Thanks. There are two reasons I'm putting this out there: 1) I've had a few hairy experiences on-road while turning on slick roadways. No other vehicle I've driven, including powerful rear-wheel cars (69 Firebird, manual tranny with RAM Air III 400 motor), has ever slid around like this one...

I've read through dozens of threads where limited slip differentials are discussed and recommended. Has anyone with a Base/BB installed one? My setup is a BB 4-cylinder Auto with stock 3.73 gears and 35" BFG ATs. The goal is to improve on-road safety and provide better support for "stuck"...

Thanks. The dealer in my area is not easy to engage. Want to make sure it's really worth it before attempting. May consider looking farther from home. And yes, I agree, this machine has been amazing. Early on, I did have an issue with a loud "clunk" on abrupt stops, happened twice, now I'm...

Adding to this: since this post, I've received two more "Tire Pressure Sensor Failure Alerts." The Ford App registered these alerts with a service recommendation. However, right now, the Ford App shows Vehicle Health as "Good" and displays the Tire Pressure illustration with "No Active Alerts."...

2023 BB has been running perfectly since purchase. Computer has been totally reliable. Last week, began getting software update requests from the computer. With some reluctance, I scheduled the update. In the past two days, 1) CarPlay has failed to launch once -- but the computer did see my...

It's not really my style to gush about a vehicle. But I gotta say, over one year in and still loving it. Recently for ten days, I was compelled to drive my wife's Volvo XC40, a nice R-Design with a PoleStar boost. For what it is -- a unibody crossover compromise with 8" of ground clearance --...

I’m guessing the Ford Perf Tune keeps the revs higher? If so, based on other comments, this by itself could improve the longevity and reduce the chance of long-term engine trouble. Any expert out there agree with this theory? alternatively, using Forscan to set Sport Mode as default could have...

OK, thanks. I was glad to get rid of that BMW with its high maintenance costs. Turns out, I bought another one! Bronc has 7K miles and already two oil changes. So I’ll sit with the current oil until 12K. That said, the $200 oil changes on the Bimmer did not stop the valves from spotting up.

I'm running the Ford recommended oil per the manual. My (expensive) mechanic is very careful about that.

I emailed my Ford dealer about using a catch can last year, a few months after I bought it. They did not reply to my email.

My Big Bend is an all-stock power train 2.3L. Around here, 93 is $1 more per gallon, so I've been glad to have the option to run 87. I've been going back and forth between 87 and 93. Recently I ran 87 for 2 - 3 months, drained the tank, and then filled it with 93. Performance difference is...

Very helpful, thanks to all.

Setup: 2023 Big Bend, 2-door, 2.3L, automatic trans, stock 3.73 gears. No rear locker. 6-year 60K Ford warranty as I intend to keep this for a long time. Dealer customized before purchase: "cheap lift" (I'm pretty sure a Rough Country, trying to get this verified), Mickey Thompson wheels, 35"...

2 Dr -- mods include cheap lift (by dealer), Mickey Thompson mags, BFG A/T 35s, Besttop Sunrider, rust-proofed underneath, 8" Kicker subwoofer with bass dial, Infinitis in dash and rear pods. The BF A/Ts are fantastic on the highway, no noise, but not great at beginning of rainfall in 2R, so...

Recommend you rust-proof the frame. Northeast winters are hard on unprotected steel. Bit this bullet last October.

Got it, I understand now. Thanks. Clear now, thanks. OK, understood. OK. Right on. If necessary, I will pay a premium (as long as it is reasonable) for vendors like Crutchfield. In my case, across two purchases, the salesman spent 1.5 hours on the phone. Sweetwater is similar in my...

Thank you! My responses and questions in indents below. >>If you seal the port on the back of the enclosure, the bass will tighten up considerably. OK, thanks! When you say "port on the back of the enclosure," I'm not sure what you mean. My Kicker Sub and Key Amp are housed in the factory...

I know this subject has been hounded nearly to death. But I'm posting my experience and questions anyway. Might help someone else. I do not work for Kicker nor Inifinity nor Crutchfield and I receive no form of compensation from anyone for this post. I do not think of myself as an audiophile. I...

Thanks guys.

I've researched a bit. It feels like tranny to me, but might be this issue. https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/noticable-slight-clunk-when-releasing-the-break-after-stopping.72699/
