  1. New Bronco 2.3 weird rattle/rotating noise when idling

    Just picked up my new Heritage Edition last week and so far it’s been driving great with no issues. Couple of days ago, I was sitting in the car after I got from work and I noticed a weird faint rotating/chirping noise coming from what seems to be behind the bake pedal. I thought it might be a...
  2. Oil leak discovered from a bolt at the driver side and in front of the timing chain cover

    I read many times here this issue but brought my attention this time this while I was traveling and the car star building up a darker mark on the timing chain cover. My Bronco is a 2021 with 24,800 miles on it. Do I need to visit the dealership to inspect and fix the issue? Or likely other post...
  3. Virginia 2023 Badlands 2.3 on 37's w/ Fabtech lift

    Selling my 2023 Badlands 2.3 on 37's w/ Fabtech lift with 8500 miles (will go up slowly). I lifted it with a Fabtech complete lift kit, RC's tie rods, and installed Black Rhino 17x9 wheels with 37" K02 tires (only 6lbs over stock weight). Was originally going to use it as an overland build, but...
  4. Newbie Question for Tire Upgrade on Non-Sas Bronco

    As the title mentions, I've had my Bronco for about a year and a half and I am finally looking to make my first upgrade (I'll withstand the jokes that come my way for waiting this long...). I'm looking to upgrade the stock tires (OBX; non-sas) to 35" ahead of the winter. I have been looking...
  5. 2023 Bronco Base on MT MTZ 305/70/16 & Black Rhinos Shogun

    Hello everybody! I’m thrilled to show my 2023 base Bronco 2 dr 2.3L Manual, first upgrade so far: Mickey Thompson Baja Legend MTZ 305/70/16 on 16” Black Rhino Shogun -10mm offset Gloss Midnight Blue wheels! and the result is absolutely insane! I was kind of tired of looking always the same...
  6. Stuttering while stopping

    I have a 2023 Ford Bronco with the 2.3 and an automatic transmission. I've experienced the stuttering problems at very low speeds that I've found documented in other posts (I almost stalled in a construction zone the other day). It is indeed very frustrating. But the most annoying thing I've...
  7. Fail to Start. 2021 2.3L engine. Video in thread

    In the past few months I have been experiencing a situation where the key-fob remote start fails to work. Lights up green but the truck makes an audible whine and then nothing happens. Annoying but I figured it was an issue with the Key Fob and didn't care to investigate further. Today I try...
  8. New Jersey 2023 Bronco Badlands Over-landing Build For Sale By Owner

    Hello bronco6g members. My Bronco order finally came in after waiting almost two long years. A long time indeed. Do I love it yes, but unfortunately life circumstance is forcing me to sell it, so I thought I would post here first to give the enthusiasts first crack at a 2023. That does not mean...
  9. Ford Performance Axle-Back Exhaust installed on 2.3 Bronco (with sound clip video)

    Just installed this the other day and I personally love the way it sounds. It similar to a focus RS/ a 2.3 Mustang IMO. Its not offensive loud and in the video it has some nice burbles and pops (not like those idiots with focus "pops & bangs" tunes). It was pretty easy to install I wish I...

  11. 2.3l auto vs 2.7l auto (3.73 gears)

    How do these engines feel on Base model (3.73) gearing? My jerk reaction says to avoid the 2.3l Base auto if added 33"+ tires, but what's the forum consensus? Goes to say rock crawling is probably not the best idea on either setup, but how about around town and lighter off-road stuff? I did a...
  12. 7MT Badlands Noise at Low Speeds?

    Hey guys - I have a 2.3L 7MT 2DR Badlands that was built the week of 4/25/2022. Ever since I got it with 7 miles on the odometer, it’s made this unusual sound at low speeds and I can’t figure out if it’s normal or not. It kind of sounds like an air suction / wind noise or something to that...
  13. 2.3L engine sounds terrible.

    Please listen to this video. It sounds terrible. Checked all the fluids. Is this the way the Bronco 2.3L engines are supposed to sound? Only has about 2500 miles. With the hood closed sounds like the engine is ticking.

  15. Interesting engine sounds after extended driving (~30 mins)

    Hey all. I'm a relatively new Bronco owner (purchased in early April), and so far it's been a pretty great experience. However, there is one aspect of the 2.3L engine that I wanted to post on here, in hopes that those with more Bronco/car knowledge may be able to provide some valuable insight...
  16. So I just switched my order of a 2Door to a 4Door. Just a little bummed.

    Original order had a 2D Base Sas with the 2.7. When I called to switch it to a 4 door my dealer stated that Ford isn’t taking any new orders on the 4 door with the 2.7, even on order changes. So for me to get a 4 door I had to switch to the 2.3 I4, which I’m a little bummed about. I get it...
  17. Hard Top + Roof Rack = Tornado Wind Noise

    Ok I'm going to keep this quick - Ive had my 4dr 2.3 MT Badlands with the MIC hard top and roof rack for about 3500 miles now and I can say without a doubt the wind noise in this truck is as loud or louder than anything I've ever taken on the highway (including a soft top 1969 GTO). I test...
  18. Big Turbo for 2.3L?

    Does anyone make a big turbo for the 2.3L yet? I’m looking to gain 100+hp from stock and I believe the only way to safely do that will be with a new turbo.
  19. 7MT 4.46 Upgrade - How to add lockers and new gearing?

    Hi everyone, I have a big bend 4D 2.3L with the 7MT and 3.73 gears. I really want to turn this into a better off-roader but I am also new to the off roading world and am looking for advice. What do I need to do in order to get a locking front/rear diff and shorter gearing? Do I need to do them...
