  1. Dash covers for 2025 Bronco Sport / Outer Banks

    I purchased a Carhartt cover in 22 from one the biggies, don't remember which one unfortunately. I wouldn't buy the same one again, the fitment was horrible and it never did lay right even with a dozen or so velcro pads that kept it in place. Hopefully some company has perfected the fitment by now.
  2. Blackstone Oil Analysis

    There is some merit to what Blackstone is saying, however the rate that the additives breakdown varies widely. New oil, no matter what brand will provide sufficient lubrication at first. Over time the additives breakdown, evaporate or just cease to exist. Its that component of oil that matters...
  3. Blackstone Oil Analysis

    Yes, some of their products are but not all. The Penzoil Ultra Platinum is refined from natural gas, re: Pennzoil uses its "PurePlus Technology" which is a gas-to-liquid process to convert natural gas into a high-quality, full-synthetic base oil. This process results in a base oil with fewer...
  4. MAP Sensor Cleaning. Notice any difference after?

    I've cleaned the three sensor's noted above, all with MAF Cleaner. I also clean the PCV Valve and related hoses as well as my Catch Can at the same time. Done all together I noticed it ran smoother at idle and I had a slight gain in MPG. I usually clean everything at or around 30K. You might...
  5. Blackstone Oil Analysis

    Well just received my Blackstone oil analysis for my latest oil change. I posted my previous Blackstone report back in January for an Amsoil Signature Series test. This latest test is for Penzoil Ultra Platinum. The result clearly shows that Penzoil is the winner for half the price. Individual...
  6. MRT Exhaust Installed Review

    I agree, sometimes the simplest response is all that is required.
  7. MRT Exhaust Installed Review

    I understand this question may not have been directed to me specifically, but I feel compelled to contribute to the discussion. One of your points is indeed accurate: manufacturers are obligated to meet government-mandated efficiency standards. However, these production models often include...
  8. Vision Monaco rims and Michelin CrossClimate 2 tires

    Nice, how about road noise, handling, comfort. They have good reviews but never read one for a Bronco Sport.
  9. MRT Exhaust Installed Review

    There really were no issue's, the installation was very straight forward. I should have clarified in my first post about the fitment. I was replacing a custom exhaust that had a slightly different configuration that the OEM. Just enough to warrant new pipe from the factory resonator to the MRT...
  10. MRT Exhaust Installed Review

    I had two Vibrant resonators that Y'd off with dual 3" tips. The system looked good but over time the drone increased to the point it was time for a change. My mileage increased immediately after installing it, now it looks like I might be getting even better with the MRT system. I need a few...
  11. MRT Exhaust Installed Review

    And? Good luck
  12. MRT Exhaust Installed Review

    I've tried recording the sound on my smartphone but it really does'nt capture the true sound. Recorded sound versus actual sound is completly different. The MRT fit perfectly in my 21. I can't imagine the 22-25 models being any different but it is a slim possibility. Nothing that a good shop...
  13. MRT Exhaust Installed Review

    I track my mileage religiously, I have less than a hundred on this new system so it's too early to tell what it will be at this point. My previous system improved my MPG about 20% over the factory rating but I don't see the MRT system changing that figure much. It was the drone on my old system...
  14. MRT Exhaust Installed Review

    I had the MTR exhaust that was posted several times in the last few weeks installed yesterday. The muffler and mounting arms were very solid and positioned perfectly. The installation requires some custom bending and flaring to optimize flow and make the connections as leak free as possible. As...
  15. 50k Mile check in

    2021, 65K: I purchased new in Jan 22. At 35K I had the RDU and left rear axle replaced due to pronounced shuttering. At 55K I had the water pump replaced, coolant system flushed and new coolant. Thankfully both major works were covered by the warranty. At around 35K I replaced the battery and...
  16. Make it Make Sense - TSB for Brake Moan Noise in Reverse

    I updated to ceramic pads and slotted rotors on the rear about a year ago. I also had the mechanic install the Ford Bushing Kit (1st interation) that was was supposed to eliminate the moan. The update worked for a couple of weeks but it returned slowly, as of yeaterday morning the moan was as...
  17. PTU Fluid Change

    Definitely not. The RDU (Rear Drive Unit) and PTU (Power Transfer Unit) require different types of oil. However, you can use any brand of oil for the PTU as long as it meets Ford’s specifications. The RDU, on the other hand, is a specialized component engineered specifically for Ford, requiring...
  18. Blackstone Oil Analysis

    My reason for the six month limit is: I will reach my mileage limit well before I reach six months. Now concerning my 62 Galaxy with the V8. I let it go well beyond six months as I drive it less than 4K a year now. Same with all the other fluids in it. It is in a semi-climate controlled garage...
  19. Blackstone Oil Analysis

    Six months is beyond my current miles driven timeline. I put 10K on my vehicle at around the five month mark. I would like to test oil that is one year old and has 10K on it to see how it compares with a fresher oil that has 10K. Testing is a great tool but its not cheap, for now I'll stick with...
