  1. Motorcraft oil versus Mobil 1

    What oil were you running? Hard to believe Mobil 1 or Amsoil, Rotella, etc. would fail that soon.
  2. Can’t stop redlining the 2.3

    Atta Boy or gal!! That engine will last longer than most who baby and needlessly change their focking oil every 3K miles.
  3. Motorcraft oil versus Mobil 1

    Fucking oil threads....my semi runs T6 Rotella and gets changed at 100K intervals - oil analysis is perfect every time. Y'all wasting money and crude on needless oil changes. Maybe if all your trips are 10 mins to the local ABS, than yeah, change at 5K - even that is too often with the modern...
  4. What did you do TO / WITH your Bronco today? 👨🏻‍🔧🧰🚿🛠

    I got a speeding ticket on the way to work ascending a nice higher speed section with some nice sweepers on my daily commute route. Passed a few semi's at 107, made the crest and there he was....Smokey gobbling his donut. I had it down to about 75 by the time the Valentine lit up but it was in...
  5. Guess how much to fix

    Dude!! Really?! You're gonna fix THAT?! Just go hit an offroad park and add some more "character marks"! At the very least, go ahead and submit the claim, take the money and hit Vegas! Why fix such a little boo boo in a vehicle designed to thrash off road?!
  6. Extended Warranty (Is it worth it?)

    Get it from Ford, not third party. I bought the 7 year/100K package and I think it was a reasonable price. Especially since my rig is no garage queen - I abuse the shit out it - meaning, I drive it like it like I drove theirs at the Braptor Off-Roadeo. 14K miles in and no issues. These...
  7. Cross-Country to Baja: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

    Great pics and thanks for sharing. Looks like an epic journey to say the least despite the suspension woes. Life is good most times if you make it so!
  8. 7 Stupid Ford (EcoBoost) Engine Habits that are KILLING your Turbo

    Think I'll keep hammering the living shit out of my 3.0, run Amsoil with FR3, drink beer while off-roading, rail the ol' lady in the back seat and use the extended warranty as a safety net.
  9. My 2025 Bronco Outer Banks caught on fire - burned down to shell (updated with photos)

    All of a sudden I miss my '72 Pinto - at least in that you had to be rear ended before the fireworks started!
  10. Mabett Giveaway: What Did You Name Your Bronco?

    Warhorse!
  11. [EDIT:] Ford won't reimburse me for my recalled rear shocks.

    Jesus H Christ, fellas and gals!!! Let's give the OP a little more love. He sounds like a pretty responsible kid - paid off his college loans when many in his shoes just skip out or let mom and dad do it. And, yeah, maybe right now, he sounds like a bit of a tight-ass with the spend, but, he...
  12. Oil Change Frequency

    Yawn. Disclaimers up front - Not a lubrication expert. No horse in this race and frankly to each their own. Also, I like to save money, so yes, I'm a cheap sonofabitch. Also, as I've gotten older, I've gotten lazier. All that said, I may be able to help some of you fellas and gals save some...
