Early Bronco

Oil pump belt life

Has anyone replaced their “wet ” oil pump belt yet? Mileage? Cost ?

HAs anyone put more than 100,000 miles on original belt?

Chip in Windshield

We’ve only had the Bronco since August and it only has 3000 miles on it. Now it has a chip in the windshield. A pickup going the other direction got us this morning.

I remember when chips were rare, but they seem all too common today. Both my F150 and Bronco have chips in the windshield and we’ve replaced the windshield in Mrs. T’s Cherokee. I hope the chip doesn’t turn into a crack.

P0096 Ambient Air Sensor

Anyone ever had this code? Dealer is saying it’s $800 just to diagnose. I was thinking about changing the sensor myself first. TIA

Pre-Collision Alert?

This was a first for me. We were driving on a two lane semi-rural highway at 60 mph when I got a pre-collision alert on the instrument cluster and an urgent sounding chime.

There were a couple cars coming the other direction and one car waiting to enter the highway from a road on my right. None of them were a threat to cause a collision.

It happened far enough in advance that I could have avoided any collision that was imminent so that’s reassuring.

The warning was a large red box with…

EDIT: Rhino Rack screwed up! Apparently when they designed and fit this, it was on a base model without a moonroof. See the below attached email.

I won’t be touching Rhino Rack ever again, after this. The website, instructions, customer support, and return process has all been a terrible experience.

On top of it they’re also still keeping $114 of my refund for “shipping”.
