Iām bored so I figured Iād test out how the oil pressure looks with 5W-30 oil close to the low temp limits of the 5W winter rating. No problems or concerns, just curiosity/info.
Pictured here: Temps a few seconds after start; outside is -15F / -26 C. (interestingly the indicated oil temp...
I used Forscan to graph the number of misfires in red on the top and the oil pressure on a cold start in green on the bottom in the attached video.
This is on a 2.7L with 40,000 miles. I can't remember for sure if it always missed like this, but it definitely has some noticeable "skips" during...
I have 2 Broncos with the 2.7L Ecoboost Engine.
The first Bronco (Valvoline Restore and Protect) was purchased new in October 2023. At time of these pictures (two days agoa) it has 36,456 and has the following oil change history:
0 - 6914 miles - Motorcraft Synthetic Blend 5W-30 (factory fill)...
I have two 2.7 broncos at ~30k mi/2 years since new. The other day I checked the coolant level and they were both about 3-4ā below the min line when checked cold.
I went to the ford dealer and they sold me some Motorcraft yellow prediluted coolant.
A few days later I checked the coolant again...
Did an oil change and wanted to put it in my service history on FordPass like I always do only to find the app seems to have erased all of the entries I have made for both of my Broncos. Is there any way to get them back? It does allow me to make new entries but Iād prefer not to have to relog...
My family has two 2.7 Broncos, one OBX non-Sasq with the 4.27 gears and a Wildtrak.
For some reason the wildtrak is always around 180 but the outer banks runs about 210 on oil temps in the same conditions, same speeds. I am wondering what causes difference. Normal variance in sensor accuracy...
There is an impending volcanic eruption where I live. The volcano is about 75 miles upwind of the city in which I reside and has erupted twice in the last 50 years, raining ash on the city each time.
Of course I will try not to drive at all while if it happens, but in case I need to I've...
I'm about halfway throgh my first winter with my Wildtrak on the stock goodyear territory M/T. While I'm surviving the winter driving here in Alaska where all the roads are ice (sometimes with gravel spread on top, sometimes not) , driving on-road feels like a game of Mario Kart and trying to...
Just wanted to put it out there in case it helps someone in the future, when I put these Baja Designs Squadron Pro lights on my Bronco everything was great.
Then I tried to angle them outside about 20-30 degrees as shown in the picture, instead of straight ahead. The result was what happened...
Sorry, searched for this and couldnāt find it:
on my ā23 outer banks the plastic fitting on the rear tailgate glass wiper fluid hose snapped off causing the wiper fluid hose to dangle loosely. I donāt know what caused this, couldāve been baggage back there or just a lot of bumpy roads?
ofc I...
Took my wildtrak off roading. After I aired from 20 back up to 35 upon leaving the trail I noticed my steering wheel seemed very sensitive. The steering is responsive & accurate - it's just that it takes ~30% less force to deflect the wheel than it did before. A few weeks later I tried...
'24 Wildtrak Lux
Had a gnarly rattle near tailgate area.
Made my wife drive me around in the cargo compartment and found this dangling near the driver's tail light. It was swinging like a pendelum and making a hellacious noise on bumps or accel/decel.
The only thing I had done in the...
I just received this kit from @SPVPARTS Specialty Performance Parts Baja Designs Triple Fog Kit
I ordered an SAE Clear, SAE Amber, and Driving/Combo light for the 3 pairs.
My questions:
In what positions would you mount these 3 relative to the center/edge of the bumper? I intended to use the...
I live in a place that can be difficult to ship wheels to and saw a ranger takeoff set of these for sale locally and affordably. I wanted a second set of wheels for my OBX non-sas so that I can change my winter tires on/off myself. People were quoting me $1500 just for shipping to alaska for...
Hello,
We had to take the stock tires on our OBX non-SAS off right after we bought it. We had to put studded tires on the vehicle before we drove it up to Alaska this winter, passing through Canada where laws required such tires. We didn't have room to carry the stock tires in the bronco so...
I have a 4 door '23 outer banks non-sasquatch with Cooper Discoverer Snow Claw 275/65r18 studed winter tires. This Bronco has the full time advanced 4x4 transfer case option. And to get this out of the way, no I've never driven a regular RWD pickup or Jeep at all, although I had a Mustang GT...
I'm thinking of upgrading my little Sport to a Bronco, and love the code orange color. Do you think the 2023 Bronco Raptor is going to be the last chance to get one in this color for a long time or will they reintroduce it? The raptor is a lot of money but I've had my Bronco Sport stuck up...
Hi,
My questions are:
Does the rear sway bar and HOSS 3.0 suspension of the 2 door wildtrak contribute to a safer/more stable on-road winter driving machine given the relativley short 100" wheelbase of the 2 door?
Does it make any sesnse to go for a badlands 2 door and then install a rear...
