  1. RDU replacement leads to another trip to the dealer

    Finally getting around to posting this. It took over 8 months of back-and-forth between 2 dealers and at last, last week we got the grinding RDU replaced. I asked the rep. if we had also gotten the updated vent hose and they stated that we got the latest and greatest of everything, so yeah...
  2. Squeaky Rear Brakes

    We have learned to just put up with it, sadly. Ford has NO answer and most likely never will.
  3. Poor quality steering knuckle?

    Pretty typical for Ford. Even my 2001 Escape's front seat mounts looked like that. Will not be an issue for the life of the vehicle, it just looks nasty and kinda takes away the 'warm and fuzzy' of your new ride.
  4. Loud screeching and burn smell

    Possible shredding/slipping accessary drive belt due to faulty water pump leaking coolant onto said belt. Check your coolant tank level. Either way, a trip to the dealer seems in order.
  5. Failed water pump

    Yeah, the belt on ours was shredded on edge in a few places. The service advisor showed it to me and said I should get it replaced. I told him it should be on Ford's dime, since it was a factory part that caused the damage. He said it was a wear item and Ford would not pay. I raised a bit of...

    We used to call that, "Three Days of the Condor".

    So, the title was a Bumble?
  8. REAR BRAKE PADS

    Although I do not agree with some of his greasing procedures, this guy gives a pretty good rundown of replacing the rears.

    I would have bought THIS Pathfinder!

    Dude, you ain't getting, you are. LOL!!!!
  12. What is your favorite cruising song?

    Incredible Album and Duo. I have at least 20 of their tunes in rotation on all of my media playing devices. Back in the day it was my pleasure to turn a few of my "Hey man, I only listen to AC/DC" (no knock on them, like their stuff and saw 'em in '78) friends onto The Dan. One, in particular...
  13. What is your favorite cruising song?

    1977 Z/28 (I know, those were actually duds) A cassette player that I can no longer remember the brand of playing a TDK tape recorded from an album played on a Zenith Allegro Wedge (1st run) to a Sony cassette deck. Radio Shack 5-Band EQ/Amp @ about 12W/Ch. Jensen Duo-Cone 6x9s in the back. No...
  14. Bronco sport two door+manual

    HA! My first solo driving was in my Dad's '66 Blue Beetle in '72. Started grabbing it while he was not looking and buzzing our street. Did manage to clear out a ditch or three.
  15. Bronco sport two door+manual

    We have the look, now just need the tranny.
  16. Oil question

    If it meets Ford spec. WSS-M2C960-A1 you are 100% good. Edit: Did a quick dive and it appears that you are, in fact, good to go.
  17. Wheel torque spec fps

    M12 x 1.5 are the diameter and thread pitch of the studs. The nuts are 19mm.
  18. Water Pump (1.5L) Replaced/Pending

    Ours has been replaced once. Yours?
  19. Trans Failure 59k miles

    With ya, SmokeShowJoe. I don't normally tell peeps, but with my Wife unit driving only 12 miles total on a work day, not minding to sit in line at drive-thrus for 30 minutes or more, it's a freaking 1.5L with a TURBO, the fact that Ford specs over 5 qts and then over 6 quarts of oil for a...
