Could be bad metal under there. had to have my tailed replaced after getting rear ended. They had one stock so I was pretty happy they’d have the new one ready quickly. When I checked on my advisor, also the manager, said he looked at the one they had and the primer itself a was flaking off and...

I find this an odd complaint. All the cars I’ve driven made from the 70’s-2017 have the parking break release and hood release near each other lower left of the steering column. Excepting the pull lever by the center console on Japanese card and the stupid gotta push the brake all the way to the...

For sure. My wife likes to slam the doors like it’s a 1980 Oldsmobile. More training required.

Would love to hear your review of the tune. And from what I gather it does shorten drivetrain warranty?

Does anybody make sliders that look more like nerf bars than running boards?

Forcing the window to “re-learn the stops. At LEAST once week. Usually passenger rear. But still kinda random.

What’s funny is even the aftermarket folks haven’t really brought anything to market yet either. Advanced hasn’t shipped many if any either. Anderson isn’t shipping any now per the link. 1. Too worried about being light? 2. Too worried about being modular? 3. Mounting points on the Bronco make...

Not at all. Only happens under load. Sounds like valve rattle on an old sloppy valve train.

Yeah. Ford Corporate told the dealer it’s not an issue. I’m gonna let it ride for a bit and if it bothers me too much I’ll probably push to get it replaced.

Yeah. Not totally satisfied with the answer. What don’t get is why it goes away after warm up. And doesn’t start for about the first 1/2 minute.

No. it’s scary.

They were able to reproduce and sent an email into Ford tech. Ford is aware of the noise and say it’s “normal waste gate rattle and nothing to worry about”. Just got it back this afternoon.

How heavy were the hard tops for the first generation? I get they were quite a bit smaller. More of a curiosity than anything else.

Sounds like the MIC top is already pretty suspect.

More than $12k from ford? Or $6k after market offerings?

I’m gonna start with saying I have no experience with the metal hard top generation. only Blazers and Jimmys with the fiberglass hard tops. Does it not make sense to make a metal hard top any more? Sorta modular 1 ie 2 Roof panel and 3 panels that have the windows?

I have 9,000 miles so I don’t think that’s it. Higher octane made no difference for me. See if I can get it in this week. Will post what they find.

Did you ever figure this out? Exactly the same conditions but mine sounds like valve rattle.

I really like mine but sure would like to drop the 3.5 in it. After break in period mpg seems to be steadily climbing. Started at 17.7 now at 19.0. No reset.

They’re afraid of 2 things IMO we can’t handle the power and will kill ourselves or someone. The drivetrain can’t handle it. Back on ‘00 I got a Dakota manual. Largest engine you could get was the small 8 magnum. It WOULD spine tires in 4 out of the 5 gears though. Maybe I ruined it for everyone...
