When I took the Bronco in, I told them, “It sounds bad, it smells bad, please fix it.” The tech said, “Let’s do the service bulletin repair and go from there.” Unfortunately the smell was there before I took it in, so it wasn’t something they did. The gravelly grinding noise is gone, so that’s...
Great suggestion, in fact that was similar to my "thought of the day" a few days ago. I did a casual visual inspection, but I didn't think to check for heat, I will do that. My thought at the time was maybe the "hill start assist" was thinking I was on a hill and it was assisting by engaging...
Fixed my noise so far, I'd do it. Be prepared to be without your vehicle, tho. That's the only reason I would hesitate. I was without my Bronco for 1 month! Also no loaner vehicle the whole time, so I paid for one month of owning a new Bronco and didn't have anything to drive. "No cars...
Thanks for posting this Brian. I'm looking for snow/ice tires for next season. I have not been impressed with the KO2s. I think BFG just slapped the mountain snowflake on there and hoped no one would notice they suck in snow. Maybe they are good in deep powder snow bashing, I haven't done...
This info ended up being more helpful than I expected, thanks. I still haven't gotten the code, but it did lead me to another post about someone with worn clutch issues at low mileage.
I drove up the canyon again yesterday and tried to be as observant as possible. I did the smell test in the...
Excellent question! I need to elaborate about the smell a little more to clarify. I have a soft top. Here are the stages of the burning smell:
1. in the cabin through the vents: "Is that me? Or am I driving behind someone with issues?"
2. roll down the window: "Oh, yeah, that's definitely...
Interesting, thanks, I'll keep an eye out for that. No codes so far, just the burning clutch smell. I googled that code, the only thing I can find is related to a "fuel composition sensor." Would a slipping clutch trigger that?
So, for discussion purposes, let’s pretend I don’t suck at driving a stick shift. Every other post about clutch issues seems to spend a lot of time focusing on how the OP probably doesn’t know how to drive a manual transmission lol.
Here is my situation: I’ve got a 2022 Badlands 7 speed 4...
