if mine goes down I'll seriously consider it, especially if the lead time for a new engine is long. details to work out though.

Correct. And either they start talking soon or some independent work needs to be done. I hang out all day with people that do failure analyses, FMECAs, root cause, etc. The mechanical and materials science part doesn’t sound like it will be too difficult. It’s being able to do it without costing...

someone joked about a dropped valve in the responses. maybe it didn't drop yet but is struggling. would be worthwhile to have them all checked considering: https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/2-7l-blown-engine-fail-list-28-so-far-jan-19-update.31951/ If you do have a faulty valve or other...

Someone was reporting really bad gas mileage on here...lemme see if I can find that thread, wonder if related to valve issue but the thing is hanging on for dear life. could be interesting to get ahold of that set of valves . EDIT...

Ah shit

maybe related to projected interest rates? I was watching early this morning and things were down across the board. I've been scanning the ol' interweb for any other mentions of the 2.7L failures but haven't seen anything outside the forums yet.

Close. $7.95 for 3 large items, including a safari bar.

I was able to place my order through accessories.ford.com once I got the account set up. And get the 15%. My dealer makes everything seem like rocket science so I wanted to do it without their involvement.

Just wanted to post this to save people some time if they encounter the same problems as I did. Was trying to access the FORD15 discount (15%) which you cannot get unless you have an accessories.ford.com account. This, despite the fact you can navigate from your ford.com account to the store...

Yep. I have 2,000 miles on mine, picked it up Dec 2nd. If my interpretation of the data was that I was in peril or putting putting my family at undue risk, then I'd stop driving it or modify trip plans as people are discussing. But everyone is going to do their own analysis on the same data set...

I'm not going to disagree with you. I just don't know what that means for them legally and that's what I think it boils down to. "Ford" means "Ford's lawyers" here. One wildcard for me, how does Ford view an engine that just shuts off in terms of risk to the driver? A cracked catalytic converter...

I may be in the minority here but I absolutely do not think Ford is ignoring any aspect of this. This is a marquee product and launch. There's probably a large team on this, reporting right up to the CEO. There are probably more internal reports and paperwork than we could ever imagine. Likely...

thanks for posting. tried to get a paint pen from my dealer and the parts department "couldn't find it in the system." guy looked like he had a rough night, but I was surprised since my color is also a bronco sport color. you'd think they'd have that off the shelf or available quickly.

Cool. If you have any pictures and keep us posted on your project it would be very helpful! The pre-cuts I assume are the ones from the kit on the ford website?

I'm planning the same project. Just sourced some 3M film on amazon, it's pretty cheap for the coverage you get. out of curiosity, what areas have you decided to cover? I was waiting to get some more data on paint chip patterns, but seems to vary based on tires, flares, etc. I'm going to start...

you got yours already?!!

nice, will get one tacked onto my winch plate order

100% agreed. Bronco owners, and to-be owners, are on a continuum from annoyed to pissed. We all want to have our trucks how we imagined them, you know, working parts and all. Repeating what I said in Teaser #1, I'm not going to take out my frustrations on any after market vendors - quite the...

Kinda goes back to my point earlier and if this redesign is true, I’d gamble that there is more than one variable. Ford only knows, but for some reason the early failures are coming in specific date ranges (achieved the tipping point somehow) but that doesn’t mean other engines aren’t at some...

Looked into my rattles today a bit. My initial thoughts: - It's a pipe dream to think a subwoofer inside that cheap ass plastic panel is not going to rattle. I found about three spots, included the one noted previously, that have 0 chance NOT to rattle. - I'm not an audio installer, but I...
