1987 Ford Bronco II need parts by 1repair_joe
Jun 02, 2009 (9:31 pm)

I have a Ford Bronco II Eddie Bauer Edition that a friend gave me. I need to have it smogged but cannot get it passed due to a missing hose. I do not see where the hose should connect to stop the escape. Does anyone have a similar truck that you can help me find the solution to my problem. I would rather do it myself and save some money on it. Just to have the diagonistic it will cost another $100. Maybe some one out there can give me some info. Thanks,

2006 Tacoma by kwing

At 90,000 miles my 2006 Toyota Tacoma (Extended Cab, 4WD, 6 cy, auto, TRD) came up with the following problems:
 
1 & 2) air bag light went on - a coil under the air bag broke and oil pressure sensor wire/harness needed to be replaced because the wire broke ($680 to fix - already done).
3) compass/temp stopped working ($289 to fix - it's not getting fixed).
4) oil leak - timing chain cover needs to be resealed ($1400 to fix - going in today)
 
Those are the bad things, but they are the first problems and my front brakes lasted 85,000 miles and my rear ones have not needed to be replaced. I went through brakes every 30,000 to 40,000 on my last truck, which was a Ford Ranger.

Regarding the compass/temp problem, you can fix it yourself if you know how to solder. There's only one screw holding the whole unit in place. Push it toward the front of the truck and then pull down to get it out. There are two cable groups that unplug and and then get the circuit board out. Resolder the two resistors marked "510" and you're back in business. If the compass needs to be reset there is TSB available that shows to do it. Google the TSB.

2006 Tacoma engine knocking by choppedntubbed

I have a 2006 4 door Sport V-6. I have had it since new, and it currently has 45,000 miles on it. I just started noticing (or it just started happening) a noise that sounds like a spark plug knock. It occurs when you accelerate between 40 and 50 mph. It is similar to the sound I used to hear with the old GM V8s. It is a knocking and pinging sound. Since day 1, I have used unleaded regular. If any one could give me any insight or perspective on what to do, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

2005 Manual Tacoma Parking Brake won't release by tjyoder

We have a 2005 toyota and about a year into it the parking brake started locking up. It typically happened at the lake when pulling our boat in or out. As it got worse the only way to release it was to jack up the truck and remove the tire off the side stuck and bang on the drum - released quite easily with a few taps. We took it into Toyota on warranty and they said nothing was wrong.
 
It just locked up on Sunday - and when trying to move with a boat on the back (not always convenient to take a tire off) - the back differential went. Now they have an e brake and rear differential to fix - thank god for extended warranties.

Apparently there is a major recall of multiple Toyota models regarding floor mats on the driver's side that can interfere with the accelerator and cause a crash. It includes the 2005-2010 Tacoma and 2007-2010 Toyota Tundra. Now ya know!
