Clearly not a 6G, I love it as it reflects former Broncos I've owned. Anyone care to guess the Bronco model and year?

Started my Bronco and it comes up on the dash telling me I need an oil change. It has only been 430 miles since the last, but it was done back in April. I was probably going to do it anyway regardless of mileage as it was over six months but I like to think I am much more aggressive about...

Just did my third oil change, and I really find the dipstick harder to read than any other vehicle I have had. It seems like the dipstick goes down thru a passage that brings oil from the top of the head to the bottom of the engine. And since it is right there next to the main fill, oil...

I like many others have observed quite a bit of pre-ignition until the engine gets up to temperature. My and other dealers says this is normal with this engine. I was thinking bad software algorithms, or something else should be able to "fix" this, but I just came across this video that...

I finally got to take one of my Broncos out in the snow. I love to drive in the snow especially on roads when there are few other vehicles out there. So this is about on the road snow driving, not off-road snow driving. Thru the years I've owned three Bronco IIs, a 88, then 90 and...

Last time I was out I noticed the voltage indicator in my dash gauges displaying 15.2V. It persisted on a miles mile to the store then again after restarting a couple miles back. I expect normal charge voltages of around 14.5V after starting the vehicle in other vehicles I've had and settling...

Of course I didn't, but it sure felt like I got rear ended. The car behind me was easily 20ft away. No damage nor marks. Puzzling. So here are the details. I was at a stop sign of a T intersection. I let off the brake and gave gas to creep from the stop line up to where I could see...

Simple question, to do my own work on my Broncos, what are the essential tools I should get? Not the basic mechanical tools, the more specialized ones I need to work on this new-fangled thing that is ruled by chips that think they are smarter than I am. I've been doing almost all the work on...

Just thought I would share what I actually got for price protection verses expected. I purchased two broncos, each at a different dealer. Purchasing experiences were very different. One refused to give more than the order sheet and everything else was verbal promises. The second order the...

Anyone have recommendations for a full car cover to put over my Bronco when on extended trips to protect the finish against outdoor environment. Just recently came back from an extended trip and my Bronco which was outdoors was covered with leaves and seeds from maple trees in the area...

Good news I have two Broncos, both with 2.3L, bad news is there is a noticeable difference in the engine when cold. On one the engine sounds different when cold. I would not call it pinging as there isn't a metal sound involved but more of a popping or bubbling type sound from the engine when...

My newly received Black Diamond is doing this and I can't figure out what it is. For reference a Black Diamond, 2.3L, Manual Trans, Squach. The most predictable time it occurs is when I do this. -Vehicle parked and locked and been sitting some time (not sure how long, but 20 min or longer...

A bit of an unexpected problem at the place I am currently keeping my Bronco. The roof rails get in the way of getting into the garage. Are there any issues if I simply leave them off for the time being? Water leak issues? Snow/ice issues?

Got my Bronco base two weeks ago and was playing with the app on my phone and noted all the tires were essentially at 44 PSI and the app said they should be 35 PSI. Not trusting the sensors, I measured with my own pressure gauges and the two different ones I tried said 44 PSI and 42 PSI so...

Have had my Bronco 2 weeks. Went to the store tonight and parked away from other cars to minimize door ding risk and in a area someone would have to go out of their way to park near me. The lot was mostly empty. When I come out, there is a white car next to the passenger side of my...

But what I got wasn't the one I reserved July 2020. Still, I am happy to be able substitute one of the renderings in my avatar photo for my real Bronco photo. What I did get was the 2 door Eruption Green Base I ordered end of November 21 (without reservation) from a different dealer that 202...

It has been more than two months since my one Bronco was built with status of Awaiting Shipment and the Order Track app shipping information said pending and listed as ASN. Saturday it suddenly showed "in Transit" on the app and shipped on the ford page, but the app still showed shipping...

There was supposed to be scheduling this week and I was expecting yesterday or today as is typical to see posts about getting scheduled, but haven't seen any. Talked with my dealer today and "my dealer said..." that they got an email saying this weeks scheduling was cancelled. Based on the...

Damn, life has just got interesting. I've had a Manual Trans Black Diamond reservation going back July 2020 with conversion to order conversion in January 2021 and then a MY22 conversion in October 22 where I added squach package. When I reserved, I had 4 vehicles in the stable and as I posted...

We know that reservations aren't the be all, end all when it comes to priority, but it seems to have some value. Enough value that some dealers are doing things to string along their customers with reservations to later surprise them with a huge ADM and hoping them walk away as they seek even...
