    Wabbits? Where? Which way did they go?
  2. 2024 BS water pump leak

    I agree with you Tom. Just a thought that if the coolant passages had sand, then perhaps the "engine block bath" was not good enough for all "cracks and crevesses" as is said, but you are correct.
  3. 2024 BS water pump leak

    36K on my 22 BS Big Bend when the pump started to leak and had to be replaced. Now for the reason, if it were "sand" I would expect other internal pumps to fail as well as the Valves, Rings, Lifters and ect. Next sand would "scar" the Cylinder walls and the engine would seep oil and smoke in...
  4. Strange issues

    I don't know if this is right or wrong, but here it goes. Make sure you hook up the cables according to the owners manual, meaning in the right order. Place the Hot cable on the battery first, then hook up the Ground cable. Once completed, follow the Battery Management steps in the manual...
  5. More upgrades

    I have sent you a Private Message regarding your install. Thanks
  6. 2025 1.5L Underhood

    That will make a "Battery Change" an easy job, Hell you can see the Hold Down Bolt in the photo. Maybe someone realized that most batteries are change outside of a Ford Service Department. LOL
  7. Just another $6k transmission replacement...

    Complaining to FORD is a waste of time. I did that, they then simply passed it to the local Dealer who told me to "NEVER" come back for anything again. He said they had a sign that said they could "Refuse Service to Anyone" and he didn't need the DRAMA. By the way my BS had about 5K on it...
  8. Oil Changes and Recalls

    Just thought I would give you my tip. My son is a pilot and works on some things, but he is "above" an oil filter. He flies Up and Down the East coast for his regular run with his base in DC. Lives in Minneapolis and commutes. Rough life. LOL Good luck.
  9. Oil Changes and Recalls

    Mark S., if you want a simple way to keep the oil filter from running down to your arm pit and don't want to "hammer" a hole in it, then simply use a "ZIP LOCK BAG", a One Quart size works. Open the bag, slide it up over the filter and finish twisting off the filter. I have even used a filter...
  10. Antifreeze leak, not Water pump

    Most leaks from coolant come from Pressure forcing it out. You need to have a test run on the coolant system. Doing this as a DIY is somewhat risking. You would get the engine HOT and then look for a "stream of mist" in the area you already suspect. It must be HOT to create the pressure that...
  11. Battery Replacement

    The "reset" of the battery is simply telling the Computer how to charge and handle the NEW battery. Being new, it may not need charged as much as your old battery did. Look in the Owners Manual and be sure you do this. It is simple and takes about 10 minutes if you do it right. You can do it.
  12. Ford extended warranty

    I bought through Granger Ford as well and only pay $2100 with zero inerest for 24 months for the 5 year/100K. I am in New Mexico, but saved almost 2K by going to Granger. Good Luck
  13. CB radio coax cable routing

    I have placed mine on the rear roof for best reception. I have a magnetic and placed it about 3 inches to the side of the factory radio antenna. I then routed the coax to the rear hatch and followed it to the bottom corner. Using colored Duct Tape to secure it in the channel to that corner...
  14. Arizona SOLD: 2024 Satin Black BAP 18" Wheels w/ Caps and Michelin Primacy 225/60 R18 Tires $900

    Looking for where you are. Your profile shows Green Valley, south of Tucson, but your one post says you are up North near Vegas or Kingman. I am in New Mexico so south would be a good place to pick up. lol Where are you and the current price for all five tires and wheels. Thanks. You can...
  15. 2022 makes noise in reverse. Loud sound when hitting breaks going in reverse??? I have a 2022 Bronco Sport and mine also makes a loud brake noise when

    Great. I hope it is a cure for you. In 1970 I worked for Ford and the T-Bird was the first with standard Disc Brakes. Well they would squeel if the car sat in the drive overnight after a drive home in light snow. Light melting snow caused more sand to be sent around the rotors, so when the...
  16. 2022 makes noise in reverse. Loud sound when hitting breaks going in reverse??? I have a 2022 Bronco Sport and mine also makes a loud brake noise when

    Don't know where you live, but try going to a large empty parking lot. Put the BS in reverse get going fairly fast and SLAM the brakes 2 or 3 times to clean off the light sand and dust glazing. That will stop the squeal for several months until they need cleaned again. Like me you may drive...
  17. South Dakota 1.5L Engine cover & all mounting hardware

    Have you sold this? If not, I am VERY interested, as in if it is complete, I will take it. Let me know'
  18. Any BS’s out there that haven’t had any issues??

    35K on mine and the only problem is the Servicing Dealer. Told me not to come back, as they don't want nor need my service. Oh, that is because I asked for an "appointment" to LEAVE my car for service. They told me "first come, first served". I am handicapped/disabled and so is my wife. It is...
  19. Replaced brake lights with LED bulbs. Now getting hyperflash / fast blinking lights

    You can not replace a "filiment" bulb with a LED lamp. They are different voltage and risitance. You actually could void your warranty by doing so. Read your owner's manual and replace it with the same bulb that FORD used. Your computer control mod relies on the resistance to make sure all...
  20. Animal vandalism

    I had a '67 Pontiac GTO when I came back from Viet Nam and Korea. Now that was a GOAT for sure. LOL Is there a chance it is a scrape from something? If you look at my letters in the photo, they are 2.5 years old and no loss yet. Good Luck.
