Q: i own a 1970 Ford Bronco. How do i take my damn fr. brake rotor off?

A: First remove the hub cover, 6 allen head screws, inside is a gear pack held in by a “c” spring clip . Need special tool to remove. After that is a hub nut, washer and another nut, which also takes a special tool to remove. Once removed, put one nut on loosely and yank the rotor and hub off, which removes the bearings and seal. Good luck.

Q: I have a 1978 ford Bronco with a 1970 429. What should i use as far as parts for a full tune-up ?
Plugs,wires everything. I want more torque then speed !

A: A good tune up with everything and some tweaking of the carburetor,
to include setting up your total timing of the motor will get you the
most performance out of your 429 cid.

Q: How well do early (1970’s) Ford Bronco’s run? Any common problems?
I’m thinking of buying one (I love the way they look) but I don’t know anything about cars. Any advice is appreciated. :)

A: It’s a very OLD car. If you know nuttin about cars you’ll have to take it to a buddy / shop to get it checked out. I have an ‘88 that looks & runs great. 351- auto.

Q: power problems with my 5.0?
i have a 1970 ford bronco with a fuel injected 5.0 in it best thing i ever did but just recently at times when i get on the gas hard it feels like it has no power like it flattens out then will just jump with power and then back to nothing at times any ideas

A: you’d need to provide more detail for a higher chance of someone being right but a few things could be:
clutch going bad, bad connection or rust somewhere, bad TPS, bad throttle body, things like that.

Q: question about truck tires…..?
i have a 1970 something (i think either its a 76 or a 79) Ford Bronco xlt and it has 4 wheel drive….id like to know what kind of mudding tires would do best on it??…..right now i have Remington Mud Brutes on it but the tread is worn out

A: For reliability and performance I would go with BF Goodrich Mud Terrains, I have never had a problem with them . They have good off road performance and wear well

Q: Do not listen to the government. Toyota recall is a hoax! Why?
I will tell you why:
It’s because the government owns GM now. They want you to buy
our vehicles. Why are people freaking out about Toyota? Of the ten
largest auto recalls of all time eight were GM vehicles. They’re trying
to scare you into purchasing GMs. Think about all of the commercials
they’re pushing. Hear one on the radio the other day “I JUST TRADED
IN MY TOYOTA FOR A CHEVY MALIBU, I FEEL SO SAFE!!!”

No. No. No. No. You couldn’t pay me to drive an American vehicle.

Ford 1987 (3.6 million vehicles): Engine-compartment fires caused
by faulty fuel-line connectors compelled Ford to issue this recall in
1987. While not the biggest in terms of vehicle numbers, this recall
may be the widest: affected vehicles included virtually every model
Ford made, including F150-350 trucks, and all Lincoln and Mercury models.

GM 2004 (3.6 million vehicles): From 1999 to 2004, tailgating took on
a new dimension for the 134 customers who suffered minor accidents from
collapsing tailgates. Corroded cables were the culprits. In 2004, GM offered
to replace the tailgate cables on Silverados, Sierras, Escalades, and Avalanches.
In their defense, it should be noted that customers are clearly warned not to
stand on open tailgates. At least 134 have not read that part of the owner’s manual.

GM 1973 (3.7 million vehicles): The ability to control where your car actually
goes is important. GM saw the truth of this in 1973 when they agreed to install
engine shields to prevent stones from disabling the steering assembly. 18 models
were affected: Centurion, Electra, Estate Wagon, LeSabre, Riviera, Belair,
Biscayne, Brookwood, Caprice, Impala, Kingswood, Kingswood Estate,
Townsmen, Olds 88 and 98, Bonneville, Grand Ville, and Catalina.

Ford 1971 (4.1 million vehicles): Seatbelt shoulder harnesses on 1970 and
‘71 Ford Rancheros, Lincolns, Mercurys, and Fords (yes, there was at one time
a Ford Ford) had an annoying tendency to fray and detach from the metal holding
it to the frame. And though few drivers were even wearing seatbelts back then,
Ford did the right thing and issued the recall.

GM 1981 (5.8 million vehicles): Some drivers learned the hard way that suspension
bolts in certain GM models had a way of wiggling themselves loose. The result? The
loss of ability to steer the car. In 1981, GM offered to replace the dubious bolts in the
Century, Regal, El Camino, Malibu, Monte Carlo, Caballero, Cutlass, Grand Prix, and
Lemans.

GM 1971 (6.7 million vehicles): In 1971, some GM customers got the ride of
their lives as engine mounts began separating from frames and falling back onto
throttles. The models with these rocket-like tendencies included Belair, Brookwood,
Camaro, Caprice, Chevrolet, Chevy II, G Series, Impala, Kingswood, Nova, P Series,
C Series, and Townsmen.

Ford 1996 (8.6 million vehicles):In 1996, after customers complained of fires caused
by faulty ignition systems, Ford Motor Co. recalled vehicles including 1998-’93 Escorts,
Mustangs, Tempos, Thunderbirds, Cougars, Crown Vics, Grand Marquis, Lincoln Town
Cars, Aerostars, Broncos, and F-series trucks

Ford 2008 (12 million vehicles) In February of 2008, Ford issued the industry’s
largest-ever recall, affecting Lincoln and Mercury SUVs, pickups, cars, and vans of
model years ‘93 to ‘04. The lowly cruise-control switch was behind this mother-of-all
do-overs. It had a nasty habit of catching fire, sometimes hours after the vehicle had
been parked and turned off. Owner response, however, has been slow, so in a rare
move Ford reissued the recall in September of 2008 for the 5 million vehicles still
unrepaired.

On top of ALL of this I bet none of you have heard of the 1.3 million Chevys just
recalled in China for failing steering wheels just YESTERDAY.

Thanks, but I’m going to be sticking to my imports.

A: You are probably right
My original thought was “since when is the federal govt involved in car recalls”
All of the auto makers have had recalls and the feds don’t get involved like they have on this one.
Our whole political system is a mess & full of corruption.
