  1. 2024 BS water pump leak

    I have a 2007 6.0 L diesel Superduty. They had problems with casting sand from the block clogging the oil cooler and the solution from Bulletproof Diesel (an aftermarket specialist for diesels) was to put a bypass filter in the cooling system. It wasn't hard to do, and I haven't had any...
  2. Spare Tire Foam Tray uses.

    I flipped my 225 spare and found a suitable bolt to hold it down. I cut up a foam gym floor tile to fit into the spare, and there's room for a complete socket set, and a few other things. All the foam is out of mine, and I store a shortened Hi-Lift jack, Lift-Mate, jumper cables, axe, tow...
  3. 1yr BL 2.0 report

    If you go to Moab, and you fish, spend a night at Warner lake. The campground is up in the aspens, and very nice. The fishing is some of the best I've ever experienced. Deer walk by in the campground just a few yards away. The Off-Rodeo was also a blast.
  4. Alternate to Size 48 H6 Battery

    You can keep the panel on the dash, and run the wires through the firewall.
  5. Alternate to Size 48 H6 Battery

    You can put a 10 watt solar panel on a battery without a charge controller. I have a 20 watt on my Superduty with a charge controller (it has 2 batteries). It plugs into the cigarette lighter, which is always connected on my old truck, but probably isn't on the Sport. You might need to run it...
  6. Less loud offroad tires

    I believe the KO2's are a light truck tire (LT). Passenger car tires are generally more flexible and quieter. I had KO2's on my Jeep Liberty and they were great. Driving fast on gravel roads was giving me lots of flat tires with the passenger car tires it came with. Only flat I ever had...
  7. Vehicle shuddering when breaking and turning.

    I don't know how they fixed it, but it hasn't come loose since. Maybe they forgot the glue at the factory. After reading about the RDU problems, I had the fluid changed in mine and got an extended warranty.
  8. Car Camping

    I've got a roof box, but it reduces my gas mileage by about 5 mpg. The cargo rack in the back doesn't.
  9. Warning Light question

    If it doesn't work often, it is a sign that your battery isn't sufficiently charged. There was a recall on the 21-24 Sports, so we got a new AGM battery for free. If you look in the owner''s manual, it will explain the normal reasons the Auto/Stop/Start won't work.
  10. Car Camping

    I picked up a Vega for $100 and put in a rebuilt engine with steel cylinders. With rack and pinion steering and a 4 speed manual transmission, it was a blast to drive. I liked it enough to drive it for a couple of years even though I moved down to Tucson, and it did not have AC.
  11. Car Camping

    If you're going off-road, that weight limit should be cut in half. That said, I've never come close to 150 lbs. of gear on the rack. Save it for the lighter, bulky things. Hint: don't put a yeti cooler on the rack. It isn't clear that we have a police presence here in NM, and it isn't...
  12. Something to be VERY happy about...

    Changing the battery on my '22 was easy. I just took it to the dealer and got my free upgraded replacement. Easy Peasy.
  13. What Do You Carry Off-Road

    Five essentials: 1) Backup battery power- jump starter. 2) Viair air compressor with plug kit 3) Hi-Lift jack with Lift Mate (to attach to wheel) 4) Mattock - for digging out. An army shovel is almost as good, but the handle is too short. 5). Recovery Strap With thsse tools, you can solve most...
  14. Car Camping

    You can carry more if you put an ATV cargo rack in your receiver hitch. It lets you carry extra gas to supplement the ridiculously small gas tank on the Sport. And, it might even leave room for a dog.
  15. BS locking gas cap?

    I can tell you that NM dust gets past the door. As said above, the plastic cover is cheap insurance.
  16. Anyone else?

    I have a Smith's supermarket discount card that I put on the inside of the ring, so it covers the panic button. It works most of the time. I agree, the silly fob is the size of a cell phone. I tried a case, but it just made it bigger. Reminds me of when I was in school and had a case for...
  17. GMRS Handheld Recommendations?

    You didn't tell us what you want the radio for. I use Garmin Rinos for hunting. They are great because they have GPS and show the location of the person you're talking to. If you're just talking to your wife following in another vehicle, you may not need that.
  18. Rear Hatch Not Closing Fully?

    Check to make sure your hatch seals are seated correctly. Mine came out a ways and made it hard to close the hatch. Nothing wrong with slamming the hatch. I've pushed mine closed many times, but never on a flat area.
  19. Bronco Sport vs. Full Size Bronco

    I get lots of NM pin striping on my Sport, and the big Bronco is wider by 4". I took my Superduty on an elk hunt, and got some serious pin striping.
  20. Kayak/Canoe/BSBB-2022

    I made something like this to load my canoe on my truck out of some old tent poles I picked up at Saver's. I can load my canoe on my lifted Superduty by myself. 7251290775886023979
