    Totally getting one 2021 Bronco

    Not really a fan. I think they focused too much on competing with Jeep instead of coming up with an original design. I don't think this pays homage to the first gen. To me it looks like an fj cruiser mated with a land Rover. I also think it's an insult to call it a full size when it's built on a...

    What happened to choice in America

    This is why when my 99 expy finally rusted out (but still running strong 4.6L at 236k) I upgraded to an 82 Bronco... My truck runs on 2 vacuum lines and 8 wires and never lets me down with that beautiful 5.8L 351 Windsor & Edelbrock carb. I loved my expy but anything beyond 2011 just disappointing.

    What's the secret to removing the #4 coil?

    He's already asked for the whole gamut of welders, and a bigger tool box. He just needs the base for his top box. I'm gonna need a whole other garage just to accommodate the child and his toys.

    What's the secret to removing the #4 coil?

    next couple weeks I'm ordering new shocks, got new front outer tie rod ends last week and lil dude keeps busting my chops about when we're putting it all on...(after all that I realize you were likely taking to Chris and not to me adieu but i can't find any option to delete my comment)

    What's the secret to removing the #4 coil?

    Oh it'll run again... No doubt there... That kid doesn't stop until he figures it out. He'll scour YouTube for do it yourself videos and if they fail he asks what FB friends i have that are gear heads (dirt bike and auto). We actually tapped one last week when he was having a leaky carb issue...

    Transmission slipping in first but...

    Figured out the source of the missing tranny fluid... The tranny cooler line was pretty much perforated (multiple small holes in a few different sections), which was why there was never really a big puddle. Figured this out after my rear window looked like someone sprayed it with WD40 after a...

    Detached Window Clips

    What's the secret to removing the #4 coil?

    My 12 yr old would accept that challenge. Would be a nice change of pace from tearing apart his dirt bike.

    Interior lights staying on

    I had a problem with my interior light staying on, sprayed in the door latch, really well with WD40, and it took care of the problem both times this happened. Make sure u do both front doors, or all 4, u never know which might be sticking, but do them one at a time to see if u can pinpoint the...

    1997 5.4 Expedition bad misfire...HELP PLEASE!!

    Just curious Chris, but why do you think timing chain? Because of the marble noise or the codes? Honestly curious here, not trying to be an ass or anything, just wanna pick ur brain. For the op...I had a similar issue with my 99 expy... sputtering, loss of power, engine was "loping" (personally...

    Not starting, not the battery.

    If you're still having a problem...I had this problem with my 99 expy. Turned out wires under the truck had rusted and broken. After hubby tied them back together, started right up. He said "It was a rotten ring terminal in the red wire to the starter. Yes we still had battery...everything...

    Transmission slipping in first but...

    Apparently the difference is mercon v is partially synthetic whereas regular mercon is not synthetic at all. Synthetics have some advantages in terms of temperture stabilitity and longevity but that's about it. Apparently you can get an additive to add to the transfer case to add synthetics to...

    Transmission slipping in first but...

    The manual says mercon atf. The carton of ATF says suitable for use in Ford and GM vehicles where a dexronIII/mercon ATF is recommended, but then the dipstick days mercon v on it what's the difference? This is what I was told to get

    O2 sensor upstream or downstream

    So after replacing the egr valve last week and clearing the codes I still have rough idle and the check engine light came on again. Stopped at advanced to have the codes read and came back with p0401 exhaust gas flow insufficient, p1131 lack of heated O2 sensor bank 1 sensor 1, switch indicator...

    Transmission slipping in first but...

    Think I've got the trans issue figured out... They hold 15 ish quarts, i was really really low. Added a quart of Lucas transmission fix and almost 6 quarts of fluid and it's now actually registering on the stick when checked at hot idle. There is a little leak. Parked in a different place to see...

    Transmission slipping in first but...

    That's kind of a bitch isn't it? Is that where you suspect the tranny fluid might be going? Am i checking the rear transfer or the front or both? Never had to check a front transfer, how u do that?

    Nothing pink or obvious in the radiator overflow to indicate transmission fluid.

    Transmission slipping in first but...

I've put about 4 quarts of fluid in in the last week and every other day having to add another or it slips.. where the hell can 4 quarts of fluid go when there's no puddle under the truck? This is...

    New exhaust now engine idle issues

    Well, dug into the vacuum lines, found a couple cracked and one of those wonderful lil boots that go onto the egr had a sizeable hole in it. Cleaned the maf sensor and checked everything underneath (didn't really find anything cept a wiggly o2 sensor). Truck is running a ton better but not...
