do what they wish. And despite my current location, yes I lived and grew up in the northeast and fit the profile you describe being very very versed driving in the snow. My entire interest in the Bronco is for snow driving and to me that is a sport of sorts. I still live...
  12. First snow drive

    Cool I don't get why stay in 2H rather than go into 4H? Just to prove a point it isn't necessary? Unless I am actually testing something to test, when there is enough snow to create slip I always go into 4H. I would kick myself forever if I were to get into control trouble in 2H and bang...
  13. Quality is not job 1

    Shouldn't that be "Welcome to the party pal"
  14. Our Dangerous "Advanced" Bronco Wipers

    I have often been frustrated by the interlocking of the wipers to the windshield fluid spray because inevitably the wipers would do one dry wipe smearing bugs across the dry windshield which the fluid/wipers then can't remove. I complemented the Bronco's designers for having it spray the...
  15. Our Dangerous "Advanced" Bronco Wipers

    Is this part of just some configurations, or a standard function of the wipers on all the new Broncos? I recall an instance where it seemed my intermittent rate suddenly slowed down and I had to go to continuous. Neither of my broncos has more than the base interior packages. I agree this...
  16. 📧 Bad news Friday... official email from Ford: "Urgent information regarding your Ford Bronco order."

    I feel for any in this situation now especially for 2020 reservation holders. When my Base got built surprisingly early (just months after ordering in fall of 21), I felt much less pressure about my Black Diamond order (from a week one reservation) that seemed like it would never be scheduled...
  17. 📧 Bad news Friday... official email from Ford: "Urgent information regarding your Ford Bronco order."

    In my workplace we are still facing crazy lead times, sometimes over 100 weeks. This is on electronic components (including "chips") that normally would be stock or if they had a long delivery it might be 12 or 16 weeks. There were always the few with longer times, it is just crazy now
  18. Essential Tools to Get?

    Yes a good point. There are of course many OBD2 with different capabilities. I have a couple already I use with our 02 Explorer and 99 Ranger. The bronco has far more than those 20+ year old vehicles. In a way I expected suggestions that involved OBD2, but specifically which one might be...
