Your situation at the post office is pretty much the same conditions. I agree about not responding well to sudden changes in conditions. My profession involves writing software for controlling hardware. While not a car, there are always some transitional conditions like shifting gears in a...

Yes, a 2DR hard top. This involved a very definite rocking of the vehicle, which I can see being caused by something drive train-y, not what I would expect from a stress dent or panel giving but I should expand search outside the rear area.

I've had that happen a few times before without the other stuff and it seemed tame. Nothing like this.

Of course I didn't, but it sure felt like I got rear ended. The car behind me was easily 20ft away. No damage nor marks. Puzzling. So here are the details. I was at a stop sign of a T intersection. I let off the brake and gave gas to creep from the stop line up to where I could see...

I would not blindly transport a vehicle without being there first to inspect and check for major gaffs before taking delivery. Too much chance for a bang in transport or some extra item inside go missing and then who do you go after, dealer, transport company. To me that means flying out to...

Yep, still under warranty but it is so hard when you hear it and they can't, deny that they hear it or claim normal. Next dealer is about an hour away and will be warmed up and no be doing it unless I drop it off one night and come back the next morning to demonstrate has some major logistical...

Agreed, it wouldn't do that. My specific concern at the moment is if needed to adjust timing. Right now I have an issue that sounds like timing is getting too far advanced. Like maybe some cal is wrong or sensor not working.

Thanks for the summary. A VCM Lite would be within my budget if it adds sufficient value over Forscan. At the moment I am bothered by the sound my one Bronco engine makes. One that I've heard before on older much simpler vehicles when I've advanced the timing too far. So I believe it is...

If installing a patch is necessary, what is the tool or is that a dealer only operation? I have OBD2 interfaces that should let me see/reset codes, look at some data points, but not sure how comprehensive the tools I have now, but they were sufficient for my needs prior to the Bronco. I would...

These two are great suggestions

What is TOB? By cold I mean the engine has not reached operating temperature after sitting overnight or after 4 hours sitting before my lunch break. As far as ambient air, it can be 75 or 80 degrees in the morning or lunchtime when I start the engine. Probably even 90 degrees out. It is a...

Simple question, to do my own work on my Broncos, what are the essential tools I should get? Not the basic mechanical tools, the more specialized ones I need to work on this new-fangled thing that is ruled by chips that think they are smarter than I am. I've been doing almost all the work on...

The problem is capturing the sound in a way where it can be heard as there are louder sounds that always seem to mask it in the recording. The sound is most definitely not trans/synchro in my case. As I said in the OP I've heard this before. Never had anyone tell me it was engine knock or...

I wanted to think you for the M1-209A suggestion. It fits real nice with plenty of space for an end cap type socket wrench and the extra few inches of length makes it easier to reach from either underneath or thru the wheel well.

You get any info? I made an appointment, got the service manager to ride with me so I could demonstrate. At first he said he didn't hear and then claimed he heard it but that it was "normal". Not really happy with that, but no point leaving it with them if they think it is "normal". I...

Congrats on getting good warranty service. I presume this was a MIC 2.0 top, not one of the early MIC tops which had all sorts of problems? Given the delay on 2DR orders because of the MIC top, curious how long it took to get a replacement top?

For some reason that location looks really odd to me, but if I were in the OPs situation and didn't want holes I would go for it. By the way do you happen to know if there are any differences between the base bumper and the capable bumper other than fog lights? They look the same in the...

I love the Race Red and think it is the most under-appreciated color. I should update my profile pic now that I have my Race Red Black Diamond. Did you paint the door (and tailgate) handles, or did they come that way? On my Black Diamond it is black.

Welcome. And once again I got fooled by the advert that is always at the bottom of the first post in a thread and thought you were showing us a photo of your Jeep here.... but it was just a Jeep ad.

In my opinion you gotta go the other direction as a check. A small slope that can help a whole lot is visibly unnoticeable. I don't trust the car's reading, but you said you compared to actual, so I suppose what you did was compare the average MPG the car computes verse miles achieved over...
