Had my Bronco into the dealer about a year ago to replace the washer pump. Now, with no signs of leaking washer fluid under the vehicle, the fluid keeps “disappearing” and I get a ”LOW WASHER FLUID ALARM.” One of you Ford Service Managers posted the procedure to access the washer fluid...

Driving on a relatively decent dirt road where you can go 25 to 30 MPH consistently, I’m guessing your normal MPG, if not better. Crawling along at 2 MPH on a really bad road, 10MPG or less. I went into Toroweep Overlook about 2 months ago. 3000 ft straight down to the Colorado River. 62...

Any chance you have a swimming pool and store chlorine or muratic acid anywhere near your vehicle. Muratic acid (even in a capped bottle) will exacerbate rusting/corrosion.

Just got home from a super camping trip, Southern Utah, the Arizona Strip and the White Mountain Apache Reservation (AZ). Miles and miles on dirt and washboarrrrrrrrrdddddy roads. Bronco did well. Got up as high as 11,000 ft. Washed the exterior yesterday and blew out (w/compressed air) and...

Happened to me. The rear glass sat open in the West Texas sun for several hours. When I finally closed it, it exploded as if someone had shot it. The gunshot theory was not possible due to the extremely remote location where it happened. Cost me $2200 at the Ford dealer (the assembly was in...

As noted by @BroncocnorB above, the Behr Blazing Bonfire is a really good match. I would also be pretty sure you could lift the Bronco completely off the ground (hanging) using only one of the rear recovery loops.

Excellent!! Thank you all, so far, for sharing your experiences.

A standard nut, does not come close to your 1.5 x día ”standard” thread engagement. What do you do in that case? As an ME, I have never done a thread engagement analysis. I’m sure you can find them on the internet. I have always heard “three full turns” of engagement will provide the full...

Hail damage? Where? The hood? How bad?

My tire deflation system is way too cumbersome. Time for something new. I believe many of you are using screw on type deflators. I would appreciate it if those of you who are using these type of deflators could give me your opinions and accuracies and brands of what you are using. .

As Ducatil1098 indicated it comes with bolts and the two studs for the brake line clips. Black oxide. Thread engagement was not an issue even using the original gasket.

OK Test 2: Letting the car sit with the doors open (actual conditions) for +15 minutes (so it completely powers down). Test 2 result: I got the ”No Key Detected” diagnostic. You are correct. Perhaps the steering wheel was turned blocking the “No Key Detected” indication.

OK Test 1: With out the key fob, I’m getting the “No Key Detected” Indication when trying to start the car. Test 2: Letting the car sit with the doors open (actual conditions) for +15 minutes (so it completely powers down). Test in progress….

Thanks as usual. `I’m going to check it out this morning. I’m pretty sure there was no response from the vehicle since if I had gotten a “No Key Detected” warning, my ass would not have puckered up so much! Being out in the wilderness alone with only a satellite communicator, these “events“...

I know there is probably more than a few threads about this topic…. I was out in the wilderness of Southern Utah (camping, I sleep in the Bronco), and was going to start the vehicle for the first time that morning. NOTHING……OH OH….Try again. NOTHING…..OK, recheck foot on the brake and make...

To evaluate properly, how much do you value your time (at an hourly rate)?

Headlight fans???? That’s a first for me.

Ahhh, yes! The little oil catch pan on the Expedition, with razor sharp edges. What a pain that was…. The 2.7 has the filter on top, easy to get to, and if you open it slowly, you don’t get oil everywhere. Obviously a design error!

Mine held ”exactly” 2 quarts. Manual indicates 63.6 ounces (or something close to that. I find that the “two hole” covers make it much easier (and less messy) to fill. Fill hose in the top hole, plug in hand ready for the bottom hole.
