I suppose dirty doesn't necessarily mean bad. It's doing its job at least.
Only concern with AFE is dry version it specifically says for street use. Still waiting on my s&b to arrive (backordered right after I ordered).
EDIT: Cannot find where I read this about aFE.
I have a 65lb Aussie. He CAN jump in by himself when he isn't a lil ****. However typically entails him reaching front legs into Bronco and I awkwardly lift his back end up. Never smooth...
Bump. Any updates/reviews for 2024? In the market to replace my dirty OEM filter. Considering this s&b with open top or aFE with closed top (both dry).
Sorry for your loss. I know the auto trans can have random hick-ups (all are prone to them). I've had a similar incident where I gassed it from a stop and it froze up for a few seconds. Chances are it is OK if it drove home like normal.
I have a '22 2.7 Badlands with 17K miles. My back end always lifts up when I shift into drive. I figure it is normal / some torque transfer. I remember someone getting their rear driveshaft replaced with similar "issues". Honestly not sure what normal should be.
Correcting note above. Badlands non-sas are a nearly identical variant of the yellow HOSS 2.0 and are vast improvement when compared to trims non-SAS or non-Badlands. With that being said:
1. Do not put 2-door suspension on 4-door Bronco, or 2.3L on 2.7L, etc. Unique spring rates are used on...
