  1. Drive belt tearing

    On pic the pulley seems damaged but it actually wasnā€™t. Pic is blurry but I went back to triple check on that but the loose threads from belt were simply making the pulley seem damaged on pic.
  2. Drive belt tearing

    It was indeed water pump failure which also caused the v-band to start tearing. Vehicle spent a week in service and got back today. Not too bad considering I thought the water pump backorder would have me waiting several weeks. Possible, Ford reps from these forums helped speed up process but...
  3. Drive belt tearing

    Itā€™s gotten noisier like hamsters on a wheel but itā€™s still going. Coolant has gone down again after refill last week. I may drop it off at service Tuesday or Wednesday before I get stranded somewhere.
  4. Updated-Water pump locked and ETA for part is end of January beginning of February!!!!!!

    Possible, I may have similar issue. Since, it will take so long to replace part did they provide a loaner?
  5. Drive belt tearing

    It was fresh lubricant sprayed to calm the squeaky noise. I should take to dealer asap but itā€™s only vehicle I have at the moment. Tried to purchase a 2nd vehicle but out of 20 inquiries only got 2 responses.
  6. Drive belt tearing

    Could be the issue, I do recall faint smell of burnt from left side while hood was still closed.
  7. Drive belt tearing

    Have been hearing squeaking from drive belt or pulleys so had to check under hood. Commented on coolant having to be filled for 2nd time that Iā€™ve noticed but also noticed drive belt seems to be tearing. I sprayed a little lube to calm down squeaks for the time being. Anyone else had the same...
  8. Failed water pump

    I wonder if Ive had that issue for awhile now. Before oil change I notice coolant tank was low and service filled to correct level then I checked today and itā€™s below minimum level line again. I donā€™t notice any leaks though. Anyone know which coolant it is, Iā€™d like to know before going to...
  9. Hate to admit it, but I cashed in

    Good for you! Iā€™ve thought about it as well but slim choices in my area for a replacement that I prefer not to get screwed on the replacement.
  10. Trip Report: Bronco Sport in the Deep Soft Sands of Lost Highway 87 (SE TX)

    I did that stretch in gen 2 Raptor last year with ease but definitely need to air down especially with all the debris one might go over. I tried to do the floating campsite at sea rim but failed. Itā€™s a 2 mile canoe/kayak trip each way and with all the camping gear I had it would have required...
  11. Bronco Sport Badlands @ Imogene Pass in Colorado Rockies

    Thanks for posting! Been waiting for bronco sport to confirm Imogene pass and black bear. Why didnā€˜t you continue onto steps/switchbacks? Was it lack of confidence on personal skills, bronco sport abilities/ground clearance or both? My own concern is if bronco sport has enough articulation for...
  12. 1.5l Bronco Sport in the sand?

    Ordered mine from tire rack and had Pep Boys install them. I went with black lettering showing and white letters turned inside. No, lift kit on mine just standard height. Thought, about lifting but since I have bigger bronco on order Iā€™ll use that for higher clearance off roading...
  13. 1.5l Bronco Sport in the sand?

    No issues driving over deep soft sand on TX coast. Had the continentals at stock psi but have upgraded to KO2 tires since then. I thought it performed better than gen 2 Raptor in the same sand environment. My guess was the lighter weight of the BS easily cut thru that sand.
  14. WeatherTech Front Floor Mats Installed

    Didnā€™t realize I covered the accelerator pedal when I installed the weather techs. When I turned on a few hours later the rpmā€™s went crazy cause the weather techs had the pedal to the floor. Silly mistake but dangerous.
  15. Off Road - Goose Lake Trail, Red River, NM

    I have that size KO2 on Big Bend with stock ride height and have not had any rubbing issues. I constantly have to go off road for work with inclines and side degrees with no issues yet. Loaded cargo area with 900lbs today which brought the rear down but not rubbing during transportation. PSI...
