There is a difference between over-voltage protection and transients. Transients typically occur within a broad frequency range. Whatever this passive device is supposed to do, it might be able to dump to ground some nearby RF noise, like the old LC noise suppressors CBer's and hams have been...
>> I have a magnetic and placed it about 3 inches to the side of the factory radio antenna. I
I would move the mag mount CB antenna away from the factory radio antenna, because, - when transmitting on the CB antenna - you'll be coupling a lot of RF into your Bronco Sport AM/FM radio. This can...
I was able to install my 2M/440 and GMRS radios by using mini coax (ie LMR24) and routing the coax through the door seals, under carpet and plastic covers. I mounted the antennas on the roof rack, in the back of the vehicle, through the top of the tailgate. You can buy little adhesive-backed...
I remember, years ago, my local Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep salesman telling me that the shiny new Viper in the showroom floor will have a short lifespan. He related to me that the average person that purchased it had no idea of the limits of the vehicle and how to drive the thing on public roads. He...
This is great! I use M-18s and M-12s for everything here. I can't find anything like this on Etsy or EBay. I no longer have a 3-D printer. Have you considered selling these, or tell me where I can purchase them?
Just took delivery. I'm VERY impressed with the new full-sized Bronco. No squeaks or rattles. Fit and finish overall seem better than the Bronco Sport. Quickly got used to the clutch. Everything feels much tighter, intuitive and more refined than the Wrangler. It's a head-turner too.
I really like my Bronco Sport Big Bend. I understand its limitations, and appreciate all the things it does right. I do have intermittent problems (like the driver-side door not unlocking, notices on the screen of the vehicle being in sleep mode and other weirdities.) I don't like the furry...
I made the mistake of buying the Rival front skid plate for my 2024 Bronco Sport Big Bend (1.5L). It did not go on easily. Though the product is well-constructed, the installation instructions are very poor, and I must have missed an important disclaimer on the related page on their web site...
Excellent choice! Ford is bringing back the base Bronco, with a manual transmission and 2-door by default for 2025. Amazingly, the Sasquatch package will be available for it also. Gotta admit, that's on the radar here.
I hope the little Bronco takes care of you. Yours is EXACTLY like mine, except I dumped those Continental tires in favor of Falcen Wildpeak 235/65R17 AT3 tires. I guarantee you'll like it even more; the difference is astonishing. Those "all-season" Continental ProContact tires have very, very...
On thing came to mind: I believe (but may be wrong) that there is a clutch control unit near the center of any Bronco Sport that is responsible for sending power to the rear wheels, which is on all the time. In the Big Bend and Outer Banks, this device is air-cooled. In the Badlands, I think...
So the rumors are true. Dang. But you still can get them while there still is inventory, at good prices. You're right - the AT4Ws appear to be heavy for the little Bronco Sport.
I can confirm that the OEM Continental ProContacts have extremely weak sidewalls. They did well in the rain, but the tread design and depth looks like it would be awful in snow. After replacing the Continentals with Falken Wildpeak AT3W s, the difference was amazing. I'm certain you'll find...
How does Apple control Ford's decision to install PostPass on forked, degoogled Android devices via GooglePlay only? I've never owned an iPhone (and never will).
Yes. Imagine for instance the old Chevelle SS. If we still have one, we would possess every bit of it. All the aftermarket parts available for you to keep it on the road are there because you own and control the vehicle. It's actually silly to think any part on your old Chevelle SS - which...
Let's put it this way: we can still be friends :)
Another thought: Your bank doesn't want your account to be cleaned out any more than you do. It does take steps (or should) to protect your data and your money, in accordance with the laws that govern it. Now, if there IS a data breach (which...
Something I've learned in my 35 years in Information Technology is that customers try really, really try hard to justify their position, which is generally rooted in "user experience" and "convenience". All manufacturers, including Ford, certainly know this.
Correction: the Internet does not...
