  1. Vapor canister vent solenoid

    Okay, problem fixed. It took a day and a half for the check engine light to go away, but replacing the vapor canister purge valve with hose cluster was the solution. Definitely a do it yourself. Just take your time in getting the original hoses disconnected. They have a tab locking mechanism...
  2. 1.5L MPG data for a few weeks (2022 Bronco Sport Big Bend)

    I'm getting 31.8 MPG consistently when I drive carefully and pulse/coast whenever possible, just giving it enough gas to maintain my speed. If I drive the freeway on long trips between states, the varied terrain reduces me to about 26 to 28 MPG. But a large part of that is the 80mph speed limit...
  3. Vapor canister vent solenoid

    Thank you for this. I rarely squeeze any extra gas into the tank after the auto cut off, but I did just that my last fill up. Over the weekend, check engine light came on and stayed on. So I'll never do that again. Of course I'm right at 60K miles also, so it may have been time. I checked my...
  4. Found a great sunshade

    Thanks Chiefthepup. Exactly the confirmation I was looking for today. I ordered the whole set. Planning to take a road trip in 1st of November from Texas to Las Vegas. Car camping at a national campground in New Mexico along the way. These black out shades should do the trick for privacy while...
  5. Hello from Underground Graphics!

    Nice. Yes, that morning and evening sun glare bites hard. Would definitely invest in graphics if the hood glare could be tamed.
  6. Spider Roof Rack Installation

    OMG, I'm so glad I saw your post. I was really eyeballing this thing, but had not seen close up pics of the install. I thought the rack mounted on the existing roof rails somehow, but to remove them completely and then think you're installing correctly only to dent the roof? No thanks. That's a...
  7. Best Cooler for Multi Day Camping...

    I highly recommend a cooler by the brand "margaritaville" and they have a couple of 54 qt models. Runs about $125. There is a stainless steel version with the actual margaritaville logo, but they also make one with the Landshark beer logo and it is yellow. I did a lot of research and found this...
  8. Not long for this world

    Study guides will help you. Even just searching online for "what is the meaning of..." can help you interpret most any scripture, and I'd keep looking up references until you feel you understand and that what's being presented makes sense to you. So as not to keep taking up space on this post...
  9. Not long for this world

    I prayed for your this morning and will continue to keep you on my prayer list. I'm glad to hear of your decision to receive baptism again, this time with intent, desire, and full understanding of what you are receiving. My prayer is that when you rise up from that baptism you'll feel the holy...
  10. Not long for this world

    Jon, Thank you for your post. Sharing your experience to serve as advice to others is one of the most noble acts one can do in this life. My hope is that you are able to be surrounded by family, friends and various angels who may visit with you during this time. Don't be shy about reaching out...
  11. Mileage

    1850 miles so far on a 2023 Sport Heritage. No problems.
  12. Near life ending accident?

    "Head on a swivel." That is something a Texas Game Warden told me once when I interviewed him for a podcast I did called Under The Texas Sky. I am pretty sure many law enforcement officers practice the same awareness technique.
  13. MPG Challenge. Finally hit 33.8 mpg

    I am an MPG geek and routinely compete with myself on squeezing more miles out of a gallon of gas. I've only had my Bronco Sport Heritage about two weeks and have hit my best average fuel economy at 37.8 mpg (see pic). The day I purchased the vehicle I was only getting between 20 and 22 mpg on...
