I think it is my fault too, being a woodworker most of my life I have always strived for pinpoint accuracy. Being close to 33 PSI would have been good enough since the tire pressure changes anyway as they heat up on the road.
Thanks for the info, I will get one of those gauges for the next time. I have 2 old pop-out gauges and each one reads a different number, and neither one cooperates with the reading I get in the vehicle.
I should have taken it back to the dealer, I am a new widower and live alone in the country. It takes two people to adjust the tire pressure, one person at the tire with an air compressor and another sitting behind the steering wheel to call out the numbers. Took me an hour and 15 minutes in...
I had the tires put on late Friday and couldn't get back to the dealer till Tuesday-today because of New Years' holidays. He told me it was a mistake and that I should lower it to 33 lbs. So it was a trained-seal problem. Thanks, guys for your help.
I just got my new snow tires and rims on Friday from my ford dealer for my 2021 bronco sports big bend and on the way home I felt every crack on the road and the tires were very noisy. I checked my air pressure and the tires were all set at 43 PSI. Is this normal for snow tires?
That's right, the guys at the dealership said it's because of the eight-speed trany and because it is so free-wheeling it will coast and pick up speed. Good for the gas mileage and bad if there is a cop waiting for you at the bottom of the hill with his radar on.

As far as I know, It will be the front brake pads I just checked the rear rims and there is excessive dust there also. And they are also talking about the brake vacuum booster failing. Whether or not they are going to replace that I am not sure.
Just did the finger test, lots of dust and I just washed it 4 days ago. The dealer said they are starting to get parts now and will call me when they are in.
As a licenced automotive technician, I wouldn't own anything Dodge builds. At the end of the day, I want to go home and be with the family not go back to the shop to make repairs on my own vehicle.
I have the Ford brand of flares and have to take them off for the winter because the flare on the rear doors fills up inside with sand and salt. Are there any brands that will fit tighter to the door so this does not happen?
