  1. Aftermarket transmission and/or engine cooler?

    Doing a lot of towing, especially in mountainous or hilly terrain. I think the Badlands has an oil cooler standard.
  2. 100,000 miles, needed new alternator and spark plugs

    Still doesn't justify a $400 spark plug change. Shouldn't take a good service tech more than 30 minutes to do this.
  3. POSSIBLE SSM 50743 PARK CABLE RELEASE ISSUE

    If it returns, I'll will take it to the dealer. I have the extended warranty so not sure if I'll have to pay the $50 deductible or if the SSM is covered. At least I know what the issue is if they try to give me the run around.
  4. POSSIBLE SSM 50743 PARK CABLE RELEASE ISSUE

    A quick update. I drove my BL about 15 miles today and so far, the buzzing noise is gone. My experiment with pulling the park release cable has worked. If anyone is in the situation with the high pitch buzzing noise, it's most likely the park release cable causing it. Try doing this to see if...
  5. POSSIBLE SSM 50743 PARK CABLE RELEASE ISSUE

    Thanks for the info. I will be using this if It needs to be replaced. This just started after 21k miles. I tried a little troubleshooting this morning. I went thru the procedure of pulling the cable to disengage Park and then restoring it too normal. Only drove it for a mile or so but I'm sure...

  7. POSSIBLE SSM 50743 PARK CABLE RELEASE ISSUE

    I may have this issue on my 2021 BL. I see Ford has 2 SSM's regarding the manual park cable release problem. SSM 50743 & SSM 51184. I can't really see any difference in the two. This just started a couple weeks ago. It's a high pitch buzzing sound, not constant, more noticeable at lower...
  8. Testing out the Bronco Sport at the Dunes

    Well that brings back memories in my sand rail at Dumont & Glamis. That's an impressive climb and no paddle tires needed. ?
  9. Bidding Farewell to my Bronco Sport

    I think that I'm on that list myself.
  10. Sport In Yellowstone

    Done that road a few times. Yellowstone, Tetons and the surrounding area are at the top of my list. Did my 7th visit to the area in 2023.
  11. Bidding Farewell to my Bronco Sport

    Mark, not sure if the quality will ever recover. Some brands are better than others, not sure who's at the top now, but with these vehicles getting more complicated, just more issues to go wrong with compromised parts. We sure don't get what we pay for. The automotive side is bad, but the RV...

  13. Something to ponder

  14. Official: Scout EV Pickup & SUV debut w/ Gas Range Extender, 4x4, BOF, Lockers, Sway Bar Disconnect -- All Specs, Wallpapers, Video

    I had a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel. Great size and was capable of towing my 23 ft. travel trailer easily. Think it was 189" and fit in my garage, which is a must have for me.
  15. Official: Scout EV Pickup & SUV debut w/ Gas Range Extender, 4x4, BOF, Lockers, Sway Bar Disconnect -- All Specs, Wallpapers, Video

    Length is 208" or 230" for the pickup. Looks good but almost 3 feet longer than the Sport.
  16. Made appointment, took BS to dealership, found out I only scheduled to drop off vehicle

    I can say that my local Ford dealership, Gosch Ford in Temecula has been pretty decent. I have owned 3 Escapes and now my BL. I have the Premium Care extended warranty with the 1st day rental option and the enhanced rental option. Well worth the $90 cost. The dealer use to have on site rentals...
  17. Ford Bronco Sport Windshield Replacement and Articles

    Both my original and replacement windshield, both Ford parts, say made in Mexico. Maybe the new one says made in Mexico because the replacement company here in SoCal got it from a warehouse locally. Obviously we are closer Mexico than Tenn. Other local's may get one made in Tenn.
  18. That's one way to break it in

    With all that weight hanging off the back you are lightening up weight on the front suspension so steering will feel light, and handling will change for sure. With the Bronco's short length and wheelbase, it's even more pronounced.
  19. Ford Bronco Sport Windshield Replacement and Articles

    Replaced my windshield, 2021 BL. Had the cables on the old windshield but they were not hooked up. New windshield ordered by Vin # and did not come with the cables. As Dude says Vin specific and if built during the pandemic any combo is possible.
  20. Considering a Second Sport

    Get a BL for yourself and pass on to him the BB. You'll like the 2.0L
