  1. Why NOT to go from Plastic to Modular

    Even at that, you would just be able to wire in a new set of fogs that utilize the factory switch/harness. Several companies are offering adapter harnesses to go from aftermarket fogs to the factory wiring, because even guys with the Capable and factory fogs are upgrading to the Modular and...
  2. Ford rehires ‘gray beard’ engineers after AI falls short

    Unfortunately he's just one Maia and can't be everywhere at once...so stuff is still getting past him.
  3. Ford rehires ‘gray beard’ engineers after AI falls short

    Ford, like many other companies, are learning that AI isn't ready to replace people who do even somewhat critical jobs. It is a tool that, left unchecked, will (at least currently) fail to do the job it's intended for and cost more than the employees that were doing said job.
  4. Railcar Tracking

    That's unfortunate that your dealer and sales person have been rather uninformative. Yes, there are ways you can track it. One is VINView, which your dealer would need to sign you up for...it gives you text messages every time there is a status change on your rail car. Your dealer can actually...
  5. Thinking about a Bronco

    I will admit I haven't driven a 4-door variant, because when we were looking we were looking specifically at 2-doors because it'll be my son's primary vehicle in about a year. Very little legroom in the back seat means very little chance of extra passengers, meaning fewer distractions for a new...
  6. Ford Pass App - Bronco stuck in Tennessee

    Yeah definitely sounds like the cell modem went kaput. If you want that functionality back, good chance it'll have to go to the dealer. A battery reset MAY help but I'd be ready to take it in.
  7. Thinking about a Bronco

    I'm in the same boat. I love manuals, I enjoy driving them...for fun. If I ever get another musclecar I'll be looking long and hard for a manual (I miss my '68 Firebird...400 pontiac V8, 4-speed 'rock crusher' Muncie...I had a BLAST in that car). But for my daily drivers? I'm tired, boss. Tired...
  8. The Repair Lasted Exactly One Rainstorm

    I'm not suggesting you pull anything apart. I'm saying do a little simple diagnostic work - find exactly where the leak is so they can address it. Find the entry point of the water, not just 'oh it's dripping down my A-pillar.' Figure out where the seal is weak, and point that out to your...
  9. The Repair Lasted Exactly One Rainstorm

    How many posts about this are you going to make? You've made several here, and one over on FTE. Are you taking the panels out at all, or are they staying permanently in place? If you're taking them out and then seeing the leak, then this is 100% operator error. If they're not being pulled out...
  10. purchasing question

    Some of the Ford connectivity stuff can be pretty useful, but most of it can be done just as well through something like CarPlay or Android Auto, so it's not really necessary. However, they're not gonna refund that, since it's part of the 'as built' and was ordered with the vehicle (even if a...
  11. Thinking about a Bronco

    The guys on here who have the manual and the 4-cylinder, love it. I haven't driven one, because they didn't have one on the lot when we got ours, but we were also getting it for our son's primary vehicle in about a year. Didn't want to train him to drive a manual on something expensive to fix...
  12. trailer power?

    I'm not sure on specifics to the Bronco, but if it's like most new vehicles, yes it provides power, up to 30 amps for a short time, otherwise it's enough to run lights and some light-duty accessories, and it DOES charge a standard deep-cycle battery if you are running for half an hour or better...
  13. Auto Stop/Start not working (Resolved)

    Alternator has no issue keeping ours above that threshold, but then it mostly goes on longer drives of 40+ minutes every time. If you're short-tripping it all the time, no, it won't keep it charged, but that goes for basically any alternator, not just those with BMS.
  14. Centering steering wheel?

    Since IIRC this is rack and pinion steering, this would be adjusted by adjusting one tie rod end out and the other in. Will slightly change how far each direction your wheels can turn but not by enough to be noticed. It's...possible...to do this yourself in the garage, but you've got to make...
  15. New Order Delay

    IIRC someone had posted a thread at one point about how their vehicle got pulled for a random quality inspection - meaning they went back over the whole thing to make sure everything was correct. He wasn't able to find that out until after the vehicle was at the dealership. It's possible you've...
  16. Towing a U-Haul Trailer

    I put my old adjustable hitch in the Bronco (a cheapy) because I have a better hitch for my truck that is rated for what I tow with it. The adjustable hitch (this guy) is rated for a 5k trailer, which is more than the Bronco is rated for and more than I'd ever want to put behind it anyway. Due...
  17. I can relate, the older I get. How about you 1980's babies?

    See that's different because you actually wheel. The vast majority of people don't, and at most will drive down some trails where they'll never need half to 3/4 of the capability of a Bronco. And even at that, I'm not saying others SHOULDN'T make mods to their vehicles if they feel like it...
  18. I can relate, the older I get. How about you 1980's babies?

    Given that you live in Michigan, it's entirely possible to end up in some pretty unlikely scenarios at the worst possible moment. I've seen some WILD stuff here.
  19. I can relate, the older I get. How about you 1980's babies?

    F150 or Super Duty Tremor? I'm not as familiar with the F150, but the Super Duty Tremor is already pretty level from the factory - I know, I have one. I echo a lot of people's sentiments on this thread. We got the Expedition as a people mover, and got it with the 'special edition' package to...
  20. One of the Largest Manufacturers Gone Bankrupt!!!

    Maybe, but I remember seeing a list of everything that this conglomerate owned...and that many aftermarket companies going out at once are going to leave a MASSIVE void in the market that won't be easy to fill. It's going to negatively impact everyone else for a bit.
