So I have a 2014 Focus ST at 105K miles, now needing some maintenance.
One of the things that just happened was the control module for the whole radiator fan assembly died, and I had to replace the entire radiator fan assembly. I’ve got no experience with the 2.3 or 2.7 since my car is the 2.0...
Man, I just don’t see where the 2.7 goes under the hood. The 2.3 already looks really crammed in there. The extra power is obviously awesome but that’s so much heat in a small area. I’m guessing the 2.7 might have some heat soak issues. The 2.7 isn’t NEARLY as crammed in an f150 engine by, at...
This is something else I can’t wrap my head around. From what I’ve seen on this forum, numerically higher gear ratios = ability to put on larger tires. I just don’t know the “scale”. But the M/T has 4.46 gears, and plenty of space in the wheel Wells by the looks of it. Maybe someone with more...
This is the one thing I would add to the base if it was available, just a rear locker. But I’m not willing to spend 5K more just for the option to get one in the big bend trim, and I know I’ll never get close to letting a Sasquatch stretch it’s legs the way it should, so I don’t want that...
Skid plates is a good point, I may add that even for road driving out here in AZ. Our freeways are good but rural roads are absolutely shit.
What do you guys make of the rear shocks being mounted so low? I guess they are so close to the tire they might not hit on anything, but is there any...
Hello all,
Ultimately I’ll make the final decision, but I wondered what some more experienced off-roaders might think about this.
I like the idea of a base...base...BASE Bronco....maybe with the floor mats but that’s it. I want the 2.3, M/T, 2 door, I want the 30 inch tires, I want the postal...
Yeah I like your points, that’s the middle ground I think this manual will probably land in. Would it be better if it was USA made with USA parts? Of course. But does the country of origin make it crappy? Maybe, maybe not.
Another guy on this forum had an example of a tech company, maybe intel...
Hello,
I’m new to the forum and thought you guys and gals might like to hear about my correspondence with Getrag, reference the Broncos 7 speed manual.
I saw a lot of speculation as to where the transmission would be built, so I emailed Getrag to ask directly where the trans will be built...
