Update - issue resolved. My Instrument Cluster Panel has been replaced (as of 6/16), but it took well over two weeks and because of poor communication/execution (long story that I will spare you the details), five trips to the dealer at 1 hr+ per trip. Ford customer service had been monitoring...
FYI - I have a BB and put BL wheel and tire takeoffs on it when I took delivery. More accurately, the dealership put my BL takeoffs on. The BL takeoffs fit fine, including the spare on the rear rack, presumably without a spacer. It is a little tight to the rear brake light, but the light does...
No modifications, and no plans to make any - rides great, no rubbing and appears plenty of room whether suspension under compression or not. That said, it will not be doing a lot of off-roading.
Thanks - very happy I went with the eruption green when I had to re-order for '22. The wheels and tires are BadLands takeoffs (so 33" tires) that I bought from a forum member who advertised on the New England regional threads. I was able to sell the BB takeoffs to the dealer when I took delivery.
Thanks! I found the Badland takeoffs on the forum. A local forum member was selling them, and they were exactly what I was looking for. He was even kind enough to deliver them the day before I was taking delivery on the BB. I worked out a deal with the dealership to buy my BB takeoffs and put...
First, want to say that I appreciate Ford offering to see what they can do to help. I did hear back from the dealership and their POV is that the Instrument Cluster Panel will need to be replaced. It will apparently take until next week or possibly longer to get the part in. I'll keep my...
Thanks for the suggestions - I will try the "unplug" strategy, if the dealership hasn't got it figured out by EOD.
I did look at the another thread about this type of issue. The OP included a pic of his instrument cluster. In the pic the analog speedo on the left of the cluster was lit - in...
Last Friday I brought my new Big Bend home. The next morning I went out and started it up and nothing but black on the console screen. (no speedo, no tach, no fuel gauge . . .). I jiggled fuses and thumped a few things in the forlorn hope of something was loose. Nope. Called the service...
I imagine mine is on the same ride as yours. Dealer texted me with a message of "good news", but no details. I have my daughter's college graduation (No more tuition payments!!), so probably won't speak with him until Monday.
Just received the baby picture from Ford. Missing a couple things from what I can see - hopefully were added before it left the plant, but another step in the process checked off.
As far as I know (haven't checked with dealer or chat) it should arrive 5/26-6/1. Hope you all are making similar...
And this evening Order Track showed a status of "In Transit" (although no Shipping Information populated yet). Hoping this means no Dirt/Ice/Mud Mountain for my BB!
Got my "built" email from Ford this morning! Expected delivery end of this month or early June. Keeping my fingers crossed that there are no transport hiccups . . .
Been bumped to 5/9 from 5/2 (originally was in 4/25). Hoping this is the last stop. BB, 2.3, 7M, MIC, Signature lights. I've added my info to the spreadsheet.
