Don't you people document your purchases? I keep an electronic PDF copy of what I purchase, and with important purchases, I keep an electronic copy of the credit card statement showing the charge so I know the charge date and statement date. If Ford won't reimburse the deposit, then enter a...
Had a 1991 Explorer that had a Mazda manual transmission that had a bad synchronizer. It took nearly four weeks to get the part. Parts problems happen, how you handle the problem is up to you. Getting bent out of shape only aggravates you, but apparently, you like that...
If you had the Bronco transmission in gear, why didn't you simply let the clutch out? The vehicle should have been stopped by the engine being stopped. I understand there was a lot going on in a short period of time, but I've had the same type of situation in a 1971 Bronco and stopped the...
If you paid with a credit card, call the credit card company and enter a dispute for the transaction. The money will be credited back to your account. Then go to your local Ford dealer and order the part from the parts department. When it comes in, open the box at the parts counter and...
I had an update problem with Sync in my F350. I called the Sync help number and got a person who knew exactly what the problem was and how to fix it. He talked me through the entire process of resetting the system and loading the update. He was willing to stay on the line with me until the...
That's not "heavy damage." Heavy damage is ruining a body panel. What options do you think you have? You can let the dealership fix it or, take it to an independent body shop. This is an insurance claim, either YOUR insurance or the dealer's. The dealer would rather have their body shop...
The restomod is too undefined. The original Bronco did not have power steering or power brakes. It also had very poor sound deading and no insulation. It had no air conditioning other than opening the windows. The heater could barely keep up with cold temperatures and condensation and ice...
He didn't say the UAW is at fault. He alluded to the idea that the prices are only going to go higher because the labor cost will be going up. Ford has been increasing prices in reaction to increased materials costs. If you have noticed, the price of eggs has gone up and the chickens are...
I like the tie-downs. Wish I had them on the 1971 Bronco I owned. That one took a hit from a canoe tied down on the roof when one of the front tie-downs came loose from the bumper. But, never lose the chance to complain about something new on the Internet...
Yes...it's a huge plot against you. The dealer had nothing better to do and said, "Hey, let's eff around with this guy." So, you're the designated victim, there's no doubt about it because no one ever makes mistakes...
Your pressure side hose fittings are leaking. The unit is losing pressure so it is short cycling to keep the pressure in the hose constant. Stop the leaks and the unit will stop short cycling.
Another suggestion is to buy the Ford Performance Bronco Calibration tool ( M-9603-B27 ) and install the performance tune. Gives the vehicle more horsepower, changes the shift points on the transmission, and the vehicle will stay in the last setting for auto start/stop when turned off. If...
I deal with three Ford dealers. None of them will take a car in until they have the parts and service time slot available for a warranty repair. In one case, a dealer sent their mobile service truck to my house and made the repair so I did not have to take the truck to the dealership...
"Aluminum has more tensile strength..."
I don't think you know what tensile strength means. The tensile strength of aluminum starts at 40,000 psi. Steel tensile strength starts at about 70,000 psi.
The Ford online order tracker showed the truck built on 8-11-23. The truck was in Albuquerque on 9-5-23 and delivered to the dealer on 9-6-2023. The online Ford order tracker was not accurate for shipping as it never showed the truck being shipped.
The tracker was updated from built to...
