Dealership is not your local boutique pro shop. They set to do the same thing over and over again in the shortest possible time. If your aftermarket parts are in the way of getting your “free” service, it’s a big hassle, and likely done by a person who never read your w aftermarket parts...
Removed mine after 2 months. Just too loud for me. Went back to the OE. Might try a different one down the road. If anyone in SoCal is looking for a half off one, hit me up.
I tried to get one awhile back, took them couple months to get me a price, and when I asked for installation instructions they went silent and never heard back. I might try again at some point.
Just under 30k miles: Transfer case and its sensors, wiring harness, hard top, manual transmission repair for noise, engine seals for oil leaks, currently waiting for camera recall.
I'm pretty sure all the repairs are more expensive than what I actually paid for the car new. The good news is...
To be honest It's the least reliable car I ever had, but the dealer service is great and when it's not broken I love it. There are only 2 more options for a 4x4 manual, Wrangler, and Tacoma. The 1st one I NO for many reasons, and the Tacoma is just too boring to make the switch. My buddy got a...
At $31k I paid for it new in 2022, I always considered it as a NOS 90s SUV with a modern engine. Fit and finish just like my 92 Miata, and I love it that way, as I don’t need to baby it. I don’t know what people are doing with their tops, but I pressure wash it every couple months and it’s fine...
When you see something that you love , you better get it. I did it with my 2022 2dr Manual, cloth seats. The only way to convince me to get a new one is a V6/8 manual, which sadly won’t happen.
Absolutely. I had 70% on my windshield, but decided to favor night drive visibility over cooling when I replaced the windshield. My from windows got 50% and the rear 3 got 10%. Best investment if you live in a sunny climate (SoCal here).
Got Bilstein in my 3000lb Lotus, while handling is awesome. The rear shocks leaked out at 50k miles and the front at 70k. Got think I can still find a cheap newish take off for replacement, but I’d never buy one at retail price. My Bronco got the cheap Hitachi, but they seem to be reliable, when...
Rarely use the 6th, only when over 75 , flat or downhill and no traffic. It doesn’t have enough torque to deal with a speed change and dealing with the high wind resistance.
Same report as the one that showed bad safety? I’ve never heard anything real about it. 14k miles, heavy foot, 340bhp with the ProCal, manual and no problems whatsoever. Maybe I’ve got to go another thousand miles before the explosion, but I’m pretty sure it will do just fine. BTW the EcoBoost...
What value? It’s not a stock market. I bought what I like, and enjoy my like with it. My 2 doors Manual is still more expensive than what I paid in 2022, but I can’t go with it to the supermarket. Just buy what you want / need and be happy. Life is too short.
I know how you feel. My Bronco Base Manual was 2 months in for Transfer case and module, and entire wiring harness. The dealer begged me to lemon it so they won’t have to deal with it anymore, but they couldn’t promise a manual delivery even in 2025. Got it a month ago and so far it’s good. As...
