I've been to four so far and can't recommend one for anything outside of the box. The Steering rack install is easy. Getting it to talk to the car is the tricky part. Ford Performance has some capable engineers, but not enough to support the Dealer techs that need them to finish the install...
4 wheel still out and Bronco is at the fourth Dealer in San Diego. They're all thinking it has something to do with the steering rack or steering rack install. Yes, should be easy fix. Ford Performance says we should swap out the steering rack, but the phone goes dead when the issue of who's...
It gets better. After the 30 day install at the dealer, I went to the UBB event in Utah and on the first day my four wheel drive failed. Kept popping up disabled. Was done after the first day. Was pretty sure it was the SSM 51212 for 21-22 bronco with 2.7 drive train. Dealer installed the...
Let us know what you find out. Should be getting mine back from the dealer today. I'll try to find someplace close by to get one wheel off the ground and see if it throws the error.
Same exact story happened with my installation. Was on the phone with the same Tom for 29 days begging him to give the tech the secret download. My saga is posted.
Would installing ProCal have anything to do with this anomaly? I mean, why now. I have been wheeling about twice a month for the past 3 years and all of a sudden it happens when I'm between tumble down drop off and too steep to climb boulder garden. Any ideas?
That would explain why it works after a short drive and then poops out again. That's new to me. It says there is an software update. Thank you, I'll look into it.
Looking for some suggestions on next step to chase down a 4 wheel drive problem:
4 wheel drive becomes unavailable when either front or rear wheels start rotating at different speeds.
While climbing an obstacle, first front and rear lockers went out, then error “4 wheel drive temporarily...
Ken Gordy in Carlsbad finally got it done after a month on the rack. Went that direction because of the discount through Ford Performance. See my final thoughts above.
Yes, I've been on the phone to that number for 3 weeks. But today I got a new wrinkle.
I got connected through the Ford customer service line to Ford Performance and got another rep. And he said: The problem you're having is that all the engineers are out for Christmas because they will...
That's exactly what if feels like. You would think either the dealer or Ford Performance would identify that issue and advise. I may have to reluctantly take your advice.
Ken Grody Ford in Carlsbad. The Steering rack plus labor was around $2000. Ford performance offers a 50% off on labor with selected dealers. I thought that was reasonable. The Bronco has been sitting in their yard for 20 days and I wonder if they would take another steering rack. They're not...
Al: If the Procal installation was done out of sequence, is there a fix? Can the procal be uninstalled and then done right? The tech says he followed the correct sequence, but who knows.
