This is why I quit going to this park, every trail is rutted out by the SXSs and it sucks because it’s only 45 minutes from my house in LA (lower Alabama).
If you live on the Gulf Coast and want to stay out of the mud you need to go north as @scolumbo pointed out.
There is plenty of great wheeling in North Alabama, Eastern Tennessee and North Georgia.

Change the fluids all over the place and if it runs fine, you’re good.

Codes read. P0304, P0019, P0025, P0300, P0306, P0305 and P054D. Going to inspect and clean connectors before I take it in. Unfortunately the charging system fault lit up today on the way to get codes read. Gussing I didn't flush the alternator out well enough and after the mud dried it wore down the brushes.

Rough day for the Bronco bashing around with the kids. Got stuck in the mud and had to get recovered. Got high centered really good and got drug out. I have engine bashplates but no transmission bashplate.

No obvious damage.

Drove out to the wash station and rinsed everything down. Check engin light flickered on and off once while driving out of the park. But cleared after rinsing down the bronco. After driving about 15 miles got the pictured check engine light.

I checked oil via dip stick looks good. Temps on the ride back looked nominal. No unusual engine noise on the 25 mile trip back home. Alert clears upon restarting but I'm suspecting it'll come back. Ill get code read tomorrow.

Figured I really need the codes for anyone to help but maybe yall got some ideas I can queue up to look at.

Ok yea I should have realized that we got pretty deep. Ill inspect some of the connections. Good call.

Wow, did a search on those codes, from misfires to sensors, fuel injectors, etc. I hope I’m wrong on what I was reading. Cause damn, I wouldn’t want to have to pay for it or fix it. I know it’s fun as hell, but wow..a lot of work there.

It's all pointing at the connections on the PCM, I would pull those and blow them out. That's the one place that could easily cause all those codes from a single source.

The other single point source of all these errors would be a bad engine ground. So that would be higher on my list.

The first thing on the list is to check battery voltage, because a trashed alternator and low battery voltage certainly could explain everything easily.

Maybe, but also every single one of these codes is pointing directly at bank 2 alone. So I would be looking for some kind of electrical issue on the drivers side.

Could also be a mechanical problem, because all of those could be explained with a timing related issue

Ahhh, I didn't look at the codes, but rather the systems affected, given that information, I agree with you 100%. The fact that it is all on the same bank is concerning.

Start looking where things were submerged. It would really suck if it was mechanical, but that remains a possibility.

I should have actually looked up the codes.

3 alternators? At this point, the OP should be an expert at changing them & carry a spare with him when he goes wheeling.

I hate mud. It's the worst. Gets in everything, causes components to wear & break down faster.
I've got southern Ohio clay mud in places I never thought possible & there's some that I will never be able to get out of my Bronco....
