Its called the Magnum Shield Pre-Filter, https://afepower.com/afe-power-28-10113-magnum-shield-pre-filters

Easy install, there one long threaded bolt that's a mild pain to remove. Other than that a 15-20 minute job. I bought the pre-screen that goes over the filter, helps keeping leaves and bugs off the filter. It'll look good in place of the OEM Box.

It's more than getting exceptional fuel economy, it's more of hobby. And a Prius, not my cup of tea. I didn't buy my BS for milage, just the opposite. I liked the retro look with the tech, I'm a life long Ford guy too so it was time to gift myself with a new car. The big surprise was it turned...

I drive 80 mile R/T to work, my OB turned out to be a surprising econobox considering it was never engineered for milage. After just over 45K my longterm average is now 34.1 mpg. Confirmed by hand calcs and adjusting the fuel bias settings every 10K. That is accomplished by doing the speed...

Houston you have a problem. It might be drivable but you better not drive it very far from the dealer. I had a complete replacement of my RDU and drivers side axle at 40K. The dealer threw in the updated vent hose too. Altogether it totaled 4k, that included a rental for almost two weeks. I paid...

Southern Florida here. My 45000 mile average is a very consistant 34 mpg. Highway only mpg varies between 44 and 48, depends on the wind direction. I do the speed limit (55-60) whatever that might be for a 80 mile R/T to work, use 93 octane fuel from either Chevron or Costco, eco mode, and...

I own a 21 OB with a 1.5. I don't have the cooler that the 2.0 have. I do however have a very convenient drain plug on my PTU. You might want to confirm that yours doesn't have this. If not for about $10 you can buy a suction pump on Amazon and do it yourself. Add a $20 bottle of gear oil and 1...

Changing tire size will alter your speedometer reading and alter your mpg reading. Not a real big deal but some owners seemed surprised this happens, especially when the mpg seems to drop off the cliff. Not all is as bad as it seems as you can adjust your fuel bias setting using "Engineering...

My first car was also a 62 Galaxy. I barn find my grandma bought for me in 1976, cost, $200. It was a real gem as I remember. It had a 390 Thunderbird engine, C4 trans, 2-door, bench seats, Robins Egg Blue. It still had the plastic on the rear seat from the factory. Loved that car, for a 16 year...

I had a friend that dispised the newly installed traffic cams installed a few years ago. Her refusal to acknowledge that they were just as legal as having a traffic cop pull you over was tested one day. She received a ticket and a fine in the mail a few months later, with the photo clearly...

Your post needs more context concerning your MPG. There are so many varibles that need to be addressed. Is your commute through the city or is it highway or a combination. When you say you drive easy that can be somewhat subjective. Do you use Cruise Control as much as possible, do you drive the...

I had my RDU replaced under the Powertrain Warranty a few months ago. It started to shudder at around 25K, at 40K it was to the point that I didn't think I would make it to work. I duplicated the shudder with a Ford dealer mechanic sitting next to me and he agreed it needed replaced. the whole...

Good article, thanks for that

Could be either or, not sure.

Since I posted that I researched the rattle in depth and became more versed in the subject. I narrowed the sound to more of a rattle than flutter. I started running 93 octane and used the low gear button on the gear selector when my speed was under 15mph. The trans was staying in 3rd gear so I...

Fortunately I had my RDU replaced under warranty. I will be doing a drain and fill on my new one every 20k or so. A $40 bottle of 75W oil is cheap insurance for the long term. The shudder you have is what myself and many others have had. There is a post where a another BS owner had the same out...

That is probably the best assumption. Any vehicle can benefit by a more compressed maintenance schedule if you plan on keeping it for the long term. Ford says the trans fluid is good for 150000 miles. This is more or less the "lifetime" of a vehicle if using Fords metrics. This number is...

I presented my own data which is indicative of millions of others who perform regular maintenace both on personal vehicles and in a professional capacity. The results show if you have ever been a regular maintenace kind of guy and track your work. Plus you cannot lump every Bronco Sport sold to...

Yes, that is another unwanted problem. If it is split and there is no vacum your brakes will take more effort to stop which is a big surprise if it happens all at once. Another over-priced dealer item that is sure to be out of stock like everything else. Good to know about it, should be a...

I'll have to defer to 45 yrs of expierience of performing maintenance on my vehicles and equipment. It's a common sense thing honestly. You can wish for your car to last 15 years and do nothing or you can perform regular maintenance and up the odds your car will run as as good as the day you...
