    Bronco Sport 2.0L gets ECU flash tune by Vivid Racing ["VR Tuned ECU Flash"]

    that's a loaded question because in reality it depends on so many factors that no two answers are the same, it will heavily depend on which dealer you use, some are mod friendly and others take the corporate route of denying any claims if there is any sort of aftermarket tinkering. Anyways yes...

    Ford allowing mannequins to be sold

    Yep they added heated seats, parking sensors, wireless charger, wheels,a lift, a few badges and tacked on a ridiculous price for a base model and are trying to sell that to the average consumer. What they are offering is basically what you would get on a badlands model, don't get me wrong there...

    Headlight Issue

    I remember a few years ago when I got my first vehicle with adaptive headlights package, I went to the dealer complaining that there was something wrong with my fog lights that whenever I turned the wheel one would shut off, the service agent was very rude and condescending and just said you...

    Ford allowing mannequins to be sold

    As they say, a picture says more than 1000 words and I am sure they will sell, just not to me.

    Ford allowing mannequins to be sold

    I stopped by a local dealer to check out a BB they have in the lot which just came for sale with 64XX miles and want full MSRP plus some upgrade that they decided to do. Lets just say they have a couple of BASE broncos for north of $40kafter their "upgrades".

    Premium fuel?

    that would be what's expected on NA engine it just runs poorly, on turbo engines knock forces the engine to go lean and that is very bad for high compression, they tend to go boom. The computer is supposed to compensate by "detuning it" but it catches up to you eventually. Remember this, no...

    Any broken headlights/lenses yet?

    I don't want to jinx it but I am super surprised and awed that there aren't a plethora of complaints or issues coming up specially with this being a 1st-year 1st batch release of a totally "new" vehicle. This has been the smoothest release of a new vehicle that I have seen so far, the only real...

    Premium fuel?

    This is why I didn't want to get into what car or engine it was because someone with very little experience/knowledge of boosted engines would make an asinine comment like that, the same result has happened to the 1.3l the 1.5, the 2.3 and 2.7, a picture of the 5.2l was what I had on hand...

    Premium fuel?

    The picture that I posted is from 5.2l V8 supercharged,it was something that I had on hand and showed what "COULD" happen, what matter is that a boosted engine running lean is bad and if you create the conditions for the engine to go lean there is an extremely high chance that you will get a...

    Premium fuel?

    It was a boosted aluminum head engine, what brand it was is irrelevant since I am sure we can find a failure like this for every brand that is boosted. although the tech couldn't say that "regular" did this, he did say it definitely made things worse. there was detonation in the engine due to...

    Premium fuel?

    It is all fun a game until you hear what sounds like a stick of dynamite going off and see a rod fly by............ Premium gas is cheap insurance in turbo engine against this(picture below). PS. this does not buff out.......

    Any Complaints so far?

    Yeah the source of the audio matters the most, if streaming from your phone make sure the phone media volume is cranked up, had a friend complain about the audio of her new SUV(not a BS) and the issue was that the media volume was not even halfway.

    Installed Rough Country 1.5" Lift Kit and KO2's + Red Letters and Red Brake Calipers

    Base height in non BL+FE is 70.4" as measured at a local dealer and my clearance is 73", as I mentioned guestimates don't always translate to real world accuracy, a 1.5" lift doesn't always equate to 1.5" taller off the ground, some refer to 1.5" of suspension travel/articulation etc, too many...
