Same here. I was a day 1 (7/14) reservation date that moved my order to Granger. I really wish Ford would "get it". Yes, Granger had an attractive price but the NUMBER 1 reason to go with them was because of Zach and the team and you didn't have to worry about getting "jacked" around. Buying...

Ford has created such a mess of this... and once again I will say that they have really mostly hurt the consumer who has been caught in the middle. I have two orders - one of them a first day order and the other one was a few days later. Both orders are with Granger, although I am in SoCal...

I don't think that it is a common issue. It shouldn't be that hard to diagnose, however. You need to take it to a shop that has a smoke tester. These small machines generate harmless smoke and pump it into the evap system using a very small pressure. You connect it - preferably with the...

OP - it sounds like you were going uphill during the time of the incident? (Assumption 1) The 2.3 is still using a traditional vacuum-assist brake booster. (Assumption 2) *IF* the assumptions are correct, what happened is that the incline made it such that the engine was no longer producing...

In theory, the depth of the engagement of a nut onto a stud (lug) should at least be equal to or greater than the diameter of the stud. At 7.5 turns you are probably "right there". That said, it is easy enough to replace the studs. They can be banged out with a hammer and you can "pull" new...

As others have mentioned, there is likely a record now in Ford's Oasis system (organized by VIN) describing the findings of and non-warranty position of the dealership. There is a very strong likelihood that the OP's mods caused the problem. IMO, Ford's position is correct. (Yes, Ford has...

2.3 or 2.7 - which engine you prototyping fitment for first?

Do exactly that. Finance with them - smile at everyone in the sale process and thank them for the Bronco and drive it home. Get home, do your research on best financing possible for you and pay-off that puppy at your first opportunity.

Ford, why do you have to make it so hard? You are quickly becoming as slimy as the majority of your dealerships are. That's not a good thing to aspire to... but it sure seems you are well on your way. But why do you have to make it so hard? Life is short. Why don't you just do what you said...

Oct 2021. I though I'd be spending time modding my 2-door Bronco. But, that sure hasn't happened. To pass the time, my 2001 Cherokee has been under the knife. Several months back I purchased front and rear axles, brakes, steering components, etc from a 2021 Rubicon. Allegedly the owner...

EVERY wheel by EVERY manufacturer on any modern car/truck is hub-centric. Yes, there's no load (normally) but shear forces when the occur are taken by the center of the wheel (strongest part) and not by the lugs/nuts. The lugs/nuts are designed for lateral forces - but lugs can flex and bend...

All of the OEM wheel options on the Bronco are most definitely hub-centric. This is the case with almost every wheel from every manufacturer. With a hub-centric wheel, shear forces (vertical movement of the wheel when you strike a rock, for example) are transferred to the hub. This is an...

Yep, there seems to be a flaw in the matrix....

Hub-centric for the Bronco? Or just another one-size fits all?

Shocked. What a wonderful gentleman. I was really looking forward to meeting him - I guess that day will have to wait a while. My condolences to family and friends. Heartbroken here in SoCal.

Pretty much without exception, OEM wheels are hub-centric. Guaranteed, ALL of the OEM wheel options for the Bronco will be hub-centric. Shear loads - encountered frequently in off-road scenarios, are transferred to the strong, hub of the wheel and NOT the lugs and conical seats. Wheels that...

LOVE IT!!! Totally awesome! Kind of a standing joke/complement that I get from our closest GT friends - all of which have MUCH more money that me... is that I am the "richest" person they know. I agree.... and I think you are pretty damn rich too!

Well, indirectly, yes. Engine knock (ping) sensors have become increasingly sophisticated and the ECU can keep track of knock counts and can limit timing and boost accordingly. Better sensors and increased ECU processing speed have evolved so much of this can be done dynamically. While there...

Holy cow did I get an ass-whoopin' for posting the "other" Galpin thread. Yes, I was grumpy... and I guess my expectations were not aligned for with what the event was. I DID register for the event and had an appointment. I simply wanted to go, look, sit-in, and see Broncos in different trims...

With my invitation in-hand, my daughter and I drove down to the Bronco event at Galpin Ford, the self-proclaimed largest volume Ford dealer in the nation. The “event”, in my opinion, was horrible! Arrived about 10-15 minutes later than my planned time. Nevertheless, there was a couple dozen...
