  1. Looking for 2.3L Auto to compare to mine. North San Diego area.

    Thanks for the feedback. Also, I am aware of the noisy 2.3L engine. I believe this is above and beyond just that. My reasoning is, this detonation issue started small and has grown. When I first noticed it, it only happened when I just started it, then as my Bronco warmed up, everything went...
  2. Looking for 2.3L Auto to compare to mine. North San Diego area.

    Thanks for the feedback Joe! btw, I'm driving the BD A51 softtop up in the North Poway area, if you see me. :) Since no other reply's on the detonation issue, I guess I'll just drop it off at KM to have them look at it. Happy holidays! Mike
  3. Looking for 2.3L Auto to compare to mine. North San Diego area.

    Any tips on if anyone else with the 4Cyl is experiencing noticeable detonation even when using premium fuel? Best regards Mike
  4. Looking for 2.3L Auto to compare to mine. North San Diego area.

    Hi all, My BD Bronco that I love dearly, when I accelerate it sounds like it pings/knocks noticeably. Doesn't matter if I put regular or premium gas in the tank. In addition, It didn't used to do this and just started happening over the last couple hundred miles. Even though I bought from...
  5. Anyone considered changing modem from 4g LTE to 5g?

    Yup, but even Ver and Tmobile are using low band, which isnt a huge jump from 4G in speed like they sell it. But eventually we will get there, in a few years. Mike
  6. Terrible Gas Mileage With Lifted Bronco 2.3

    Well my 2.3l Black Diamond auto that is NOT lifted on 285/70/17s has been averaging just over 13mpg avg, and i have a light foot. So sounds about right for yours. Mike
  7. 2.3L engine sounds terrible.

    So sounding like it is constantly pinging is normal, even with super unleaded? I just cant get used to it, and want to make sure that is the norm with these 2.3's??? Thanks, Mike
  8. Tire Recommendations - 285/70r17

    Ya, I forgot to mention, what pushed the Toyos to my top was also that they were the least expensive where I live. I liked the tread design, and they were the lightest. Good luck, Mike
  9. Tire Recommendations - 285/70r17

    When I chose my upgrade to 285/70/17, I had to have "C" or "SL(standard load)" because I wanted the tire most suited for daily driving. "E" load I had on my last truck and it was extra bumpy, I didn't enjoy the day to day driving. I ended up choosing the Toyo Open Country AT3 and really love...
  10. Area 51 or eruption green?

    EG is my vote, cuz A51 is a better color and there's already enuf of us. ;) Mike
  11. Anyone considered changing modem from 4g LTE to 5g?

    FWIW, I dont use ATT. Also, 400mbps is not 5G speeds(even though your phone tells you so). That's my point. Mike
  12. Anyone considered changing modem from 4g LTE to 5g?

    So am I wrong or right? ;) My point is, for example, ATT's 5Ge is really 4GLTE. "5GE stands for “5G Evolution,” and essentially refers to AT&T's best 4G networks. It's a misleading name, and if you see it on your phone, it basically means that you're connected to a 4G LTE network." 4G has a...
  13. 2.3 Reviews

    I've driven all 3 before I ordered, I ended up choosing the 2.3auto. For me, the 2.3l auto performed much better that I anticipated, it doesn't feel like a 4 banger at all. The 2.7l was a little better than the 4cyl, but not anywhere near as much as I expected. Now the 2.3l manual I personally...

    I got my built email on Sunday(yeah, right a Sunday) and just got my shipped email today. I was surprised as hell, didn't see that coming after waiting forever. Hopefully things get better friends! <3 Mike

    I just got mine too over this weekend, almost a carbon copy of your dates, a few days earlier that's all. Also coming to SD. Same transport maybe! Congrats!!! Mike
  17. Surprise Rat Intrusion!

    These work for me(link). I also shine an LED light under my car every night. They seem to dislike light too. Good luck! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08CV2Q15G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Mike
  18. Anyone considered changing modem from 4g LTE to 5g?

    It will be years until 5G is out to the masses. Just wait, or it is a waste of $$$. Current 5G as sold is really rebranded 4g+, not actual 5G. Remember when 4G came out, and it really wasn't actual 4G until 4GLTE came out? Same thing.... Mike
  19. Anybody feeling regret after receiving a rig with standard lighting

    Agreed! , per others, apparently there's alot of assholes on the roads now a days! lol... Personally, I am not bothered by anyone's headlights. I guess I'm just a grown-up, dunno. ;) Cheers Bro!
