  1. 2023 Wildtrak won't start, Dealership has no idea what's wrong. They are blaming my Kicker Key 200.4

    If the underlying problem was a ford part, they could submit to get reimbursement from Ford. it would be silly to ask a customer to pay 13hrs of diag and burn that goodwill if there was a chance Ford would pay. Having said that, 13 hours is a lot of time. pull codes, check the battery, check...
  2. 2023 Wildtrak won't start, Dealership has no idea what's wrong. They are blaming my Kicker Key 200.4

    Not a lawyer but I don’t think your local dealer can waive your warranty with Ford corporate. take the battery to autozone and have them test it. If it’s toast my suspicion are the mods. Unhook them and check if the problem comes back. You would still be responsible, but probably only out a...
  3. UAW strike.

    My 2¢, defined benefits (i.e. pensions) are never coming back. Too much liability for the company. 401k’s are paid out and then you’re done with them. I think the only way UAW gets more compensation is if they agree to headcount reductions. All the OE’s keep pitching the complexity reduction of...
  4. Totaled NOOOOOO! What now?

    The unfortunate reality is you’re probably going to take be financially worse off regardless of what happens, unless your policy is for replacement value. Having said that, I would just take the payout and go get a new one. Was just getting an oil change at the dealer and they had 4x 4dr...
  5. Ford agrees to $9.2 billion US government loan

    Part of the reason I bought my Bronco is because of the high percentage of US parts. More US manufacturing is an unequivocal win my book. Especially cutting edge technology. Regarding ICE vs EV: Gasoline is pretty much capped out in terms of energy efficiency. And As the easy to extract oil...
  6. Should he be offended…

    At the risk of sounding a billion years old: I blame influencer culture. People now buy stuff for clout. Maybe this always happened and social media just made it more visible, but I feel like people used to buy vehicles based on their utility. Now they buy a bronco and put an eBay 3” body lift...
  7. Ford reverses decision and will keep AM radio on vehicles 🎙️

    If I wanted to listen to the same 35 songs on a loop every 2 hours, I would make a spotify playlist. If you're into talk radio or comedy it's okay I guess, but for music it's trash.
  8. Help Identifying Which Aux Switches to use

    Yeah, you should be good to go. Switch 2 is 15A though, if you wanted to reserve it for a higher draw accessory. If I remember correctly the switches are fused too, so even if something goes wrong it will blow the fuse. Edit: Yep, fuses 60-65
  9. How many miles before your 1st windshield chip/crack

    I've already had to fill 2 stars using resin kits, and I'm only at 13k miles. Of course just driving to work today I got nailed hard again. No star at least, but a decent gouge in the surface. I hate metro Detroit.
  10. Ford BMS Battery Monitoring System: How it Works, How to Properly Charge, How to Power Accessories

    They are one and the same. In order for the alternator to top off the battery, it needs to raise the 12V system voltage above the battery's voltage. Once the battery is sufficiently charged, the alternator turns off and the battery is the only voltage source. At that point it drops back down to...
  11. DD fog kit from 4x4TruckLEDs, shout out

    Yup the 4x4Truck Leds kit is top notch. If you have access to a soldering iron, I would recommend doing a lineman's splice and putting some sealing heat shrink over it, rather than the crimp on connectors included in the kit. I'm sure they are fine, but I just wanted to weatherproof mine more...
  12. Michigan Big Bend Tires and Wheels Takeoffs

    If these are still available I'm interested. edit: DM sent
  13. Michigan Sold: WTB - Black Diamond Steel Wheels - 3 Needed

    I only need 3, but I would be willing to buy a whole set if you are willing to deal. No longer interested. Thanks.

    Michigan Bronco Club

    I was just in Sam’s Club @ 13 / John R and they have several 1/18 scale die cast 2 door broncos for $17. Saw AMB, Cyber Orange and Cactus for sure, there might be more colors too
  15. PSA: $28 a month for Sirius XM after trial expiration

    I’m done with Sirius forever. I’ve had it on and off over the years but calling to cancel last time really got my goat for whatever reason. First off you can only call during the week and limited hours. Then you have to sit there while they pitch you 4 different deals before they finally let you...
  16. Advice/Knowledge - want to put 35's on Outer Banks with lift & go off roadings with adjustable crash bar?

    Honestly I would just look at either some MT tires on your OBX rims, or maybe some aftermarket 33"s like the post above. You get to keep the crash bars for safety, they aren't going to be as expensive as 35's, they are still going to be more capable than the base OBX, and if you have truly zero...
  17. Anyone else change their driving habits after getting Bronco?

    Oh yeah, first day I took mine home I was still used to driving my manual Mazda3 hatch, took a turn I usually coming flying into and felt like I was about to roll over. Not to mention anything above 70 mph it feels like I have to really get into the throttle to get it there. Before I would say...
  18. Autolamps Too Sensitive, Turn Headlights On Too Early

    It's the little square nub in the center of the dash. I've accidentally thrown a hat over it and wondered why the screens were blacked out in the middle of the day. Having said that, when it's not covered up, I haven't had any issues with the screen brightness. I think it can even turn the...
  19. No Raptor for you
