  1. Rear Differential Unit (RDU) Fluid Change

    Interesting. I have a BB and this was not the case. That doesn't seem right, but I'm not looking at your undercarriage... I have the tow as well. I'm sure it's covered somewhere on here. Hell I youtubed mine.
  2. Rear Differential Unit (RDU) Fluid Change

    I did mine a few weeks ago after a binding sensation at low turning speed - I worried rear diff. Diff fluid looked great. I went ahead and changed the PTU fluid also - which was murky. The sound/sensation went away when I was done. So I am ASSUMING it was my PTU causing it, but can't be for...
  3. Ice cold blowing from the heater, Random over temps, coolant level fine

    Hey all - tried searching the threads...but didn't find anything similar. Yesterday I changed my PTU and rear diff fluids - no issues - and it took care of my "clunking" noise. And then...totally unrelated, I know.... This morning on the way to work, I got an overheat alarm. Shocked, I...
  4. Changing Brake Pads - Any tips

    I did not. Still haven't, and when I got my new tires, they still looked good - 63k miles.
  5. Need new tires...

    Big Bend - with the 18s. I've looked up a bunch, but curious what people have used/liked.
  6. Need new tires...

    Looking for recommendations outside the normal Falken, Toyo On-road A/T type tire. I like the beefier look of these, but as much as I drive and the frequency of tire change, is breaking my bank! I am averaging ~31k miles a year or so with interstate (windy) and highway (windy) plus some...
  7. What did you do TO your Bronco Sport today?

    It has been raining here since Monday and expected through first part of next week... It's a moot point to try at this point.
  8. What did you do TO your Bronco Sport today?

    I bought the window shields and the rock deflector for the hood. I've yet to install - she needs a good wash before I do.
  9. Rumor has it there's a TSB out for noisy brakes...

    The noise is back already. I did not change the pins and bushings. From what I hear, that could actually be the culprit.
  10. Rumor has it there's a TSB out for noisy brakes...

    Well, noise is back, so I can't recommend now. I think it just must be the material of the pad. It isn't evident unless it's wet/humid outside. Guess that will progress more over time. Sigh. I had hopes!
  11. Shutter, Stalling Feeling at Low RPM

    Mine has a shudder around 1500 RPM in the coast in town - regardless of speed it seems. Town MPH is ~25 and I notice it most when it seems to be decelerating/wanting to down shift. It hits this coast where my foot isn't on the gas, or the brake, and it has a ch ch ch ch ch shudder noise. You can...
  12. Rumor has it there's a TSB out for noisy brakes...

    I got tired of listening to it. Changed my rear pads a week ago. Have had no noise since.
  13. Question: Bronco Sport Tailgate Letters in Black?

    Top was right after I did it. Bottom is just now (she needs a bath). I personally like the dark. I found the white too much of a contrast against the dark paint.
  14. Question: Bronco Sport Tailgate Letters in Black?

    I plasti-dipped the rear ones on my KB Big Bend. Easy to do. Still holding up after a year of wear and car washes.
  15. Changing Brake Pads - Any tips

    I believe they are one in the same?
  16. Changing Brake Pads - Any tips

    I did not. They looked/felt good and were clean, no warp. The pads weren't as worn when I actually got them off. Apparently just shi++y material. Like others said, make sure to put it in maintenance mode and don't lose the little plastic caps that cover the caliper slide pins. It was a 40 or...
  17. Changing Brake Pads - Any tips

    I wish I'd done it sooner to be honest. They are quiet as a mouse. No more looks at the store when backing out of parking places. :rockon:
  18. Changing Brake Pads - Any tips

    LMAO. No biggie. I mean, my hair is in a braid and I'm holding a fish... all while forum talking about maintenancing my own car. Not saying women like me don't exist (I mean hello, here I am), but I know there are fewer of us that do those things typically. Not offended or hurt by the comment...
  19. Changing Brake Pads - Any tips

    I think that's what I had last seen and assumed it was the rear...especially since when I had my tires changed out, the guys at the shop said the rears looked a little rough. I see the NTSB bulletin/recall notice that it is indeed the front with the recall. I'll call my dealership on those I...
  20. Changing Brake Pads - Any tips

    Sure, but it's not like they're going to come knocking on my door for it. I know they're changed, so it can stay outstanding. ?‍♀️ I do most/all of my maintenance as long as it doesn't void warranties, and once it is out of warranty, it's fair game if I'm able to do it myself.
