Ford Bronco XLT

The 2011 four-wheel drive vehicles varied widely in engine size depending on the make and model. For example, popular models like the Ford F-150 offered options ranging from a 3.7-liter V6 to a 5.0-liter V8 engine. Meanwhile, the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 had engine options including a 4.3-liter V6, a 4.8-liter V8, and a 5.3-liter V8. Always check the specific model for accurate engine size details.

The point of a rubber (or any other kind of) freeze plug is that whatever the plug in in is not SUPPOSED to freeze and the freeze plug is a last-ditch effort to protect the inside of whatever the plug is in (a car engine I assume?) from the damage caused as the liquid expands as it freezes. The plug is the last line of desperate defense from abuse; you need to take precautions (like filling your radiator with antifreeze) that will PREVENT the ice from forming. 5/5/2009: I decided to install a rubber freeze plug in my vehicle. According to the directions on the back of the package, the washer that sits behind the nut, should be almost flush with the engine block. The nut should be turned 2-3 complete turns for the plug to properly seat.

yes, checking all the grounds is first, and even running an extra ground here and there is ok...but consider... The window relay or motors went bad, the sending unit in the tanks is no good, and you need some bulbs...:) dave

That means that the air smells enough for you to actually smell iy and it kinda gets u hungry

Do not attempt to reuse a freeze plug. They are pressed in to make a tight seal and will not seal properly if reused.

Try using logic!

1. Take out the spark plugs/injectors. Try and crank the engine over. Does it turn over? If it doesn't then try again with the lights on. Do the lights dim to nothing when cracking? If yes, then your battery is dead - Replace.
2. If the lights don't dim then your starter is not getting juice. Does your starter solenoid click? If not then the fault is in your ignition circuit from the battery to the solenoid, Check the ignition fuse and wiring.
3. If the solenoid is clicking. Then the fault is in the main power from the battery to the starter motor. Add a light bulb to the power connection on the starter motor, check to see if power is getting to the starter motor, if yes then the fault is in your starter motor, It could be jammed or misaligned. If not then the fault is in the solenoid or power cable to the starter.
4. If this is all correct then try the same logic to the fuel system. Start from the tank and work forward to the cylinder. Is fuel getting to the pump? Is fuel getting to the filter? Is fuel getting to the Carb/Injectors. Check for air locks all along the system.
5. If all else fails, check your timing and other issues using the same logic.

first pull off the line going to it and if it has fluid in it change the modulator. Next, take the modulator off and apply vacuum to the line and stick a screw driver in the end of the modulator and see if the diaphragm moves the valve inside. If the valve doesn't move, replace the modualtor.

- i am assuming ford but also you can pull the vac.line off of carb.or wherever it draws the vacume from without getting under car and check for fluid at that point

Consider getting yourself a service manual as it contains many troubleshooting for your car. Comes very handy sometimes.

a Bad Gauge, the reostat on the sending unit, a bad ground at the sending unit are the first thoughts that come to mind. Pukenstein@aol.com I don't follow how the battery is relavant as stated below. check the battery aslo...

Yes, all wheels run on wheel bearings.

The noise could be a worn or damaged bearing, rust on the brake drum or disk, sticking parking brake, or under-inflated tires. Many garages will do a free brake inspection and they should show you and explain the problem they find if any.

Axles have ball bearings pressed on them and grease would be leaking from them if bad. Shocks can be noisy if you have unusual tire wear, cupping. Loose U-joint can be checked if you have the knick knick sound. Of course a dry axle housing causes a lot of noise and broke teeth can stop you from moving. If you suspect it pull inspection cover and see if there is a lot of loose metal pieces in the grease. It isn't unusual to break a gear tooth in the axle. Especially if you heavy trailer a lot.

The popular answer is to bring your VIN# and proof of ownership to the dealer and they can make you a key. Unfortunately, this is not the case. GM does not keep key code records for vehicles over 10 years old, so in the case of the 1998, they cannot help. The only solutions are:

(1) - Call a locksmith and prepare to pay. Most start at $120 for this service, but they usually charge more.

(2) - Replace the key cyllinder. You can get a replacement at a parts store, with new keys. The problem is, if you don't have the old key, you will have to disassemble the steering column and remove the steering wheel to do this. If you have an air bag, this could cause the airbag to deploy and cost you about $3000 to replace. This makes option (1) above not seem so expensive after all.

Are you sure the battery has enough juice (13.5volts)? Is the engine locked up? Try turning the motor by hand. If the engine is not seized, take the starter off and bench test it. Recheck your negative battery cable, a very good chance your problem lies there.

The same thing happened to my 1995 full size bronco today. I took the battery cables off cleaned each one, and still the same problem. I replaced the starter, solenoid, finally noticed my ground wire from my intake to the fire wall was charred. So I checked my lower battery cable connections and my ground was not connected. I replaced my firewall ground and replaced my battery ground wire and all my problems were solved. Even my dash readings were fixed, I always had crazy readings on my dash (temp, oil pressure and amp gauge) all were fixed with the installation of my new ground wires.

Evil spirits have been known to smell like Calatheas. Calatheas are exotic flowers found in the tropical Americas. There is no proven reason that evil spirits smell like this. But many people have reported and proven to smell Calatheas flowers when using ouija board or other methods of bringing demons.

Pop the horn button off. Under that is the larger nut that holds the wheel in place. Afte that is removed, use a steering wheel puller to remove the wheel.

when you start the car up that's your ignition switch is located...

Answer for the US: Breakers are rated in amps, not watts. However, a 15A breaker can handle 15 amps, or about 1800 watts (using 120V), or 3600 watts (using 240V). However, this is only rated for noncontinuous loads (those not lasting for more than three hours). For continuous loads (loads lasting three hours or more), one must derate the circuit breaker by 80%. So for continuous loads, that same breaker should only have 1440 watts (using 120V), or 2880 watts (using 240V) on it.

i had the exact same problem with our 91 voyager, i cleaned the battery terminals and the problem went away immediately

you have to remove the steering wheel. (if it has an airbag, be very careful not to set it off.) if no airbag, just remove the steering wheel, and on the ignition switch there is a bolt that simply screws out. remove the ignition switch, and replace with the new one. line up the bolt holes, and replace bolt. put steering wheel back on, and youre done.
