How do I determine where my Coopers were made?

I just compressed them as normal. It was a relatively easy brake job, other than the Maintenance Mode snag. NOTE: There is a Tech Service Bulletin (TSB) about replacing the caliper pins and bushings. I strongly recommend doing the TSB when doing a brake job. Much easier to do it all at once...

No, no lift kit or anything. All stock equipment. I know there are questions regarding tire pressure and rotations. PSI was a bit low over the winter (at some point it triggered the alarm/warning). But I mostly keep them at 35/36psi. I normally rotate them around 10k or 15k miles.

So, is there an easy way to confirm (or rule out) the rear differential? Honestly, the rear diff makes the most sense. But with only 60k miles on it, I really didn't expect it to go bad so soon so I was not suspicious of it... And this is probably a stupid question - I don't suppose just...

LMAO. As mentioned, I am driving on the spare (sans TPMS). It can take up to 20 minutes for it to update and alarm that there is no reading from that tire!

Interesting! Ok, there is one more issue that I am having but I didn't want to include it with this thread because I didn't want it to get all confused. But you mentioned suspension (and bushings).... The additional problem: I am having all sorts of noises coming from the rear. So this past...

Ok, one part of the story I neglected to tell - what prompted me to look at the tire(s) is that I was having a lot of road noise. So I pulled the one tire off (in the photo, right rear) and it was clearly defective. Two huge flat spots on it. That is what you are seeing in the photo - the...

I've got a 2021 BS Outer Banks. It had 250 miles on it when I bought it - but technically it was sold as a Used Vehicle. This is important because the tire warranty is only for the original purchaser (it is not transferable). I was really disappointed with the original tires (I forgot...

I installed the TSB this weekend (TSB 23-2308 using part number DG9Z-2C150-C). A couple of notes: a) It did resolve my gawd awful moaning noise when backing up! b) It was easier to install than I anticipated (the guy in the video struggled with it). Pro tip: Get the rubber bushing...

My understanding on progression of the TSB is something like this: TSB 22-2326 for rear brake moan is superseded by TSB 23-2041; and TSB 23-2041 is superseded by 23-2308. So is TSB 23-2308 now superseded by something else?? I just ordered the parts kit for TSB 23-2308 (# DG9Z-2C150-C). I was...

Ok, quick update here. I need to change the REAR caliper slide pins and bushings for the Technical Service Bulletin (TSB 22-2326, it is posted elsewhere on this site). I'm thinking that as long as I'm pulling the calipers off I might as well replace the pads while I'm there (lifetime warranty...

Quick update: The warmer temps seems to have resolved my MPG issues. I got 30.5mpg and almost 450miles out of my last fill-up. <see pic> I had no idea the cold weather would affect the MPG so bad.

I have a '21 BS Outer Banks. For the TSB, When I try to order the Caliper Mount Kit - Ford (DG9Z-2C150-B) the website says the part does not fit my vehicle and to order Caliper Retainer Kit - Ford (CV6Z-2C150-A). Is there any reason why the TSB kit would not fit my '21 BS Outer Banks? This...

Two questions on the Coolant Leak issue: 1) If it's the Head Gasket causing leaks into the cylinders, am I wrong to assume that this would be covered by the 5yr / 60k Powertrain warranty? 2) My '21 OB is at 53k miles. And the coolant reservoir tank is bone dry with no noticeable leaks...

Sorry, I meant 87. I think 85 is only available in the mountains as you suggested.

I just use the recommended low grade 85.

You might be interested to know: When I was in the Air Force (a lifetime ago), the B52 (when fully loaded) needed water injection into the engines on takeoff for greater thrust. We didn't need to do that in the winter because the air was naturally more dense (and obviously, the water would...

Hi All: Thanks for the responses & feedback. Glad to know the MPG drop off is normal. I always keep an eye on my MPG as it can be an early indicator to something else going wrong. Especially interested in the comment about possibly needing new plugs. I might do that. And yes, I do need to...

The MPG on my '21 Outer Banks is starting to fall off and I don't know why... I always kept an eye on my MPG (typically around 29 - 30mpg) but I recently started a new job with a 75 mile one-way commute. Ouch, I know. 90% of the commute is highway. Southern NH to far west of Boston, so...

I've been to Ryden's many times - even had my Bronco there once or twice!
