No wobble. It rides solid and silent.

Update: Tldr; the issues I reported in this thread are likely unique to my 1 of 1, ultra limited edition BS. After almost 1000 miles, I haven't had any noises since swapping over to the OEM links. I also heard back from HRG (a while ago, I was just too lazy to post an update on that here)...

That's interesting. My stock Badlands config was 2202. Do the relearn procedures complete successfully or do they fail? Sometimes I have to do a successful AWD module relearn a couple times to get rid of the error codes. What codes are you getting?

Agreed. The important part of the splice linked above, for those that aren't aware, is the hot melt glue in the heat shrink (not explicitly stated in the product description, but shown in the photos). The hot melt is what provides an environmental seal.

BL with B&O speakers here and I also hear the fake engine noise clear as day. I would appreciate being able to set my default to eco because it's one of the first things I do every time I drive. Occasionally I forget to switch but I realize it before I make it to my first stop sign. The...

This, and manufacturing lines are designed to be highly efficient (or "lean"). Performing non-value-added operations, like removing squeeze out from places that won't be normally seen by consumers, is a waste of resources and complicates the flow of product down the line. Orienting the assembly...

I've thought about disabling laser alerts for the same reason. Lots of things can trip a laser detector. Your smartphone, headlights and taillights, some collision monitoring and adaptive cruise control systems, signs, even pulses from the sun cutting through trees. Some detectors have better...

Yup. It's a Valentine One (first gen). It doesn't have BSM filtering but it does have some form of junk signal filtering. I have x-band disabled and I very rarely get alerts than I can't positively trace back to a cop. The second generation V1 does have BSM filtering, though.

Yup. I even measured the strut spacer when it came in.

Not that I'm aware of. I'd be pretty surprised if both sides were damage symmetrically. Nope, I haven't gotten a response from HRG yet. The interference is slight. Just enough to carve paint off but not enough to displace metal. The OEM links are shallower on the edges of each end, providing...

TCM isn't necessary. Just PCM and AWD.

Good suggestion, though I think it'll have to be a dealership that offers FORScan services. When I first did mine, FORScan couldn't relearn the PCM. I took it to the dealer and they told me Ford doesn't let dealerships adjust tire sizes anymore. They said they also had to use FORScan, but since...

That's interesting that you have more clearance. I wonder what the difference is. Mine was scraping with the nut fully tightened, I just didn't think to take a picture until I was removing it.

Download FORScan, download an extended license, buy an OBDII cable (this one or this one), then follow these instructions. It is strongly recommended you download backups of your as built configurations for each module. I did a quick search and this video appears to explain how to do it. I...

Did you correct your tire circumference using FORScan? If you put larger tires on but your BS still thinks you have the OEM tires, your odometer will think you're traveling less distance, your indicated MPGs will drop, and your indicated speed will be less than your actual speed.

UPDATE I installed an HRG Lift on my Badlands earlier this year. I've since put about 4,000 miles on it with some light offroading here and there. About a week or so ago I developed an occasional clunk while turning. It seemed to come from the front wheel on the inside of the turn. At first it...

Yup I have. No problems.

Ah gotcha, my bad! Post edited ?

That's not true, either. Drag from downforce and cooling aren't missing. The penalty from downforce is captured in Cd. That's why F1 cars, which have track-deforming amounts of downforce but are otherwise very aerodynamic, have Cds of .7 and up (which is in the realm of school buses). The aero...

But that's not true. Turbulent air IS flowing air. Turbulence just means the pressure, velocity, and direction are rapidly changing. On a very small scale, you'll have pockets of air that may reverse direction as they tumble through the overall turbulent volume, but that overall turbulent volume...
