  1. 2022 Badlands slipping/ shutter.

    Update. Nothing was found, it would not do it for the dealer. I then ordered both the PTU and RDU fluid. I changed the rear since its the easiest. I found one tiny sliver of steel on the magnet drain plug along with some black sediment. It took the same as I drained out, just shy of a quart...

  3. 2022 Badlands slipping/ shutter.

  7. 91 octane or 87, 2025 BS BL

    Yes , then it might be worth it. Most of this year in my area 87 has been $2.79, 91 $3.79.
  8. 91 octane or 87, 2025 BS BL

    I can't remember the last time I have seen price spread that low between 87 and 91. It's constantly at a $1 per gallon more in all my travels. That makes it 25% more, not worth it in most cases .I will use 91 while towing if it's hot or hilly.

    I am on my 2nd set of 235 65 17 Trail Terrains. They are quiet on road and for me have offered excellent traction off road in desert dry conditions ,gravel , rocks, sand, and snow. I haven't been in much muddy conditions, so can't comment on that. When these wear out I plan to buy a 3rd set.

    The two most common ones used today are the flat four, four terminals for lights and ground. 7 pin round RV connector that adds brakes, 12 volt power, and an auxiliary terminal. I now have both in one receptacle on my Bronco Sport. There are adapters to go between both for light functions
