No. Our Broncos do not have an electric water pump. Try again.
Ok, I’ll try again. Never said they did. Coolant continues to flow after engine shutdown. A pump isn’t necessary.
Ok sparky you do you.
I follow the decades-old Mack Trucks instructions.PSA
I’ve read many times about letting your turbo “idle down”. I assumed this meant not to turn off your engine immediately. Let it idle for a few seconds before turning it off.
Nope. I experienced it today, and feel a bit stupid.
If you wait about 45 to 60 seconds after stopping and putting it in park, the engine noise changes. Your RPMs don’t, but you can hear the engine “idle down”.
Very important for the life of your turbos…….or so I heard.
Eh, I don’t really have faith in this, because it cut off once at a stoplight after I had been ON IT and I ended up cursing at it, and myself for forgetting to push the goddamn button.
Someone else shared the info. Post number 4 in this thread. Cool it, Turbo.
Did you even read my post before commenting on it? I basically said in extreme circumstances would be the only reason to leave it idle for a little bit before shutting down. I don’t think you understand how Turbo chargers work. You know they spin 100,000+ RPM and get glowing red about to melt?. one guy with a Subaru said that the water boils away and freshwater comes in. I’m gonna take that as maybe in a Subaru maybe in a bronco I don’t know. What is your problem? Do you also have a problem with me believing that we should only run full synthetic oil in turbo cars also? You’ll probably trade your car before it gets over 100,000 miles. I’m gonna keep mine forever. I will maintain it how I like and that will obviously be maintained better than yours..
I was simply pointing to the info that quotes someone from Ford explaining what I mentioned. I also made a joke using word play, since you resorted to name-calling for whatever reason. All good, I’ll stop quoting you now.
Biggest problem is, to this day, habitually waiting for the glow plugs on start up .... haven't had a diesel since 2017-ish. Lol!!!
to show off to the sick crowds at your local cars n coffee bro!!
no but they do have electric auxiliary coolant pumps.. which is what I was talking about.
It's the internet Bro', that's how we roll.I never thought this thread would get contentious. I just thought I’d catch some shade for not understanding my engine.
I’m stupid and naive
