maintenance

Hello good folks, Over the weekend I performed an evaporator cooler flush with some foam cleaner (Kool-It Evaporator and Heater Foam Cleaner) sold for the purpose after a moldy smell had begun issuing from my AC/Heater. I have performed this maintenance on previous vehicles without problem and...

Encountered an interesting issue yesterday morning. Got in the car to take it in for an oil change. Soon as I started the car it said engine coolant was over temp and sounded like it was running a little rough. Got a bunch of messages from ford app (attached). When tow truck driver pulled it up...

Happy Sunday Bronco6G! So I know there's a ton of info already floating around here and on YouTube about how to change the oil on the 2.7L, but hey, what's one more for the pile, right? 🤷 Most of you know me for my "how to" writeups on the forum. In 2025, I've decided to take the help guides...

Hi All, It's getting close to time to get my first maintenance visit on my 2022 2-door base MT (purchased 10/23 with ~6K miles). The only car under warranty I have ever owned was a new 1998 Ranger, and at the time I didn't have the money to pay dealership service rates, so did most of the work...

Picking up a new Badlands SAS next week and will be driving it back home to AZ from NY. I've been reading lots of posts related to the need for early oil changes in the diffs, especially the rear but hoping to find an easier way vs opening the cover. Any thoughts on using an extraction pump...

I received my Bronco earlier this year, built at the end of Nov 2022. It’s a 2023 model so I believe this should for sure be a MIC 2.0 top. Quality wise everything has really been top notch with everything on mine so far *knock on wood* but I will say I’m a little concerned about the hard top...

I received a Big Bend and knew immediately I wanted to put the rock rails on it to just fill in that look at the bottom. Of course to save some money I bought some secondhand on EBay and put them on without issue. I’ve been having issues cleaning them though. I’ve tried everything to get a...

I’ve had my Bronco for just a little over two weeks now and I’m already starting to notice some “dirty” spots on the rock rails. Not really sure from what other then driving around in dirty rain. Maybe some shoe scuffs from people getting in. I’ve tried just about all I can think to clean it...

Any recommendations for an vehicle maintenance log app or even a spreadsheet template someone can share? I created a simple log some years ago in excel to track vehicle maintenance expenses, but this time around, thinking I might want to track all the accessories and Include reminders for...

Just wanted to know if the rain pooling on the front end of my factory soft top will likely cause an issue. Is it supposed to happen? It's really not much, about a cup of water fills the area. I imagine it could get worse over time.

Torn between Black Diamond VS BD Squatched VS Badlands. I want that B.A. look and tough interior. I’ll eventually make into the woods after the honeymoon phase. The effort and costs associated with off-road goodies is one factor I’m considering in my choice. I’m one of those guys that pays...
