  1. Flat Tow failure

    I never wanted to get a trailer for the reasons you and others state. I dolly towed a FWD car for a while without any weight issues and it was plenty safe as long as you are diligent about following the steps, checking things over and maintaining your bearings, tires and brakes. But hooking and...
  2. Runaway Engine

    Thanks, this is good to know. Since I was at our build site, I may have had some dirt or debris on my shoes that messed with the throttle. I’ve shop vac’d the area out really well and manually moved the pedal while sweeping and looking around in there. I’m hoping this is the end of it.

    None, my Bronco is as stock as they come.
  4. Runaway Engine

    It truly was an exception. I appreciate what you’re saying and I don’t typically do that. I’m building a new house and was meeting with my PM at the site. The house is framed up but still open to the elements. My wife was running late and while we were waiting, the temperature dropped and it...
  5. Runaway Engine

    No wrench light and OBD II showed no codes. Floor mats are locked in place and nowhere near the throttle so I’m not concerned there. I’ve been unable to duplicate it today, but flooring it in park showed the revs are limited at 4,400 well before the pedal reaching the floor, indicating what I...
  6. Runaway Engine

    At the time I didn’t although I sensed it come back up as I switched to the brake. I checked it when I got home and there were no obstructions (ie floor mat) and it traveled smoothly with nothing binding it up at all. At the time, the only change seems to be that I shut it off and let it sit for...
  7. Runaway Engine

    No check engine or any other dash indicators. FordPass doesn’t indicate any issues. I’ll plug in the OBD and see if it says anything.
  8. Runaway Engine

    Well I wouldn’t say I always start it and drive right away though I have sometimes. In this case it had been idling for about 10 minutes to warm it up because it’s below freezing and snowing. Then it was shut off for a few minutes before starting it up and driving it. I hope that it is not a...
  9. Runaway Engine

    Today I backed my 2022 Bronco out of the driveway and drove down the road about 1/2 mile. As I started braking for the stop sign, I noticed it was hard to slow it down and impossible to come to a complete stop. I threw it into neutral and the engine raced to 4400 rpms, holding steady there. I...
  10. FIXED!! Windows catching on weatherstripping when opening -- It's not what you think.

    I have the opposite problem, happens routinely on 3 out of four doors where the window doesn’t drop enough when opened and then gets caught outside of the track when closing. I’m worried that the window might break every time this happens.
  11. What’s it like to flat tow?

    I forgot to mention cost. For all of the equipment and installation, it came to ~$6100 with tax and everything. Braking system is the single highest cost out of all of the equipment at ~$1600.
  12. What’s it like to flat tow?

    Unfortunately yes. I don’t mind it though. You can see the plug for lights and the breakaway switch for the brake buddy full time. The base plate isn’t very visible without the pegs that you attach the tow to bar in place. With them in it looks like this: Hookup:
  13. What’s it like to flat tow?

    I just got my rig back yesterday and towed home. Like you, I have a 31' Class C with E450 and V10. Here are my findings. Background (skip if you just want to know about the flat towing, I'm just providing this for anyone who wants some contrast) I was using a dolly with surge brakes to tow a...
