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 powertrain warranty expires. The shuddering is not noticeable while driving in a straight line. With the Ford Tech in the passenger seat you can duplicate the shuddering so the tech can hear and feel the…

“Clean” oil changes.
If you have a shop compressor this tool might make DIY oil changes a whole lot less messy.

Of course, I finally have a vehicle I want to modify, and what I want isn’t readily available. I want to add a side ladder, and am surprised that there aren’t many options.

OBDLink MX+ won’t pair to my Android phone
But I can’t get the MX+ to pair with my Android phone.
It says I have an incorrect PIN or password.
But it never asks for a PIN or password.
I did the manual reset on the MX+ and that did not help.
Has anyone had this problem ?
And any ideas on how to get it to work.

Charging System Failure + plethora of other error codes
I recently ran into a serious safety issue with my 2021 Ford Bronco Sport Big Bend Ed. I have approximately 75k miles and I keep my vehicle maintained. As I was driving down the highway, I recieved an audible alarm and a red error message regarding my charging system failing. No sooner did I recieve that error, I recieved about a dozen other error messages regarding other key electrical systems failing. My center console immediately shut off, displaying a “power saving” message, my power…

Drivers side headlight acting wonky
My drivers side headlight DRL’s will light up but not the round headlight portion. I’ve tried turning on the headlight manually from inside, unplugging the battery for about 10 mins, checked fuses, etc. The only time I can get it to pop on for maybe 2 seconds is when I unplug the wiring harness and plug it back in(see video). Otherwise, nothing. The passengers side works perfectly fine. I thought maybe it could be the headlight module? Anyone have any ideas?

Wipers
Minor issue, but periodically when I start my Bronco the front and sometimes rear wiper will swipe one time. It’s very random. I’ve looked at the Courtesy Wipe feature and it is something different. This feature gives you one extra wipe after you have activated the windshield washer fluid to clean your windows. I’m at a total loss. Any thoughts?

2025 Fender Tie Down Retrofit Diagrams
You can see in the assembly there’s the plain old fender badge that clips in, and one…
Eagerly looking forward to seeing if the 2025 side fender tie downs can be retrofit onto the first gen sports. Looking at the parts listing for the 2025’s, it looks like the tie down is a support braket that pokes through the fender, bolted through what looks like the door hinge? If anyone’s been able to see a 2025 in person, I’d love to get these suspicions confirmed.
