Once I saw how Mercedes does oil changes I purchased one of these and never went under another vehicle to do an oil change again . Also happy to hear the 2.7 has the upper mounted filter like the Mercedes has had for many years as that makes for a completely mess free and simple oil change .
Ford did not reuse FCA Jeep lack of quality.
Easier said than done. One area that it fails is with a lift. Now...these things(Broncos) will be good to go starting off. If Ford offers a 2inch lift will that affect the Rzeppa style shaft and the increase in angle? Just something I saw and just because it's not FCA doesn't mean they can't have similar issues. I also understand that we are talking almost 20 years in difference and they very much could be better now. I was just curious if anyone has experienced any issues or had concerns about the connection point. I guess I was just looking for more than FCA sucks and Ford rules.
Only way to get travel for articulation unless you put the shock tower way up into the interior.
I sure hope that Panhard Bar gets closer to horizontal with the body installed. As it looks here I would want to buy a drop kit for it.
Can't go wrong, however when I've looked into this, I was looking at $20k for examples with 200k miles, especially If I wanted any options and a manual trans. I'm sure the after market will respond with u-joint/yoke kits like they did for the JK crowd within 6 months, as well as greasable steering components. I don't mind replacing failed parts with better stuff, I guess. But I do notice when poor engineering from the industry leader leads to poor imitation from the competition.
My thought is it sucks...hopefully tom woods will come to the rescue!
Iām no engineer but I find it super hard to believe that 2 3/8ā bolts (There May be 4) would snap off before whatever line towing it would snap
I use this one, it works on my car and boat and as a plus bleeds the car brakes. Hand pump or Air connection.
So I am looking at that rear frame member and the the receiver. Ford said Class II receiver, and it looks similarly constructed compared to the four bolt 2ā Jeep Class II receiver that was on my JK. I recently swapped mine out for a heavier Class III four bolt. The primary difference being front and rear plates are welded around the receiver tube, whereas like my OEM JK, this Ford one only the front plate appears to be welded around the tube.
