That's also going to be getting the PPE pan so I can do incremental fluid changes. So dumb. I've been driving MTs for the last 15 years and it's just so easy to change the trans fluid. I forgot how insane it is to change an AT's fluid. JR

I'll grab it for the new drain and fill. I'm going to do a replacement diff cover at the same time to get the drain plug. Dumb that Ford didn't give a drain plug on the rear diff. JR

It was going to be $60 for three quarts of the flex bags or $65 for a gallon in a jug, so I bought the gallon. Not sure I'd do that again. I had read the flex bags are a pain to deal with, as well. JR

Thanks, it did. For my Mustang, I just run the BG fluids that Optimum Performance sells on their website. Expensive, but really good, and I don't need to think about what I'm putting in. I just swapped the fluids in the diffs and transfer case. All looked surprisingly good for 53k miles, and...

I'm in the middle of analysis paralysis regarding what fluids to use for the front and rear diffs. Admittedly, I went way too long before I changed the diff fluids and am currently at 53k miles. For reference, my Mustang GT has had two diff fluid changes after the factory fill and I'm at just...

I didn't, but it's unlocked all doors since I bought the vehicle 3.5 years ago. I can't imagine it would have suddenly changed. I just put the doors back on today and will check. JR

And yesterday evening, when I went to take my son to Scouts, the chime was normal again. I reseated the door to body connection after hearing the normal chime, so that wasn't the issue. The door handle is still only unlocking one door. So weird. JR

I am. It's 3.5 years old, and I have experienced the similar weirdness when the battery in my Mustang starts to go out. I haven't seen any indications that the battery is losing steam, but in my experience, 3 years is about it for an OEM battery. I didn't get a second today to pull the negative...

This is a very new problem, and I haven't been able to find anything about it on here. Yesterday, when I put my hand on the inside of the driver's front door handle, with the key fob in my pocket, it unlocked the door, as usually. I noticed that it did NOT unlock the rear doors, rear swing...

It'll probably be about half the cost of new rotors to get them turned. I have a second vehicle and can just run them to the shop I've used before, grab lunch, then pick up. Work will be done by me, so cost of labor is less of a factor. JR

I don't want anyone to think I'm trying to cheap out here, just trying to compile information so I can make an informed decision. I can easily pay the $425 for replacement rotors and pads, I just don't want to. The Bronco is my daily and isn't some passion project for me, but obviously I need a...

I have their drilled and slotted rotors on my Mustang. Not sure if it's worth it on the Bronco. What are your thoughts? JR

Yeah, this is the plan. I need to do a tire rotation this weekend, anyway, so I'll check thickness. I would expect at least two sets of pads per rotor, but I hear the 2.7L vehicles tend to wear rear brakes relatively quickly. There are two kits available, one with drilled and slotted rotors...

I do not. I've done quite a bit of muddy road stuff, but there aren't any hills or rocks around where I live to climb or descend. If pads made it 50k and rotors are still good, I'd rather replace pads twice than pads and rotors twice. If I'm debating between spending an additional $300 on...

Hey all, I'm at 52k miles on my Wildtrak, and I'm starting to hear the passenger rear brakes singing, like it's time for a pad replacement. On my Mustang, I'd always replace rotors at the same time as pads, but I'd expect rotors to last a lot longer on a truck/SUV than on a sports car. For...

My ex-wife just bought a 440i with the M-sport package in Brooklyn Gray. It's gorgeous from all angles UNTIL you see the front end. I have no idea who decided it was a good idea to make those enormous dragon nose grill openings. JR

I originally purchased it for flexibility along with the OEM hard top. I intended on using the hard top for summer (insulation from hot weather) and the soft top during our winter, but after having the Bestop on, I just never went back to the hard top. The flexibility of flipping the top back...

South Carolina Bestop Trektop owner. Sold my hard top after using it for a week and will not go back. I love my Trektop! JR

I've had an issue for quite some time on my 4D Wildtrak where letting off the brake from a stop results in a shifting feeling and a clunk from what I believed to be the front end. I had brought it to the attention of my dealer a few months ago when they were fixing another issue, but they said...

I'll call them today! Thanks! I don't know if the Ford reps are still on this forum, but why aren't service reps trained on this process? Rhetorical. JR
