Both of my engine replacements took about 4-5 weeks end to end and I'd consider myself lucky with those timelines. Hard to see how to get it done much faster than that, maybe 3 weeks if a dealer had no other repair work.
The first time was ~5 weeks and took longer because they didn't realize...
Selling 2 sets of lightly used AR | STIRRUPs, 4 steps total. Solid black. Clamps are black and brand new (got a replacement set but never installed them.) Asking $450, includes shipping.
UPDATE (7/1/22)
Got the Bronco back on 7/1. A quick replacement all things considered. They had to replace a few ignition coils(?) or something like that but it all seems to be in order. I don't know if we'll ever find out what was wrong with the engine as it was sent back to Ford.
I'm glad to...
My Bronco has been in the shop the last couple weeks getting the engine replacedā¦for a second time. So I havenāt been able to use the rack much. But the couple times I used it, I really liked it. Install was pretty straightforward, no issues with threads on bolts or anything like that. Itās very...

I'm stuck between "Third time's a charm" and "Fool me twice, shame on me..."
Hereās the quick update. Iāll probably need to update the title for this thread as well.
The service manager verified that the noise is coming from within the engine. He does not know what is causing the noise other than it doesnāt sound good. There was no visible metal in the oil. Could be a...
Having it towed to the dealer this morning. I backed it out of the garage and on to the street so that itās in better position for the tow.
When I shut it down I swear I heard what sounded like a gurgling noise coming from the engine, like water glugging down a clogged drain.
Yeah no codes or anything. It does sound more like a lifter noise based on comparing to other videos. But who knows. Will see what dealer says in the morning and report back.
When it happened the engine was definitely pretty warm - had driven a good 20 minutes before stopping for 15 to hose off the car. Started it up for the videos and it had been a few hours so it cooled off. I'll see what happens after I drive it again.
I'm fairly skittish about this given this is...
