Thank you for confirming it is the actual brake pads compressing. You say any car would do this, I disagree as leaving a car sitting for 6 months is not unusual for me. My experiences were minor, this was uniquely severe.
I was recently away for 6 months. My Bronco was sitting. My driveways is also very steep or otherwise I wouldn't bother with the parking brake. When I drove it after getting back there was a very severe shake when applying the brakes. I mean very severe. My bronco is 2 years old with...
Yep quite aware of the emission factor as well, while you say strictly emissions there are some benefits. I just decided to stay away from the emissions in my description since mashing the pedal under load is not good fo performance as well as emissions. I really do need to get one of those...
Manual trans was a big part of my decision. And I do prefer it. That said it is the lest fun manual trans I have ever drove. It took me a while to figure out why. It just felt like I couldn't make smooth shifts which was odd cause I never had that problem and I've driven manual trans fo 40...
Probably been stated but I wouldn't expect a manufacturing error. More likely, since it is used that I be suspicious of it being a stolen vehicle and that vin was too obvious and difficult to change so they pulled it.
There should be vin in other locations though I am not sure where...
I hate to say this, but this whole ordering process, especially with the model year roll overs and trying to preserve price protection has been full of pot holes. There were very specific deadlines in the fall every year and required actions or they would do things by default. In some cases...
Another reason to dislike the headlights. The other day I could see some barely visible flicker. I am more sensitive to flicker than most. It went away with lights getting slightly brighter while I was investigating. Now it seems obvious that LED lights aren't going to do well at keeping...
Since I originally posted this, my one Bronco that wasn't exhibiting this started to do so when cold but not as bad as the first. The one I wrote about initially started to do it less. So both about the same now just sort of between the extremes.
My dealer has told me this is normal as well as...
The fancy transponder type keys make it easier. Not just clicking a FOB button. The perps walk around the house with an antenna seeking to get it close enough to the transponder key which often people keep near the door and rely the signal between the transponder key and the car to make the...
A bronco II for sure, I don't recall the full size having rear windows that came up like that.
For the year it would be between 1984 and 1988 as the 89 and 90 had different front with the headlight cluster wrapping around the corner so the yell front turn signal/running light was visible from...
My first thought is that the "winter" tires had a similar tread pattern/coarseness/aggressiveness as the M+S tires I consider all season road tires I've been running for years. Ones I consider okay in the snow but I run more aggressive on my primary snow vehicle. My bronco's still have the...
Badlands and Wildtrack comes with heavy duty modular bumper which is premium on other trims. Modular bumper does not have fog lights option. On my Black Diamond I got the modular bumper rather than the capable bumper, capable has fog lights but modular doesn't so I didn't get fog lights. To...
