I hope it fixes my Expedition problem. You can't even use the phone with CarPlay. What a mess

Good tip on renaming the phone. I will try that. Wildtrac24 - is that update a dealer only update or will it come OTA?

I would love to blame Ford as their technology issues really piss me off, but I do think my recent issues are phone related. I always keep the latest phone updates installed. I don't use VPN's. They seem to cause too many problems. I deleted the phone on my F150 and reinstalled the phone...

I have an 25 Expedition, 23 Bronco, and 21 F150. CarPlay audio quality on Expedition is messed up, but it does connect. But all of a sudden, my Bronco and F150 will NOT connect to CarPlay. I got the Bronco to force connect yesterday after power cycling my phone. I didn't drive the F150 for...

I did not pull those fuses. There is some debate on this in the Bronco flat tow group on Facebook. I get the "check your brakes" popup message so in my case I know it is disconnecting the brakes from functioning and the owners manual for my year does not say to pull fuses. The 25's seem to be...

Yep, I knew that one would work. I just don't think I want to do that install on a 2.7L. Gotta believe it would mess up a bit of warranty and too many modifications for myself. I previously installed the RC hidden on 2.3L and it was a very clean install.

I have a BlueOx flat tow setup that I do not want to change. The flat tow adapters are in the place of the front tow hooks. Are there any recent options for a winch mount that works with this type of setup? I think the RC high bumper winch mount will work, but I was looking for other options.

Here was one reflection I had after all the cycles. I was actually impressed that the bronco flat tow controls were pretty dummy proof (me). For example, I keep shifting to D instead of N. The system kept fussing at me and it wouldn't let me progress.

LOL. I am doing the list. Works for me. I just thought it would be good to send the success. There is so much negative information on this, I just wanted to share my story. It sure does seem like it was an early model software issue that may be corrected now.

I just did my first long trip and this is normal. I have close to full skids so it confuses me some if it is grime, but it does happen. My wrangler (previous towd) did not do this nearly as bad as the bronco. I have attributed it to the hotter burning turbo based engine. If it truly is...

I have a 23 Wildtrak with an Air Force 1 braking system. I also had a charge line installed. I recently went on a 1,200 mile trip with 12 cycles in and out of flat tow mode. I feel bad for those that have had issues, but my experience was flawless. I did use a checklist and take my time to...

Well, I want them to be as short as possible. I guess that is a reason to use extenders. I could take them off. But I am more worried about stem failure when on the highway due to the weight of the sensors hanging off an extended stem.

I know you can add different stems to the Ford TPMS sensors, but I am not sure what the options might be. So I am currently using valve stem extenders to get the ridiculously short Bronco stems. I have to do this to get external TPMS sensors that integrate into the RV display system. I have...

We have a mountain pass by our home that is a very steep 8% grade. Every EcoBoost we have owned smells like hot brakes coming up and going down. Always been that way. I have been monitoring my odor and while it is significantly better, it still smells hot. I think some of that is just normal...

Yea, same here. I remember no smell on my wrangler at all, that is why I had to post and ask the question. Of course the wrangler didn't have turbos and some of the heat sources that the bronco has. I would think the 2.7 would be worse than the 2.4 due to more turbo heat. I ran it through...

Thanks everyone. Glad to hear I don't have another problem to deal with. I can run it through a car wash today with a bottom washer and then just let the rest burn off.

I wondered about that. The engine looks dirty. Dirt or solids all over the engine. Would make sense that it is burning off. I used to tow a wrangler and never had that happen before, but the aerodynamics might be different on the bronco.

Had something interesting happen this morning. We went on about a 30 mile in town drive. Engine and tranny temps normal on gauges, but when we got back to the RV the engine area smelled really hot. This was an all in town drive. Speeds 25-35 mph. But a lot of braking. We have had these...

Fixed that formatting problem.

Let me post a copy in PDF format. The first one is a word document so if you don't have word it won't pull up right. Let me know if this one doesn't work.
