  1. On this episode of, "Is this noise normal?"...

    I have no knowledge of how this cable works but I'll give my 2 cents. Start your BS (maybe even put it in neutral, chock your wheels), will that give some slack to that cable?
  2. Favorite Color poll

    I was all over the board when the Bronco was announced. Picked A51, come time to order a 2021 I chose Cyber Orange. Got pushed to 2022 and re-ordered in Eruption Green. I don't expect to see it until 2023 so I'll probably need to re-order. We'll see what colors are offered. I needed a...
  3. Oil catch can

    I honestly didn't know the BS had an oil separator, until it came up in a recall notice. This was after I installed the JLT. It was my assumption that the separator drained back into the pan which makes sense. I'll continue to run with the JLT, I don't think it'll hurt anything, as long as I...
  4. What did you do TO your Bronco Sport today?

    Those are pretty nice looking! Where'd you get them may I ask?
  5. Oil catch can

    I did this, JLT 3.0... Actually, Ford already has an oil separator on the 1.5L. In the second pic, coming off the left side of the JLT can, follow that hose to where it connects (2 green tabs), that container is Ford's oil separator. So we're getting double protection right, ;). Ford's oil...
  6. who has the bfg ko2 245/65/17 on their BS BIG BEND with out lift kit just stock

    Not BFG KO2's but... Link to thread here, post #10, best pics I have. Falken Wildpeak AT3W 245/65/17, all stock, no lift, no spacers, no mods, no rubbing, lock to lock. Never been off road so I can't speak to articulation...
  7. Falken or bfg ko2’s

    Yes quite a few out here have went to 245's/65/17. I did a little research and found that this size did not cause any rubbing, even turning at full lock, at all. I do not have a lift, all stock suspension. Though, I have not taken if 'off-road', so I can't speak to rubbing during...
  8. Bronco Sport Oil Separator Recall 1.5 L engine

    I wondered this also, having 2 separators in line. I can only guess at how the Ford separator works, catching oil/condensation, and re-routing it back to the oil pan? The add on separator (JLT in my case) catches it and I dump it out. I do not know of the construction of the Ford separator...
  9. Falken or bfg ko2’s

    I am yes. Should have I upgraded?
  10. BS Badlands with Hardshell RTT & Hitchgate Solo Tire Carrier

    Nice rig, looks great! I see you're in AZ, I hope to get out there in a few months, want to pick up a RTT from Desert Armor in Glendale.
  11. RECALL on oil separator

    Yea I was thinking, I can't see the bottom or the halves connection points. Don't think I'll remove it to find out at this point. No visible oil leak so I best leave it.
  12. RECALL on oil separator

    I kind of inspected mine, no leaks or cracks. Bolts holding it in are snug, not overtightened. I don't know what I'm really looking for though.
  13. Bronco Sport 1.5 Liter Recall!

    Two recalls on my Fordpass: 1) Brakes, 2) Oil Separator
  14. Ford Bronco Sport and Escape recalled for fire risk

  15. RECALL on oil separator

    So where does one look for cracks/leaking oil, would it be noticeable?
  16. Bronco Sport Oil Separator Recall 1.5 L engine

    I thought the 1.5L was direct injection only. Regarding the add-on catch can, mine is collecting fluid, thus that much less getting to the valves, even though the port injection is cleaning them.... Thinking about this a bit more, my catch can is catching the fluid before it gets to fords oil...
  17. Bronco Sport Oil Separator Recall 1.5 L engine

    I believe it's on the right side (from drivers seat point of view). So seems it's the one he talks about at 2:33. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong. I added a catch can, so am I getting double the "protection". My can is about half full every 1,000 miles. I change oil about every 3500 miles.
  18. Unofficial MPG thread for the 1.5L

    I thought the larger tires were a mpg issue too, but others with larger tires were still getting good mpg. And mine is starting to go up. I have noticed though if I'm going into a headwind, that will really knock down mpg. I'm sure once I put on a roof top tent I can forget about mpg.
  19. Hood Deflector Options

    I went with the AVS because of the low profile. I didn't quite get it centered, off by a couple millimeters. Stuck on there pretty good, it's not coming off. Wonder what will happen to the paint if I ever pull it off. Here in MN during warmer winter days I go to the self serve car wash to...
  20. Unofficial MPG thread for the 1.5L

    I've been keeping an eye on my mpg since I got my Big Bend last Sept. I put 245/65/17 tires on the first day. I'm in MN, dang cold in the winter. I run 89-93 octane. During those warmer months I was getting about 27-28 manually calculated. I could never get the dash display into the 30's...
