  1. Bronco Down! Rear Ended While Parked in Driveway, Rear Frame Damaged - She's Totaled

    Actually, I think that is due to an OTA software update recently. I noticed just today for the first time that mine didn't do the double-honk when I got out to unload the groceries into the garage before backing it in. Car was running, keys in the center stack, got out and closed the door....no...
  2. Still love my Bronco. A Bronco Appreciation Post

    Yeah, yours sucks!! I hate it too!! ...only because you don't have it yet.
  3. Still love my Bronco. A Bronco Appreciation Post

    In the fall of 2023 I had turned 50. I had a newly minted teenage driver in the house that needed a car, and wasn't about to give him mine (2014 Mercedes E350), so I traded mine for a 2014 VW Tiquan with 38k miles and gave that to him. Then, I needed a car, and I wanted to mark my 50th. I...
  4. Is BLIS supposed to sound an alert?

    Found this on a search after posting the same question myself. Would Forscan have the ability to turn this on? I'd like for the audible beep too if I missed the blinking light warning and had my turn signal on. Every car I've owned with BLIS would beep if you turned on your turn signal in the...
  5. Blind Spot Monitoring Beep/Warning?

    I'm curious, if there is a car in my blind spot and the car picks is up (light on in the mirror), if I hit the turn signal, is there not an audible warning option too? If there is, I can't seem to find it in the settings. Seems a little half-baked for the warning light to be on in the mirror...
  6. From Wrangler to Bronco

    Not to mention, you're up in Philly which is not exactly winter friendly (road salt). Have you looked at the underside of a 10 year old jeep in a road salt environment before? My son wanted a Jeep as his first car. I entertained the idea of a used one (say 2015-17-ish) for about a minute. Man...
  7. From Wrangler to Bronco

    You being a tech yourself, what does that response from the Jeep dealership tell you about (1) the car and (2) the service? Tells me, that (1) the problem is bigger than (2) they're willing to invest themselves into fixing for you, with hopes that (3) you just go away. I think you know what to...
  8. The allure of the soft top....

    There is no way I could swap the tops by myself without destroying the paint work on the back of the car! The ST is clumsy to get it seated correctly to install it. If you ever do put it on, do yourself a real favor and buy those roll bar covers for the back before you do. I have the IAG covers...
  9. The allure of the soft top....

    If the hard top could go into safari mode, that's all I would have. But since it can't, I have dual top. I rarely open up my soft top, and when I have, it's been at night which is really nice. But, I do like to take the rear windows out when I know it's not going to rain over the next few days...
  10. From Wrangler to Bronco

    I say buy it, and then make sure you stick around here too so we can all pester you with "insider" questions!
  11. From Wrangler to Bronco

    That's excellent to hear! I learned something new today! The 2.3 in all of it's various iterations has been a work horse for Ford and associates over the decades (Mazda, Volvo, etc).. I would have 0% issue buying one myself, especially now that they've address the carbon concerns with the DI...
  12. From Wrangler to Bronco

    OP, let me ask you this.... The 2.3 is a common engine with a long history across different model types. It is direct injection only. I'm sure you're aware of the carbon build up on the intake valve issue for the DI engine design in general. I'm curious, perhaps not in a Bronco, but have you...
  13. Like 87 octane better (2.7)

    For GDI, I am a fan of premium only as well. I've not used anything else since Bill Clinton. But decided I would give it a try, if for anything, just to see if there is any difference, and to me, there is. Not major, no "night and day", kind've hard to describe. I guess it feels a bit more...
  14. Bronco Down! Rear Ended While Parked in Driveway, Rear Frame Damaged - She's Totaled

    Looks great Roger! Hope you enjoy it even more than the last one!
  15. Like 87 octane better (2.7)

    It's weird to say, and first time in probably 25 years that I used it, but I put in 87 octane instead of the premium 93 octane recently (Costco / Top Tier), and I have to say....I like it better! I know.....it's weird to say, and I'm sure many will disagree (with good reason), but I have found...
  16. UPDATE....Dealer scratched my wheels?????

    Always catch more flies with honey, is the tactic I take and has worked (for the most part) every time. I'm willing to bet the dealer will take care of you on this. It will likely happen again though down the line, so touchups is probably the right route. Just make sure when you get the tires...
  17. What I hate about my Bronco, you? (edit) Or maybe I should have called it "What would you want if you were designing it"

    Sorry, but that's pretty damn funny!!! There's nothing that I hate about mine, except one thing that I "think" has nothing to do with the Bronco....Keeping the damn tires balanced for 70mph. But, I have BFG's. I had K03's and they would shake so badly I couldn't drive it on the highway. Traded...
  18. Ford Dealership Botched My Oil Change – Replacing the Engine Block to Make It Right

    The amount of time (cost) it would take to replace the block only, it doesn't really make sense to not just order a new engine on the crate in general and put it in. Why ingest the labor causes to (1) remove the old, (2) carefully dismantle the old, (3) carefully reassemble the old/new, (4)...
  19. [EDIT:] Ford won't reimburse me for my recalled rear shocks.

    Exactly this! Wasn’t there a thread on here just recently of someone doing this and Ford agreed to reimburse them for it? I know I saw it recently (last week)…
