Ordered from a local dealer out of appreciation that they had a Manual on the lot that I could test drive. They quoted a good price and then when the car I’d been waiting for finally was built and sitting out front they tried to slam me with an extra $2000. I’m glad my wife was there because I...

I’ve never considered this. Could the sincro handle that much spin-up or would you have to slam it into gear? How much rpm can a clutch disc withstand?

Looking at that clutch disc the friction material was mechanically ripped from the disc on one side. To me that could only happen from a foreign object, defective part, or installation error. You can ride the clutch all day,every day, and that wouldn’t be the result in my opinion. Ford should...

I get that the engine power falls off a little at 5.5k but how much wheel torque (not engine torque) is lost with the upshift to the next gear and how far down is the power at 4000 rpm vs 6000? I say shift at redline for acceleration and fun.

Is anyone else obsessed with intentionally over-reving the manual 2.3? The fast and furious inspired tachometer taunts me the way it gets darker and darker as if to say “Watch out, don’t think about it, don’t do it, I told you not to do it!!!” This little screamer is totally the wrong engine for...

Most people don’t wave at anything. We have a Jeep and that is an exception but I have to initiate the wave to get a wave and you can tell that most of the time their heart’s not in it. I have a blue Silverado and always wave at blue silverados but to date not one has waved back. We were once at...

I can’t see the headlight switch when in the seat. I really don’t like the auto-rev when I let the clutch out from a stop. As mentioned below, I can’t keep the key fob in my pocket without setting off the panic alarm. Other than that, I love the thing.

We still own every car we’ve purchased in the last 25 years. All manuals except for the Chevy. The Fiat, Jeep, and Scion are my wife’s. The garage is for project cars.

For me the scam showed up when Ford had a mid year price increase after my order was in and the Dealer said they couldn’t do anything about it. Price is $2000 more. I called Ford from the salesman’s desk. I got it for the agreed price but the dealer sure tried to get me.

Our 25 Heritage is designed not to run below 1000rpm. I can start off in first or second with clutch only/no gas and the engine will auto rev to 1400 to start off. However if I idle it in first at 1000rpm and lightly step on the brake the engine will instantly die. Sometimes I’ll select second...

That looks great! Same letters I think. I looked at your profile for a side view. Your Bronco is amazing!

I knew I couldn’t be the first to do this. The Red does look great with the Red Bronco. Thanks, I was curious also, and now I know!

Thanks, my wife suggested getting a small amount of wrap material and filling the centers to “try it out.” I may do that but I agree a darker red might look better than Stapler Red.

Thanks, that looks awesome!!!

I’m not proud of my hack job but since you asked… The F didn’t require any drilling for the studs but the other letters did. These are almost 4in wide which is slightly wider than stock. I had the original back nuts for the letters but ended up JB welding them in with a layer of clear RTV behind...

You could do this….Pickup letters, not from a Bronco.

Has anyone else done this? What do you think? These aren’t from a 1966 Bronco as those are canted and won’t mount flat, instead they are from an unknown truck from 1973 (eBay). My wife says I need to paint the centers red but I’m inclined to leave as is. They have some patina and might look...

I’ve just discovered this, my Bronco is brand new. I’ve been googling how to turn it off without success. I bought the Bronco because I missed having a manual transmission as a daily driver and figured if I got a fast sports car I would be speeding and doing burn-outs. The Bronco gives me a fun...

When I saw this thread I thought what could I possibly hate about my Bronco? At about 120 miles since new I noticed that when I tried to creep forward in traffic by releasing the clutch without using the gas pedal the computer wouldn’t allow the rpm to drop below 1000 and then it jumped to 1500...
