Sorry to hear this. I agree with your statement, too, that for several weeks this crew was tight. Nothing brings people together like shared frustration! Take care, and I hope you get your ride back soon.
I just hit 1,000 miles. Between motors, chips, and airbags, our Bronco community is in bad shape. I hate to say, but it's almost tempting to sell it to Carmax and bank some cash while it is working normally. Seeing too many stories like this with the motors.
I broke the clips on the driver's side speaker panel. That's when I said screw this! lol. I hate breaking new stuff. After I get over the aggravation, I may give it a go. Thanks!
I swapped out the 4 4' speakers with Alpines. Bought Kicker's to replace the 6.5s, but when I popped off the speaker cover and couldn't get to the screws, I said forget this. Not taking off anything additional if not gonna be huge improvement. The Alpines sound great.
I chose white initially, switched to A51, then switched back to white before getting my VIN. I love the A51, but in my town there were 2 broncos at that time and they were both A51. I wanted to be different than those 2!
