  1. Car wash etiquette please

    Don't forget that the owner's manual states not to take the MIC top through automated car washes, and recommends low-pressure water and a cloth to wash it.
  2. Car wash etiquette please

    I'm not as worried about which way the brush faces, so long as it's on the hooks - I will ONLY use it on my tires and maybe my rims (albeit gently) to get brake dust off, because god knows what kind of dirt and rocks could be hiding in there. TP goes OVER the top. Look up the patent on it, it...
  3. Motorcraft oil versus Mobil 1

    These oil threads crack me up. Because while I never had to use oil cans, I remember a lot of the other stuff. I also remember my dad putting 1 quart of Slick 50 in their 1990 GMC suburban (350 chevy) at the first oil change. He might have done that for a few oil changes, after 35 years and...
  4. Window goes down by itself (2024 Everglades)

    Yeah for whatever reason the window lost its 'soft limit' for up. Happens sometimes. Accidentally did it to myself on the driver's window of my truck, had my elbow out the window and went to roll the window up, caught my elbow and went back down...then didn't want to STAY up to re-set the up...
  5. Local Dealership, Desperate to sell their Stroppe?

    This isn't meet being alarmist, this is federal rules. rearview cameras are considered safety. LCD screens that the camera view comes up on are considered safety. Shocks are absolutely safety. If you back into someone because your backup camera was non-functional, and it is determined to be...
  6. Local Dealership, Desperate to sell their Stroppe?

    And if any of those are determined to be the cause of an accident, your insurance has grounds to deny your claim. But hey, you do you. Mine goes back to the dealer for anything while it's under warranty, which currently everything is. Once warranty runs out (provided I don't get the Ford ESP...
  7. Bronco newbie must have mods for mpg and wind sound

    I always get a chuckle at these threads. You bought a Bronco. It's a brick, and for its size it's pretty heavy. It is also modular - things are meant to come off. You can address some of the wind noise, some people have posted some interesting mods to try to reduce it...or you can embrace it...
  8. Local Dealership, Desperate to sell their Stroppe?

    At that point I wouldn't really care - they do what they have to to move inventory and make as much profit as they can. I get that, I'm not opposed to that, and yes, frankly, I do like the flat color scheme this gives off. But if you're going to charge a premium on top of the MSRP, you're...
  9. Local Dealership, Desperate to sell their Stroppe?

    I honestly hate when dealers do this stuff. I was once looking around for a Super Duty (and ended up in my first Ram PowerWagon), and found one that had everything I wanted, and nothing I didn't, at least from the factory. But the idiot dealership had put one of those Black Widow...
  10. GMC Jimmy is under development

    Later ones with the 4.3 had considerably more pep. Still not a race car but I had no issues getting my '99 SLS 2-door through pretty much anything.
  11. GMC Jimmy is under development

    Perhaps to the untrained eye...but that's a solid rear axle and a frame under it, not just another unibody crossover. I still think they'll botch the launch and end up making it terrible, but if they stuck with these renderings and actually kept it body-on-frame...well I still wouldn't buy one...
  12. MIC Hardtop- Ford Gold certified CPO

    As others have said, the honeycomb stuff would be covered under your 3/36 which it sounds like you're out of. The other stuff...That's actual damage from an impact of some kind, and with the heavy scratching it looks like due to operator error (not saying YOU specifically), because those...
  13. Extended Warranty (Is it worth it?)

    I have heard too many stories of this - and run into several dealers myself who it genuinely felt like didn't want to address an issue. And this has been across pretty much all 3 US OEMs. It's how I discovered the '98-03? 04? S-series trucks with the 4.3 and the CMPFI system had issues with...
  14. Extended Warranty (Is it worth it?)

    This is my take on it. It's like an insurance policy - may never need it but it's there if something major happens. And on these newer vehicles with so many electronic components that are ridiculously expensive, if just a couple modules fail it pays for itself pretty quick...never mind if you...
  15. Highbeams not working & "fast" turn indicator on instrument panel

    Sounds like a wiring issue but you'll need to dig into it. Guessing the signature light not lighting up has something to do with it. High beams not working may or may not be related but betting they are. Only experience I have with fast-blinking on newer vehicles is with my pontoon trailer...
  16. Extended Warranty (Is it worth it?)

    See above. Run a search. My opinion is that if you're getting the Ford ESP extended warranty, it's good to have for peace of mind. Covers function, not form, but is a good insurance policy against expensive repairs that you may or may not have. If you're going to get a 3rd party extended...
  17. No V-6 Two Doors??

    No, for 2026 it became a 4-door. In 2026 2-door models were 4-cyl only. Don't believe me, check out the build and price tool on Ford's website. For 2027 rumor is there is no 2-door model. I've explained this in many other threads - we are lucky to have had a 2-dr at all. The tooling to build...
  18. E85 - Simple Yes or No

    Yep, this is exactly what I was saying - just worded a bit better I think. When the cost between E85 and gasoline is far enough apart, you can absolutely save money running it...but the spread has to be there or it's not worth it.
  19. Software Updates when NOT set to receive automatically

    Left ours on on all our vehicles, haven't had a single issue - except that when they install, the dash settings sometimes tend to go back to factory. Which is annoying but easily resolved.
  20. E85 - Simple Yes or No

    E-85 isn't 85 octane, it is 85% ethanol (well, it's supposed to be - it can vary). It actually has an octane rating over 100...but it has significantly less energy and therefore requires more of it. And Broncos (and indeed many boosted engines) aren't tuned to run on it. And because it can vary...
