I mentioned no politics, lol. Only stating FACTS.

Truth! I wasn't very aware of everything that happened. I caught the tail end of it all

I heard he was tring to drive in the middle of the road but he kept swerving extreme left

That's good to hear that things are holding up well with the charger! I have every intention to do this after the bumper to bumper warranty is up! How many miles have you put on with the charger? Man 4.56 gears AND the charger?! I bet that truck feels like a sports car!

Since October probably 6,000 miles. I drive a lot of mountain roads and when there is opportunity to pass a transport truck it‘s so nice to just accelerate quickly without hanging in the opposite lane! I really like the v6 with the SC!

You never sell. The value simply justifies EVERYTHING

Brilliance!

I had my clutch replaced on the first recall. I'm not too concerned about going in for this one.

Before they tested it, did you realize it was slipping?

Nope, I had & felt no indication of an issue. After the replacement, the clutch engagement did "feel" more solid, but not much of a noticeable difference. But a free clutch is not a bad deal & I do feel better about it all down there.

But after you rake it in selling your MT Jeep, what do buy then?

Bronco is making me consider going that route, seems they have their manual figured out

Yeah, I see those on the road everywhere. They must be great!

If this is sarcasm, well played and I salute you. If your serious.... well.... (palms forehead)

Im probably not being too serious, as I very much enjoy my glad, but it does seem like Ford might have a winner with their manual trans

I'm sure Jeep thought they had their manual figured out before they actually produced it, as well.

BTW, Ford hasn't exactly had a glowing history with their transmissions ...

The 7-speed Getrag manual in the Bronco does sound good, but You can only get it with the 4 cylinder 2.3 eco boost, not the 6 cylinder 2.7 eco boost. The bigger engine is quite a bit more powerful, and has a much better reliability record. And Ford will wonder why there aren’t that many manual sales. They will say “See - people don’t want manual transmissions.” We all know manual sales are way down, but part of that is due to manufacturers not providing sticks in the more powerful trims. (Yeah, I know, a bigger factor is most people don’t want to drive a manual.)

You know what is funny about that is you can get a manual Hellcat Challenger. The only FCA engines mated to a manual now (at least that I'm aware of) are the 3.6 and the 6.2. There is nothing in between. You'd think a medium duty transmission would exist for the 5.7/6.4 but nope. You either get a NA V6 or the 700hp V8. The 2.7 with a manual would be the way to go. People who get a 2.7 Bronco are going to be very pleased its a good engine that can make some good power.
