I wonder if they are finished tuning those shocks, or do they need another session. I have to admit, as good a job as I bet the Bilsteins do, I'm going to want those internal bypass Kings! 😁 Leave it stock and enjoy....buy the Kings.....leave it stock it will do well.......buy the Kings...

If customers banded together we could affect change? Clueless. Ok, we'll all cancel our orders.......you first. No wait, I actually want my Bronco and I'll pay what it costs. Interestingly, pretty much everything I have I paid whatever it cost. Thing is, the only power you have over the...

We're here for ya bro'. 🥰

No shit! I grew up in the wrong generation. We expected nothing, and yet have everything we want. We didn't expect to live in a perfect world, and no one owed us anything if things didn't go perfectly. Now, if people don't have a perfect experience they should be reimbursed for it. Dude, you...

Good question. It appears that these extra braces are only on the 2.7.

Those are rear lower control arms/rear axle lower links. We're talking about the angled braces that run forward from the trans crossmember to the frame, that hang down a bit and got beat up. Only on the 2.7, they're not on the 2.3.

Ha! I'd cut it out, cut the brace off the crossmember, and cut the bracket off the frame. Take a section of 3/16 boxed tubing and weld it to the front edge/side of the crossmember, weld a new bracket on the inside of the frame, and bolt that end to the frame. Basically the same as it is now...

I get that. No where have I said go to a qwiky lube. Hey, if you gotta do it yourself, go for it.

It's bolted to the frame, but welded to the cross member/trans mount. 😊

It would be stronger and safer to fold it over. It would be a welded seam, either fully welded or spot welded, and you wouldn't want to trim back to the weld or it will break. Or, like someone said, lay a piece of metal in the recess and weld it in.

You have to be able to get to the winch release handle to free spool. Is that the 4600 Bronco? Very likely they are using a Gigglepin winch, from Europe, that has a VERY fast spool speed, and a solenoid controlled free spool, so no need to get to the winch. I like that, still waiting to see that...

Does it take that long to drain if the motor is hot? Most people who do it themselves do it cold. What about other vehicles that have the same 2.7? Hmm....something to check out.

Modern cars have thermostats that are 195-200. Aux fans come on around 212-215. Like has been said, to get emissions and fuel economy modern engines run hotter. Watch it, but I wouldn't be concerned.

Why go to the dealer and drop it off for an oil change? Full disclosure here, I own an independent auto repair shop and we do a ton of oil changes for our customers. We also check the car over every time it's there, and check for factory service intervals. Someone needs to be checking the...

Don't know if this has been answered yet or not, have not read this whole thread. The rust spots are what we called environmental fallout. It is minor rust particles from shipping on the train, etc. The dealership detail department knows what to do about it. Really, should have been handled...

What's wrong with just pulling the plug? I'm going to be a wise ass here, so forewarned. Your time must not be worth much. By the time you buy the oil and filter, drain the oil, replace the filter, contain the old oil and drive it to the parts house to dispose of it, then stash your receipt for...

That thing is fugly.

You must be this ___ tall to ride? 😁 We had a sticker with that, and a line, on our desert car, because we had a very short friend who was involved in the team. Gotta have fun with folks.

You could put more air in the front tires, and let a little out in the rear, until you haul something. :unsure: ;):p

Exactly. Trucks are a touch higher in the rear for a reason, so they can level out when loaded, or have a trailer on the back. I get wanting the look, but should only be done depending on how the truck will be used.
