  2. Bronco sport badlands arrives damaged

    Our badlands had a small cuff/scrape on the rear bumper, took about 5 weeks for it to come on. If it were paint work it would have been a little harder to deal with me being as picky as I am

  4. Ford ESP: Good choice or Boondoggle?

I got a price from an out of state dealer to extend our B/S badlands with 360, badlands package etc, cost me $2100, I let our local dealer know the quote was cost plus $100 and if they wanted to make $100...
  5. On this episode of, "Is this noise normal?"...

    I According to them, this happens on late model F-150s with 10-speed autos and is expected. In the other 'noise' thread, @Midgiesbronco also said it sounded like the transmission pump. Well I have a 2018 F150 with a 10 speed and it makes no such noises. When they replaced the transmission in...
  6. extended uphill + downshift

    Within 100 miles from picking up I go to my special "break in" mountain in CT. Start from the bottom, several WOT pulls going up, then engine braking going down. It does wonders for setting rings and ya get that smell at the top from anything burning off that needs to burn off. It's a 3 mile run...

  8. Dull Black Trim

  10. Pics of Bronco Sport undercarriage, shielding and oil filter on wife's badlands

    Next time I put it on the lift, probably next week I'll take more detailed pics and see. I just did a quick LOF and grabbed my phone for a few pics for anyone that was interested in seeing the undercarriage of a BS Badlands
  11. Pics of Bronco Sport undercarriage, shielding and oil filter on wife's badlands

    I used the pinch welds for the factory jack, generally they work best unless you have a sub frame or full frame. That's the frame for my 70 Olds I'm restoring above the lift. The attic has steel beams so I used to block and tackles and hung it there. I can lift any veh. with the exception of say...
  12. Pics of Bronco Sport undercarriage, shielding and oil filter on wife's badlands

    The plate removed is the engine skid plate and I would say it's 12 gauge steel. I would guess it weighs at least 20lbs so more than for just show
  13. Pics of Bronco Sport undercarriage, shielding and oil filter on wife's badlands

    That is the frame for my 1970 Olds that I'm restoring. Body is in the next bay and I wanted to store the frame indoors and got one of my crazy thoughts and hung it from the ceiling. There is a steel beam in the garage attic and can lift any vehicle besides a van to full height and it's out of...

  16. Oil Separator for Ecoboost

    The reason for one is simple, most modern engines use "direct injection" No fuel coming into contact with your intake valve, with port or carb, the valve gets cleaned by gasoline. That being said your still dumping PCV vapor etc in your intake and they can greatly increase carbon build-up on...

  18. Trade in

    Got our best deal from the Ford dealer. Traded at 2017 Mazda CX3, fwd only but a grand touring with 72K. Dealer gave us $12,800, it's on their lot for 16K. Carmax was the second best at 11K, most other dealers ranged from 9-10K. Our dealer used KBG, not NADA and it was in perfect shape, no...
  19. Is the BS 1.5L EcoBoost the same 1.5L that have had coolant leak issues?

    It has a belt for sure. One of the reasons we opted for the 2.0. I'll take my chances that they addressed the block/headgasket design flaw over that belt. Still got Ford Protect for 8/125
