Some promising news. I got the truck back on Thursday after the full transmission replacement. Two days so far of cold starts with no noise on startup, or in low gears while moving at low speed. I checked under the truck and it's the AB transmission per the label. Hopefully this finally did the...
The tech opened her up and found nothing wrong or damaged inside the transmission. It seems like they have no idea why it's still making the noise after the TSB was completed. They're ordering a new transmission which should be here sometime next week.
I had the TSB completed in May. They replaced the 5th and 6th gear syncros. It was quiet for the summer but it was warm out when they did the repair so I really couldn't verify fully if it was fixed. Sure enough as the weather has started to get colder the noise has returned. I dropped it back...
I just got my 23' Bronco back today from the dealer who did the updated TSB-23-2019. So far so good. I spoke to the tech and he said the new 5th and 6th gear syncros did appear slightly larger than the old one's. There wasn't any noticeable damage inside which is good. I'm going on a long drive...
I just had my local dealer install the tune (7MT Badlands Sasquatch). Does it take some time for the tune to calibrate? I'm not noticing much of a difference (93 octane). I know it's installed because my auto stop/start retains it's setting now, and rev matching appears to be working. I know...
Quick Update on mine:
After spending a few days chasing this down through Ford Customer Support and the dealer, they approved my 23 for a new transmission. It has been ordered and I'm told will be here in a few weeks. I was assured by the dealer that Ford will provide the latest revision and I...
I brought my 23 7MT Badlands in for my first oil change (5K miles) and had them look at the scraping noise which has been present since day 1. They confirmed it was there, but that the TSB doesn't apply to 2023 models and they needed Ford to acknowledge it before they could do anything. They...
Hi Folks. We've got the MGV in our Badlands with the manual seats. My wife is 5 foot and the forward/back seat adjustment bar under the front of the seat is a little tough to reach for her. I'm wondering if there are any aftermarket options to extend the reach of the bar so it's easier to...
I got around to installing the IAG Mini Front Mud flaps this past weekend. It took me around 30 minutes. The install was straightforward, and the only challenges were:
1) There's not much room to remove the top screw holding the rail cap into the rock rail. I had to use a screw bit and a small...
Hi everyone! 834 days waiting and I just picked her up today. I started out with Cyber Orange and changed to VB for 23. I'm so glad I did as this color is amazing. We'll see how she progresses over time but for now, here's a few day 1 pics :) Happy to join all of you fine folks.

Agreed. Mine's been sitting in New Jersey since the 4th waiting for a transport truck to take it to my dealer in CT. My expected delivery is this week so hopefully it sticks. 830 days as of today.
Ditto. Mine isn't here yet either :) My production date (moved three times now) is currently the week of 12/19. I've been waiting for this truck for over two years since reservation in 2020, and got bumped two model years to MY23. It's been crazy but I have a VIN now so it's closer than I've...
