I bought a bestop soft top and run it as a safari without the windows. Also bought a cover to thrown on it when I'm parking it for a while. Not the cheapest option but it ticked the boxes I needed for rainy New England this summer.
FYI, I had a similar situation. Badlands/manual/sas. Bronco was down for a month to replace the turbo. Got her back a few days ago and so far so good. In fact, it’s even more fun than I thought.
So annoyed, they’re telling me eta for the turbo is may 24th. I just want it fixed so I can install all the shit I have had delivered since it went down.
Same boat for me as well. Have a case number and there's nothing Ford can/will do. They're building turbos so they obviously exist, I just want the part. Maybe I should just lemon law it and buy a defender (but I have so many boxes of accessories to install in the garage lol). Really lame...
I got that weird whistling sound a few times before the lights came on. I almost thought it was a air leak in the hardtop but it never changed based on mph. Hopefully they have the turbo issue sorted as the miles I got with proper boost had plenty of oomph for me. Still very pleased with my...
Other than the sound, the warning lights. It shows up as reduced boost. I wasn’t able to get the turbo above 2lbs boost on my way to bring it back to the dealer. It’s a known issue at this point and the service department has been great. It sounds like just a bad batch of turbos (ford contracts...
They are replacing the turbo on my build. They say parts are 4-6 days out which is surprisingly ok. I’m fine with this as long as it fixes the issue long term. Interested to hear anyone else’s experience with the turbo getting swapped.
Happened to me yesterday around 60 miles in my 2.3 badlands manual sas. Very frustrating. The truck drives but at severely reduced power and the turbo barely engages. A real bummer as it was super fun before that!
FYI. Bronco has been delivered to the dealership. The ford tracker has update to "final preparation" . Ordertracker still shows "in transit". Heading to pick her up this afternoon! Have hope people!
