There’s a Badlands that is exactly what we were looking for that I believe is a 2023 but the transmission appears to be shared between models? Though you are right that the engine and RDU concerns would go away as well. Also to update: got vehicle back from the dealer with coolant now slightly...

And an inept dealer to boot 🙄 Our 2021 BB had its water pump replaced at just shy of 40k and ended up needing the coolant tank replaced too thanks to the dealer tech. We are now at 73k and I’ve had to top off the coolant to the point of half a gallon in about 15-20k miles in a system that only...

I have an appointment for our 2021 on Monday for a second water pump replacement under extended warranty (lost half a gallon of coolant plus whatever dealer top-offs in 15k miles), and for the torque converter RPM flutter with additional hard shifts on cold fluid. We are at 73k so the water...

Its been a while but I *finally* remembered to follow up on this. I had a bunch of dealer work done and they tossed a bunch of my ForScan changes in the process so I am revisiting this thread and implemented these changes and I can say so far it seems a LOT better - I don't need to crank most of...

Just realized I never followed up on this post with my install - but this has been in the vehicle for a while, long enough for the LCD to generate a line in it and need to source a replacement. Ignore the general mess - haven't gotten all the detailing stuff out for the season. Used a ditch...

Correct - my point was that Ford paints the panels with such a coating so the worst you'd have is where you drilled a hole... but the NMO mount is treated as well with a similar coating. I have drilled into a few Aluminum F150s running 100+ watt radios for years with no issue. I also was part...

I might try the same. I grabbed Focal 165AC speakers so I have a tweeter in each door and the dash. The post I linked below from Bronco6G another member used an external DSP to map the head unit response to the external DSP which was where I was not happy with the idea that the rear speakers...

So those definitely did help! I noticed a HUGE difference with the flat EQ, but the rear speakers were missing some upper range. With the modifications noted a few posts above, the rears are performing as full range. Now instead of running around at 18 volume on the highway I can comfortably...

I’ll be trying the speaker change tomorrow and reporting back if it improves the audio any further. I am just happy to finally be able to enjoy the money I dumped into new speakers lol

Check the other thread in this subforum and see if changing the ACM As-Built code works for you as well. My girlfriend (who primarily uses the Sport) and myself felt a difference in audio but I want to hopefully hear from others as well.

So for anyone that was curious: Changing the Rear Stop and Rear Turn Bulb Outage settings in the BdyCM to "disabled" will eliminate hyper flash. Changing Rear Turn alone wasn't enough and I not only still had hyperflash but a Rear Stop DTC afterwards. Seems like as others have noticed using the...

I I used the Focal Access line in my doors and those inverted tweeters definitely shine! How did you run the amp and what model? I feel like that’s my next step to truly unlock the speakers’ potential and hopefully one with a DSP to maybe tune the audio better than the stock radio allows.

Just did ours a few weeks ago. The one thing I’ll say is AVOID the Nissan adapter rings everyone uses here - I had to do more cutting and modifying than it was worth. Just buy the correct Ford ones (same kit for an F150 IIRC) and you’ll be golden. If you are patient unlike me, Best Buy has a...

I got the mirror last year from a FB member who bought it and then balked at installing it - $160 well spent for me. Now I’m a bit bummed because that could have instead been the Kia mirror and I’d have fixed my second concern - auto-dimming rear view mirror. If anyone has some leads for a...

I’m still stalling on mine - but I bought a Ditch Light bracket kit for the hood and widened one of them out to a 3/4” hole. Then used a thick-mount NMO kit and a Comet “SAR” antenna. Inside the vehicle is where I still need to plan. The antenna will be split by a Sti-Co multicoupler, but the...
