If treated well, any modern engine will last longer than you will. A local dealer guarantees his select used vehicles for the life of the buyer. Think about it. 50k a year for 20 years is only...
The root cause of the failure was not the rope or anything mechanical. It was the driver of the Jeep. Iām a country boy and a Mechanical Engineer. Trying to jerk any vehicle with a rope or cable is a recipe for disaster, even if the vehicle is on flat dry ground.
if the Bronco weighed 5000#...
I bought the navigation option for $80. Donāt waste your money. Google maps is far superior. Chevroletās is far superior. White roads on a gray background is so plebeian! Compare Fordās weak attempt to Google Maps.. Entry level (mid 90ās) versus a system thatās a pleasure to use.
Re: lifters. Sorry, I just group bucket tappets and lifters together. For 40 years I was Bow Tie. But the Bronco is the only vehicle on the market that fits my needs. Overall, the Chevy products are far superior, tho.

I know for a fact that some manufacturers to $$/mo for warranty work.
If a Ford dealer exceeds the average cost for warranty costs, what happens? What is the time frame of the calculation? Is there an incentive for being below average?
if there is a penalty for being over...
My grand average fuel economy around south bend in is 19.9. 2 dr, OB, 2.7, no mods, high pkg.
No issues so far except for an annoying click coming fron the engine. Probably a lifter or injector. Iāll ignore it until it gets pretty bad.
Having the side and front surround vision turned off...
NOTE TO ALL SEEKING WARRANTY WORK. Some, maybe all, manufacturers allow only so many $$ in warranty work each month for each dealership. I guess itās to prevent dealerships from doing unessential warranty work.
The lesson is donāt go in for warranty work until the beginning of the month if at...
When in my garage with all the bright led garage lights on, the HD Surround Vision works fine in D, N, & P. In R, the side cameras go dark just when I need them to back out of my garage. The front and rear cameras are OK. The bright down lights on the bottom of the mirrors go out as well...
Be careful about light bar watts. LED watt ratings have nothing to do with volts and amps. LED watts are Lumens divided by their efficacy. Best way to check things is connect your light to a battery thru an ammeter. You will find that the actual watt draw is about 1/10 the light rated watts...
Well, as it Turns out Led watt ratings have nothing to do with volts and amps. Its Lumens divided by the ledās efficacy. So, you need a lumenometer and an assumed efficacy to determine a lights āwattage.ā Isnāt that special? https://www.rapidtables.com/calc/light/lumen-to-watt-calculator.html
Thx Toymaster. The article was interesting. But, still, at 13.5 volts actually drew less than a 1/2 amp. So, itās still a mystery. Maybe the forward voltage os actually 120 volts times 1/2 amp equals 60 watts. In any event, before connecting something to your Aux circuits, some checking...
I bought some Nite Light led lights advertised at 60 watts each. Putting two of these on a 10 A AUX switch worried me. Using conventional calculations (60 watts divided by 12 volts equals 5 amps each, times 2 lights equals 10 amps, or on the verge of blowing the 10 A fuse). So, I thought Iād...
Well, I found three of the non-powered circuits, interestingly marked with slases witha magic marker. 1, 2, & 3 slashes. Pic attached. Where are the other two???
I have a 2door, OB, High Package, hard top, and V6 in Cyber Orange. Best illogical decision I ever made. I bought the 2 door because itās a lot easier to maneuver in the woods with its very small turning circle. Plus it gives my wife more room for her Traverse in our garage (probably the real...
Thanks, but exactly where are the ends of the wires routed through the body so I connect the switches to the circuit I want to connect to my my accessories? If you have a pic of where they are, Iād appreciate it. Thanks for the reply!
I am having a hard time finding the ends of the body circuits for use with the aux switches. I found all the hot wires coming from the aux switches, and a couple purple wires coming from a wiring harness near the power distribution box. Where the heck are the rest of them please.
Also, I...
