Dealer service advisor told me October this morning, for whatever that’s worth.

Also, gotta give the tech credit for finding a crack and leak in my passenger side turbo oil return tube that I didn’t know about. They replaced it and confirmed no more leak. I never saw drips or anything. They smelled some burnt oil on the final test drive and investigated. So far, the new...

Thanks!

Also they forgot to clamp my transfer case hose on the barb: hose is on but clamp is 3 or 4 inches up the tube. I can’t reach it on my back so I’m headed back to the dealer in rhe AM. I think I would need a borescope to check if the transmission one is clamped. Hopefully they will be able to...

I was thinking caps that could breathe but keep water splashes out. Google AI is convinced I’m missing something. Figured I’d go to the pro.

@Ducati1098 , are those tubes supposed to have caps on them? My Bronco just came back from dealer for trans & t-case replacement and the tubes candy cane at the end but look like open tube ends.

I really hope their AI art guy just messed up the scale…

Thats mad stancez. Finna backlight theez new DUBs soon. Disclaimer: LOL

If I were to move back to Alaska, I’d buy Hakkas for winter if my size was available. No question.

The flares are easily removable, so pop them off next time you wash it to see how much poke outside the body you actually have without the SAS flares. It’s not a little. Then the solution might be clear. EDIT: One caveat. I break a flare clip about 25% of the time when I pop the flares off for...

For me, sport mode shines in heavy traffic when you are trying to merge or change lanes because you can accelerate to pass with minimum delay and then just get off the gas to slow and match speed for a lane change when you find a spot to get over, instead of relying on the brake as much. Ditto...

That’s fair. I had my 2.7 auto in mind when I wrote that. In my Bronco, it’s transformative. The first time I used it on a twisty backroad with climbs and descents, it was a revelation.

That’s probably a common one, Mr. Dover. I’ve used mine exactly once, in deep snow. It was the only condition I felt comfortable using it after exposure to this forum. It’s the one button you always have to wonder: “am I going to break shit” before using it.

That’s explicitly what I’m talking about. The auto provides at least some measure of intervention against mechanical stress from bad shifting habits. Prolonged over-revving or lugging are generally less likely with an automatic. Without those guardrails, a (bad) manual driver can potentially...

If you have Sport Mode and you’ve never used it, you really don’t know your Bronco yet.
