I don't believe a production vehicle with a solid front axle has ever used any design other then a recirculating ball...AI says that while rack and pinion is theoretically possible for a solid axle, it is impractical in a production vehical. Getting a rack and pinion steering system is a...

_ Watching the video @Desmolicious posted, is that lane keep assist as sketch as the reviewer took it,I suspect he is right, what a weird way to implement it (with rear brakes)... If it is, do you bother to turn it off every drive or have you learned to live with it?. - How much do you...

An opportunity to work on 'target focus' a'la Ben Stoeger :wink:

Why? Honest question. I suspect the reason is since the camera is used for collision avoidance, it still needs to be pointing (via software) in the right direction if you don't want the system to work worse then it already does. For my use case however, even this is not a good reason as I...

Ridiculous. I'm with you, I like the idea of the Grenadier, but bullshite like this makes it a complete no-go...

GTFO! Seriously, there really is no way to reset oil change light beyond a dealer - no Forscan ODB equivalent a person can use?? If this is true it is my honest hope, and sincere prayer, that the the Ineos is an abject failure...though that is unlikely as even in failure these sorts of...

Thanks for the replies guys. I assumed the process of re-calibration involved a board with a pattern put in-front of the vehicle, but it apparently it involves an ODB interface tool (Forscan has it) and a 10 minute drive...

Need to replace my windshield as I have star right in my line of sight newly formed last week. Visited a couple of shops this morning, both insist on camera recalibration for about $200. Thing is I had the windshield replaced once by a guy doing work "on the side" once already with no re...

Yikes, that sentence describes mine as well (well, 48k miles and MT). Like Brian says, hopefully just a Friday build. Both camshafts?! Since they could not come out of the same cast (assuming they are cast- AI says so) because one is for intake and other for exhaust, it really makes me wonder...

The signal to noise ratio here has never been that good - it is better then other forums of course. Without a thumbs down or "misinformation" rating, other posters can not indicate when someone is full of bullshite. The admins/owners here are not incentivized either, so threads just end up...

It's the wire harness recall, forget the official name but you should be able to search this site with "wire harness recall" I would think

I think that is it. Would 75-85 be good enough if after it breaks down after high temperature excursions (from towing, heavy off-road use, etc.) you change it out? Probably... Does 75w-140 give you an extra bit of headroom and less concern with hard use in exchange for perhaps a 1/10 less...

This sounds right to me - the clanging of the springs running out of travel. I wonder what it would be like without that play in the drive-line with a traditional single mass flywheel from the aftermarket? What would be chances of breaking something in 4L...sorry off topic

This is right however I would add the caveat that if a Sasquatch is a 10 on the NVH meter an Outer Banks is still an 8. The vast majority of the buying in public wants nothing more than a 3 or 4. This includes most bronco buyers, 85% of whom are looking at the bronco for aesthetics or the idea...

I wondered about this as well. The stock Sasquatch wheel offset is +30 if memory serves. Although the OP could consider mild spacers (rather then 10.5/11.5 tires) with his stock BB wheels… Edit. “…The Big Bend wheels are too narrow at 7.5" for a 315 or 12.5" tire….” ahhh, yea an 11.5 is...

^This^, or accept the limitations of the one-size-fits-all aftermarket - one that rarely discloses actual spring rates (though some sell regular and "heavy duty" options, sometimes recommending an over/under weight.). For all the talk about shocks, springs are what gives your subjective "ride"...

The car mags have never been all that good at evaluating off road vehicles/tech IMO, but they used to be more thorough: https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a73464614/1976-jeep-cj-5-and-cj-7-renegade-archive-test/

I suspect it does not require much more money/parts then the vehicle would already have for stability control, etc., and given the marketing angle they're well worth any extra expense for Ford. Like Brian I never use them, and almost everybody else I wheel with is in a Jeep or Toyota so I...

I wonder about this as well. Is the friction-clutch pack in the 4A case under any more stress or subject to more 'wear' then the friction-clutch packs in Ford's 10R60 transmission? Don't know the answer, but I suspect not. If so, then would that mean a similar change interval (depending on...

I had forgotten about that video, thanks for posting it. Among the take aways is how the Ford's AWD (aka "4A") system is "preemptive" - not reactive based on wheel speed sensors inferring "slippage" - and how there is no fuel mileage penalty engaging it...
