TSB 25-2437 fixed my issue.

Great! glad all went well for you. Happy Trails, Quick Silver Messenger Service.

Yep, in my old school way of thinking the clutches, if they have them, are taking a beating while placing the tranny in gear at high idles. If I had my way I would sell this BS and buy me a 70's Bronco Sport. Wish I would have never sold that one!!!

I did with no change. Today went back to the dealer and started a 2025 BSBL on the sales lot. no change from my ride. Yesterday i spoke to service and was told the issues i have with my BS is, " normal." Guess i will have to get used to it. Wish i had the nerve to disconnect the battery and wait...

Dealer said it is normal. Asked if I could start up one of their BSBL on the lot. Found to be no different than mine!

They said it is normal and i confirmed this with another identical BS on the sales lot.

Dealer states the idle issues are "normal". So i asked for keys to a BS with the 2.0 and it operates the same as mine. I am done with this issue and will be driving it like any other vehicle regardless of the rpm. Thanks for everyones input.

Wouldn't you know Anderson Ford States it's normal. I'm starting to dislike this ride. Have owned Fords all my life now feel jilted.

Thanks for the tip, checked battery and its at 14.7. Forum member,"Dude", said i could try disconnecting the neg. battery cable and wait for a period of time before reconnecting. Kind of afraid to do that at this point. Will contact dealer tomorrow.

Yes sir.

Ok thats it ! Going to Anderson ford, afraid to disconnect the battery.

Thanks for your reply.

So your motor actually idles down before you shift it into gear to take off ?

No That's what I have been doing. The tranny does not jerk when placed into gear at the 1500 RPM. I am too old to wait 2.5 minutes for warm up. Discovered I have a stop watch on my phone, how about that. These dang smart phones are way smarter than I.

I live in Arizona, 81 today. Been this way since new with very hot summer.

Sorry my mistake on the time frame actually idles for two and a half minutes still too long for me though.

The 2.0 motor on my 25 BSBL idles at 1500 RPM upon starting and does not kick down untill after about 5 min. It does this all day long and it is not even cold out. Is this normal ? Have not gone to the dealer yet want to see what I can find out on the forum first.

Good question, i wonder if the service person removed suspension parts that later required the alignment. I will try to find out. Glad to hear things went well. Read repair report from my dealer and it states during the test drive after the replacement parts a noticeable pull to the right so...
