    Rear Differential Unit (RDU) Replacement

    Good morning all, after one year of progressively louder shuddering I am getting my RDU replaced. It's covered under the 5/60 Powertrain Warranty. For those who are noticing a low speed (1st or 2nd gear) shuddering when turning sharply I suggest you get your BS in for a inspection before the...

    Rear End Noise

    Good morning all 21 Bronco Sport owners (22, 23 & 24 too). There has been several threads concerning noise, shudder, groan, etc. coming from the rear end. This thread is more specific. It concerns only the rear differential noise. This noise can sometimes be confused with rear brake noise which...

    MPG Challenge. Finally hit 33.8 mpg

    Good day all, after 3 months I finally broke over 33.7 and made it 33.8 mpg. This is long term mpg, 17176 miles, 672:40 hrs of driving. I never expected or even purchased my BS with mpg in mind but after making a few mods on the intake and exhaust it became clear the 1.5 was a great choice for a...

    Fuel Injector Recall

    FYI all, finally had the Fuel Injector recall issue fixed. Actually only the drain tubes installed which is somewhat not a fix but more like way to mitigate a leak if an Injector cracks and starts leaking. Honestly feel it is a sketchy way to address the problem if it really becomes a problem. I...

    One Year Review

    Hey all BS officiondos. After one year and 17464 miles I figured I'd post a review. First thing is to say is after a year I would buy another if I had too. Wasn't what I went to buy but glad I drove away in it. Living in southern Florida it wasn't like I really needed a 4 wheel drive SUV as my...

    Hypermiler Report

    I figured I'd post results of my second trip down to Key West from Miami earlier today. This trip is a perfect hypermiler trip. It was a 310 mile R/T, 90% of it is posted between 45 and 55 mph, heavily monitored with speed traps every 10 miles, and those are the ones you can see. Probably more...

    High Idle Duration

    Morning all, curious if any motorheads have the same high idle duration on their 1.5 BS as do. If I leave my engine off for 10 minutes and restart the cold start idle programming kicks in, the duration is for approx. 30 to 60 seconds at 15-1800 rpm. Not an issue if I restart under 10 minutes of...

    Dipstick QR Code

    Okay amateur sleuths out there I've got a riddle. The engine dipstick has a QR Code on it my phone cannot read. The code is probably just another code for the part number OR maybe another Easter Egg that Ford sprinkled thru-out the Bronco. If anyone manages to get a read on it let me know what...

    UPR Catch Can installed

    Just finished installing a UPR Catch Can. The excellant quality of this can is evident from first glance. Every component is made from the best material available for the application. There's plenty to choose from, some quite a bit cheaper but if you want the top of line version this is the one.

    Custom Exhaust

    Hello all BS officiendos, I took the plunge and customized the exhaust on my 1.5 OB. Short version is, it sounds surprisingly awesome! Compared to the anemic sound coming from the gargantuan OEM muffler that is. Now I know there are plenty of nay sayers thinking why waste good money on...

    2021 OB Black Beauty

    Well after reading posts on accessories and adding bling for the last 2 months I figured it was time to post my BS OB project. To start with I decided to keep the original wheels and tires. Ford did a good job on wheels and IMO the wheels are perfect for the Shadow Black scheme. Black really...
