rockauto for Motorcraft filters and WalMart for Mobil 1 in 12 quart box.

DIY is the only way to consistently ensure it is done correctly.

Here is my ‘23 Black Diamond with 17x9 +35 with BFG 285/70/17. 1.5 inch lift with Bilstein 5100s. Much better ride and handling with the 5100s.

Those look nice. I would buy a set for sure. May or may not install on the Bronco.

The engine doesn't differentiate between the starter rotating the oil pump, or the combustion cycle.

Good write-up. I installed a PPE pan on my '23 when nearly new. PPE transmission pan installation I change the fluid about every 10K. I drain, measure, and refill with the same quantity. I order the Motorcraft ULV online. It's cheap insurance for me.

Another reason for DIY. This also allows a thorough brake and suspension inspection during each rotation.

894 miles. I live in Houston and purchased from a dealer in Jacksonville, FL in Nov. ‘22. They had what I wanted with no dealer markup.

Mobil 1 12 qt box is $60 at Walmart.

None on my ‘23 2-door. 29k miles 50/50 stored inside and out. Routinely remove the hardtop. If it cracks I’ll Line-X it and carry on.

Not sure why you’re upset with Ford. There wasn’t an issue until the stock exhaust was removed. No turbo V6 is going to sound good with an aftermarket exhaust system in my opinion. There no significant performance gain from a cat-back system either. Put the stock system back on a consider...

In my opinion no amount of protection from the bug deflector is greater than the ugliness they cause. :wink: I don’t have any paint chips after 3 years and 28k.

Exhaust drone is the effect of replacing the stock exhaust on any Bronco.

I'm currently running three sets of KO2s on a Bronco, F150, and Tundra. All different sizes and no balance issue at all. I've owned several BFGs over the last 35 plus years with no issues. Finding a shop that knows what they're doing is the key.

Please objectively define what exactly you mean by "harder on the engine".

Thanks for sharing, and kudos for the DIY effort. Many would say that's why you should always trust the professionals only. I would use this as an opportunity to learn and move on. Hopefully the dealer will be able to salvage the caliper so it's not too tough a lesson. Incidentally, I've been...

My Bronco is my 4th Ford with a keypad. I’ve never had an issue with any of them. It’s one of the best, but most understood features Ford offered.
