I've been posting off and on since I preordered on the first day Ford launched the Bronco. I pass along my experiences both pro and cons. Not everything is sunshine and lollipops. I had no intention to post here until this experience got me thinking. I decided to get a set of OEM brake pads...
Was reading up about the ins and outs of replacing the brakes on the Bronco. One of the topics was regarding that the brake maintenance mode must be enabled when working on the rear brakes due to the electronic parking brake the automatic Broncos use. I've had an issue with my parking brake...
They wanted to cancel the sale if I didn't submit it.
The price was quite good around $82 and $87 or so plus shipping so saved roughly 40 or 50 bucks compared to the hyperlinks people have posted from Ford.
There is a difference between being informed, researching and forming opinions based on recent and past experiences and being a conspiracy theorist or someone who believes they are so important. But I appreciate your inability to digest that.
Right to Repair is actually under attack by Ford and GM specifically. They recently lobbied to restrict the ability of the consumer to be entitled to fix their own purchased products.
Maybe this thread is not a good case study for that argument but it is fact that they want you and your local...
OK wasn't my experience as of late but I kind of do like knowing if I have a return or the wrong part arrived there is someone on the other side that can make it happen. I always preferred Summit for that reason alone.
yes they have policy that I wasn't made aware of until after the fact.
As for Rock Auto, go and try your luck with that one. Just pray you don't require any customer service!
Has anybody actually bought and received OEM Ford Motorcraft brake pads and not been required to provide the VIN of your Bronco?
It's a simple question? I get that people can find an item and load it into the cart. I did the same thing. I actually purchased the items. It was the day after...
Have you bought them? if not you don't know this for sure. Has anyone bought and received OEM pads and not been required to provide the VIN?
Also the pads I bought again are from a dealer in Kansas I think and are significantly cheaper than what the links from Ford led to.
Either way if...
Oh that's what I was trying to get to. Every time I added my vehicle it came upon with only 27 items available for the brakes and didn't include any brake pads. looks like it sends you to a ford dealership which is actually where I ended just a different dealer. I bet they'll still require...
You can't buy motorcraft pads for a Bronco at Autozone. I tried
Believe me I'm not just throwing out a conspiracy theory. I actually did the research and this is where I landed. It's not possible to buy Ford OEM parts, at least not the brake pads without going through the hoop.
I visited both stores in the search. I kind of wanted to just keep the stock pads because they're a known good option I think. Never much cared for alternate pads on other vehicles I've worked on.
Regarding the Fast Eddie question,
Short version
If you want to repair your own vehicle you...
