  1. where are you FORD?

    Itā€™s a known issue with the manuals. Ford actually has a service bulletin out on it. When itā€™s really cold outside you can hear the scraping sound at idle. The noise stops when the truck warms up. Look on you tube. Several people have posted on it . If yours is a ā€˜23 model they may have...
  2. where are you FORD?

    I understand your frustration. The parts to fix my Chinese made manual transmission are back ordered with no ETA. At just four thousand miles I have two recalls and a bad transmission. Love the truck so far but the quality just isnā€™t there.
  3. 2.3L EcoBoost Manual Transmission slight grind noise at idle

    Thereā€™s a TSB about this from Ford. The 5th and 6 th hear synchro gears are bad. My dealer ordered the parts to fix mine which of course are back ordered until who knows when. I told the service manager itā€™s under warranty so Iā€™ll drive it till it goes and then Ford can tow it in. It seems...

    My parts were ordered on Monday Dealer told me they were back ordered until late February or early March Of course they say itā€™s ok to drive because lemon law in NC kicks in if itā€™s out of service 20 business days in a 12 month period. Good luck to you ā€¦fingers crossed they figure this out

    Contacted the dealer today about setting up the repair and was told most parts are on back order until late February/early March timeframe. Guess Iā€™ll drive till it goes and tow it in.

    Keep the 4Runner. I love mine but these turbo motors worry me long term.
  8. 53,000 Ford vehicles currently waiting for chips

    Hereā€™s a solution: Stop relying on a six thousand mile long supply chain and third world child labor to build critical components for your vehicles. Corporate Americaā€™s race to the bottom caused all of this and the sad thing is they wonā€™t change a thing. In 1960, the largest private employer...
  9. MachOneGarage's Four Door Retro Sport Build

    How did you paint the top? Iā€™ve had some shops in my area tell me they wonā€™t paint the top because they are afraid the paint wonā€™t adhere properly to the molded plastic. I have a race red 2door and the white top would look great but Iā€™m apprehensive about the plastic. Yours turned out great.
  10. Do dealers compensate for turning over Bronco after it is delivered?

    Take delivery, mark it up 10 grand and sell it in a flash. Guaranteed somebody is gonna make money off it. Might as well be you. šŸ˜†

    I work on the railroad and TOTALLY AGREE with you. The Class 1 railroads (UP, NS, CSX, BNSF) all have implemented ā€œPrecision Scheduled Railroadingā€œor PSR, in which they laid off thousands of employees and then run super long trains with less people. This has led to a shortage of rested crews...

    The train is sitting for days because the railroads donā€™t have enough employees to move the trains. Conductors and engineers fall under hours of service like truck drivers do. Sadly the class 1 railroads have furloughed tons of people and there is simply a shortage of rested crews to haul...

    I work for the railroad and I can tell you first hand that is not the case. The big carriers implemented ā€œprecision scheduled railroadingā€œ in which they proceeded to lay off two thirds of their employees. They tried to call back but people have moved on with skilled trade jobs being plentiful...

    Mine shipped two weeks ago,ā€¦..still have no info on where it is or when Iā€™ll get it. And youā€™re right rates are going up all the time. The railroads share some of this. They furloughed half their crews in their implementation of ā€œprecision scheduled railroadingā€. They canā€™t get enough...

  17. I think I got gouged on the extended warranty

    Always remember the best sales person at the dealership is NOT your sales guy. It is the Finance manager. Their salary is directly ties to how much junk they can sell youā€¦..warranties, scotch guard, VIN etching, nitrogenā€¦ā€¦that kind of stuff. Donā€™t feel bad they tried to get my wife with an 8...
  18. New Chip Shortage?

    Ford wouldnā€™t be Ford would not be in this position if they had not made the decision to rely on a seven thousand mile long supply chain to save a buck by using third world country cheap labor for critical components. Ford is estimated to lose one million units of production this year due to...
  19. New Chip Shortage?

    Mine was in production since Jan. 14 as well and I got moved to ā€œshipped to dealer ā€œ three days ago. Hopefully you arenā€™t far behind.
