  1. [UPDATE: Raptor Engine Replaced. Factory defects with cracked heads] - Bronco Raptor 3.0 Engine Blown after 300 miles due to cracked heads failure

    Look, the goal for any company producing anything is to have as few defects as possible. Sure Ford has had some quality issues, sure they're working on getting better. But your argument "Un acceptable to have engine failure with this few miles." clearly isn't rooted in reality, not in the...
  2. Easy CD player solution

    I keep waiting for someone to try and come up with a solution to play an 8 track in their Bronco.
  3. [UPDATE: Raptor Engine Replaced. Factory defects with cracked heads] - Bronco Raptor 3.0 Engine Blown after 300 miles due to cracked heads failure

    Exactly. I mean I feel for the guy, but some manufacturing defects are inevitable. I'm sure if he decides he doesn't want that B-Raptor anymore someone would take it off his hands in a hot second...
  4. [UPDATE: Raptor Engine Replaced. Factory defects with cracked heads] - Bronco Raptor 3.0 Engine Blown after 300 miles due to cracked heads failure

    Here we go with "the sky is falling, the sky is falling" about the 3L. People, have you never in your life seen something with a defect? It is an absolute marvel of modern manufacturing process engineering that they're able to build so many of these SUPER complicated assemblies we call an...
  5. Why does the auto start stop feature bother so many people?

    This thread is such a dumpster fire... For some reason start-stop is just something people have strong opinions against and they're not ever going to be convinced otherwise.
  6. Why does the auto start stop feature bother so many people?

    What surprises me (it shouldn't) is how many people on here truly have no clue how modern engines work. They can't comprehend that things work differently than their 1972 Ranchero (or whatever they drove 30, 40, or 50 years ago) where there was absolutely no electronic engine control. And...
  7. Why does the auto start stop feature bother so many people?

    But that goes against all of the conspiracy theories about how start-stop is gonna ruin your engine...
  8. Why does the auto start stop feature bother so many people?

    What happens when anything blows up? Do turbos wear out? Yes. Engines also wear out. Engines, turbos, transmissions,.. are not wear items because they're not expected to fail or be replaced with-in the standard life of the vehicle.
  9. Why does the auto start stop feature bother so many people?

    At what interval do you replace your turbos? If it's a wear item the maintenance schedule should tell you when to replace them right? Turbos are NOT a wear item, they're designed to last the life of the engine. Wear items are brakes, belts, tires, spark plugs, batteries,... Stuff that gets...
  10. Why does the auto start stop feature bother so many people?

    I would guess that the majority of anti auto start stop people fall into one or more of the following categories: Over 50. Hate technology/will never own a smart phone. Are also equally adamantly against EVs and wind turbines.
  11. Why does the auto start stop feature bother so many people?

    Turbos are not a wear item, they're designed to last the lifetime of the engine. Should you shut your engine off right after pulling max capacity to the top of a mountain at full throttle? NO! Is it ok to shut down occasionally in normal traffic driving conditions? Absolutely. I'm sure you...
  12. Why does the auto start stop feature bother so many people?

    Does it save fuel? YES Does it reduce emissions? YES, especially in big cities with heavy stop-and-go traffic. Trust me when I say this, I am no yuppie environmentalist. I drive a lifted brick with soon to be 37" tires and the larger engine option. That being said, this is a no brainer...
  13. Why does the auto start stop feature bother so many people?

    People just can't cope with change. Period. I have yet to hear a good argument against AutoSS. Basically a bunch of "I don't like it" and excuses that don't hold water. Wear and tear is factored into your vehicle for the feature. The starter is engineered for the extra cycles for...
  14. Optimal lift to support 37s on Everglades

    It all depends on how much you want to spend. I went with Eibach 2.0 Coilovers. They're fully adjustable so you can set your desired ride height. Right now, I have them on and set all the way down, still running the factory UCAs. I'm going to upgrade my UCA's and add an adjustable track bar...
  15. Sasquatch Tires- Folgers Bucket Accessory

    Anyone RIGHT! Running through a mud puddle in some alley doesn't qualify as offroad... ANYONE who has really been offroading with these tires (anywhere but Moab, where every tire is good) knows they suck so so bad. Not a good all-around tire because they are terrible off-road plus you can't...
  16. Kansas SAS coilover takeoffs

    The box size for 2 coilovers is 32x14x7, fronts weighed 25 each, rears were 23, so let's call it 50 lbs a box. USPS shows $80 a box, $160ish total.

  19. ⚠ Tube Doors! By Mabett??? 👀

    I agree with this, I wasn't a real big fan until I saw the video. For the price you can't compare. The logo should be easy enough to cover up too.
