Thanks gents, I had the same hunch when I talked to their transmission engineer. Iāll contact them again, as last time was Summer last year, and put more pressure to have it diagnosed. If that doesnāt work Iāll reach out to another dealer.
Iāll report back whatever I find out!
You do realize it comes with two warranties right? Bumper to bumper (3y) and drivetrain (5y)ā¦.. Yes, Iām out of the 3y warranty like stated in my response.
My dealer doesn't want to look into it because they think if we start poking around we may create more problems than solve them. My bronco is still under the drivetrain warranty.
Iām fairly confident itās either the gearing or transfer case. Also thought it could be a loose driveshaft...
Iāve used it before in tight turns on shelf roads but only when really necessary. Never in an obstacle. Youāre putting a lot of pressure on components when using it, gotta be mindful about that.
Nice! Love your game changer series for the Jeep JL platform.
Would love to hear about wheel travel improvements, especially a back to back comparison of a Bronco Badlands with 35s and Game Changer vs a stock Badlands Sasquatch - both with sway disconnected.
Mine is called BRONChitis. Cuz itās a 2.3L. It doesnāt go faster than its friends 2.7 and 3L. Legend goes if you drive it with the windows down you can hear it wheezing.
Damn, thats a lot!! I discovered early on that what was killing the battery was the auto start/stop. I stopped getting dead batteries once I turned it off with my Tazer!
My dealer just completed service SSM 53981, and the difference in the front windows is night and day! I knew my windows were rattling, but I didn't realize how bad it was until I opened and closed the front doors after the service. No more rattles what an improvement! The tech who worked on my...
Haha Iām glad I didnāt come across as if I was pointing fingers or patronizing. Keep saving and investing. Itās the best advice I could give. Good luck with the Mrs.! (if I found my partner in crime ride or die, Iām sure yours is out there too!) cheers brother!
Glad to hear you and the dealer were able to reach a viable (though not perfect) resolution. And kudos to you for standing your ground. If we let companies walk all over us, we'd be left broke and frustrated. So if you have the time and energy, absolutely fight for whatās right.
Iāll echo what...
My entire crew drives JL/JT jeeps, Iām the black sheep that switched sides for the winning team š
We noticed that after the four/five year mark, most of these newer JL/JT models all start to have weird problems. Radio bricking, 4xe battery completely dead, MT transmission issues, transfer case...
Thatās so true. Used to have a lot of driverās fatigue with the jeep. Would usually get crushed and tired at the destination when roadtripping or going back home after a trail. With the Bronco now I have zero drivers fatigue.
Broncos are basically an SUV on steroids while Jeeps are more truck-like.
Haha thatās exactly why. And I love how resembles the OG broncos. I wish the grille was more flatten like the OG ones and less curved. But everything else is really spot on for me. Ford knocked out of the park with how classic yet modern it looks.
Also thereās different view modes to the...
You said I needed long arms for better ride quality but my original response says I had a Teraflex lift with all the best they could offer. So that includes long arms as well. Just clarifying that I had a good lift on the jeep and still personally think the Broncoās ride quality is better...
