Just in case someone else comes along to find this thread, Ducati is correct, mine is exactly like this. To clarify "left side", it is the driver's side of the transmission, arrow in the chart is pointing towards the front of the car. If you've never had it removed before, it may be worth...

Yea, I’ll pour and quickly look under to see if it’s flushing out. On my Bronco, it seems to be about 1/2 a quart before it turns the same color as the new going in. That said, there is no doubt that I’ve not gotten it all out every time in every car, the odds are definitely against that, yet...

Thanks, I do like to do this. Comes from the old tried and true farmers and their 30 year old equipment. They were known to use a little bit of kerosene in the oil before a change to clean up any varnishing inside the engine. I think this is the exact same philosophy. I don’t do it every time...

First, I am NOT advocating for anyone to do this. I am simply showing my results. I have been doing this for the last 20 years on my cars (95 LS400, 05 4Runner V8, 06 Mazda 3, 03 Lexus GS430, 07/13/15 GTI, 08 Volvo XC90 V8, 13 Highlander, 14 Mercedes E350, 14 Tiquan, 20 Mercedes GLS 450) and...

I agree MayhemMike, 100%! As someone who has owned two Toyotas and two Lexus's in the past, I will never buy another Lexus. Just too close to each other and have found better reliability in the more simpler form. Same with VW/Audi. Why would I spend $80k on an Audi Q7 when I can get a VW Atlas...

As an admitted Costco pavement cruiser myself with mine, I agree with the comments on price point for such a car, but also would love to see a Lincoln version of the Bronco too. Perhaps along side the Raptor. Want to spend $90k, then you can either have the pumped up Raptor, or the ultra...

My opinion - if the open air experience isn't at the very top of your list, then for your needs, I would say the F150 is probably the better pick. I say that, because the trade off for having a truck bed would be the removable top, but if that isn't a key element that attracts you to the Bronco...

As someone who changed the fluids in the differentials, transfer case, and transmission at 4k miles to get out the initial break-in materials, it is blatantly obvious to me that all fluids were set to the minimum….at best!

Not going to lie.....that, is awesome! I like the top, but I do wish Ford had a soft top option for the 2 door that allowed the rear to be squared off so when in safari mode you could have that canopy/tail hang over the cargo area too. 1st world problem though for me, I'd love to have this bronco!

I'm 51 and this Bronco was my 50th to myself. Timing lined up as such that I needed to replace a car to get ready for a 16 year old and was not going to give him my beloved 2014 Mercedes E350 as his first car, for many obvious reasons. So it became a 2014 VW Tiquan instead for him. When I went...

I walk in your shoes OP. My daughter (14) is non-verbal. I could say many wonderful things about you and your family, but I suspect you already know because you’re living proof of it all! My son (no autism) is in the midst of college applications and interviews. I engaged on one interview...

100% agree! First thing I do when I buy a car, new or used. I spend a weekend on a full clay bar detail, from the rims to the top of the antenna. Always feel I know every square inch of the car when I’m done, and bonds me to it. One wouldn’t think a brand new car would benefit much from a clay...

Not until Easter.... Then, it's on (or...well...OFF)!!

I think if they're going to do the V8, then they should probably do a redesign in general of the Bronco, perhaps a through back to the 1980's version now and move on from the 60's retro version. Thing about V8's, they add even more weight. Not sure if that is a good thing for a mid-sized frame...

No argument from me on your 2023 GTI experience. They lost me with this current MK8 version. VW is heading back those dark days of the late 90’s unfortunately in many regards, and became clear to me that they’re trying to push buyer into the more expensive cousins at Audi. But in all honesty, I...

I have to respectfully disagree on the VW, especially the GTI that OP had. I’ve had 4 of them over the years, all truly spectacular and as reliable as any Toyota product I’ve had before (95 LS400, 03 GS430, 05 V8 Runner, 13 Highlander). Never a problem from any of my GTI’s (87, 07, 13, 15)...

I'm not aware of any videos, other than one I found on YouTube for an F150. I'd search on there for PPE pan and see what you can find. Sorry I'm not much help. I have home made lifts that are 3 10x2's bolted together and cut 45 degrees on each side that plateau at the top. I drive up them then...

Exactly my thoughts too.... Dealership is basically writing down the depreciation hit themselves on the Raptor, which is totally fine for them to do so long as they're passing that along to you too, which not knowing true cost of the Raptor to the dealership, there is no way to really know for...

Loss of the aux switches and rear locker is a real loss for the OBX for those of us who don't want the Sasquatch. Is the modular steel bumper and bully bar now a dealer installed option, or just gone in general for the non-sas too? The body colored fender flares, door handles, mirror caps and...

Agree, but not wanting to forget that those wallets are the heart, soul, backbone and lifeblood of capitalism. We close those wallets, and even the giants will starve to death.
