A tip for anyone that needs to bleed a Slave Cylinder.........
Bleed from the bottom up. I tried everything the conventional way to bleed top down on the Slave on my 87 Chevy Squarebody- putting brake fluid in at the top, letting it bleed at the bottom- pumping the clutch, even using a vacuum...
Test drive it and really check it out for everything. Listen for strange noises. Check under the hood and go underneath and check for leaks. Then make a decision.
Sorry, I forgot to grab a picture. I'll try to get underneath it the next few days. In the meantime, I used duct work material that I cut with tin snips, manually formed it by hand, then drilled mounting holes in it to mount it to existing fasteners already there. I started with a piece of...
Oh good as I am not a fan of EV's. Will ride my pedal bicycle first LOL. That Blazer if they made a base one with a 5.3 V8 and it was priced reasonably like 38K I would be interested. The 5.3 is such a simple engine compared to the Bronco 2.3 or 2.7. And with a V8 you can add dual exhaust...
I'd be concerned about a spare tire bike rack- adding too much weight to the spare tire. The spare tire is so heavy to begin with. I went with a hitch rack. I already had a hitch bike rack and just installed the receiver hitch, it was like $100 and 15 minute install. I had to get a bitch...
The market is not like it was. While Broncos are not really advertised you should still be able to get one under MSRP. If not, shop around.
I wish the values and prices were still up there as if I trade my Bronco I won't do as good now.
If you want to keep the bumper you can buy receiver hitch square tubing and have someone custom fabricate you a hitch to bolt or weld on. Some plate steel will also be needed. There is where knowing how to weld comes in handy. If you can't have this done you are SOL and will have to go back to...
So far I have not had any more noise issues after the driveshaft swap and the heat shield install. I do not know whether it is the new driveshaft or the heatshield or both. The service manager did say something about the grease hardening in the boot and sticking to the boot causing the noise so...
65 here, I bought my base Sas 2 years ago and it was the most I ever paid for a vehicle. My intention was to keep to forever too although the maintenance and replacement cost for parts is atrocious. I don't know if I can afford to keep it in retirement and I don't have a payment. I do all of...
Values whether wholesale or retail fluctuate depending on the market. I think Bronco is down- I just saw a 2022 Base Sasquatch 2 door with manual transmission with only 775 miles sell for only 35K on BAT.
Ya a nice small V8 would be nice but don't do what the Wrangler did with the 392 and make it over 100K in price. That is unaffordable for most. Prices are too high for most people as it is and combine that with low MPG and the Bronco will attract only a specific buyer looking for that type of...
Do any of you have a base bare bones 2 door with manual transmission with the stock wheels and tires that you can share MPG? I once saw a post of someone getting 30 or 31 MPG. I thought about getting one as my daily commuter.
The Bronco is great, I love my 2022 but I'm also approaching retirement. I worry about the Bronco's complex drivetrain, engine, computer system, sensors and outrageous prices for replacement parts. Granted the Gladiator may be the same but I think it is simpler with non turbo engine and that...
I'll chime in and can definitely help the Op. Been there many times with brand new and used vehicles and even after an alignment has been performed. Very frustrating. Steering wheel is off center. On a rare occasion the alignment is off and most of the time it is just the steering wheel that...
Depends on a lot of factors- how you drive, weather, AC on or off, the speeds you drive, how flat the roads are, etc. Also a factor is how heavy your Bronco is, 2 door, 4 door, etc. Larger than stock tires will kill MPG unless you change the gearing. The main factor is how you drive. I drive...
Wow, what a story! Glad you are OK and got your Bronco back. And the crazy nutball that caused this. Lock him up for a long time......it's crazy when you think of how many crazed people are out there these days......
