#135 of 231 mpg by 96xlt Jan 31, 2008 (3:50 pm)
Anyone have some advice. I have a 95 Bronco XL (125,000 miles)with a 351 consistantly gets 15 to 16 MPG. I have a 96 XLT (115,000 miles) with a 351 that will not get over 13 MPG, new irridium plugs, new wires, cap and rotor, timing is dead on, new egr. no trouble codes, starts first crank everytime. Any ideas ? Replies to this message: miesk5 (Feb 01, 2008 4:50 pm) 96xlt (Feb 05, 2008 11:27 am)

Replying to: 96xlt (Jan 31, 2008 3:50 pm) yo! I replied, but apparently the Admin here del my post ... So, maybe he'll give you info.    btw, I did write that :  believe it is mostly due to the weight difference between the XL and XLT models; XLT has pw, console, running boards, more trim with more insulation, electr. Xfer case module & motor, etc. Even though the trim panels and headliner don't seem to weigh much, it all adds up. We started with our 96 XL, bought new; & installed pw, pdl, mil/police style push bar, nerf bars, Tuffy console, etc and went from rural driving 15 mpg down to about 14.    Other than wt. check tire pressures monthly and try yo reduce cargo weight.    GL! -------------------------------------------------    adios friends!

#138 of 231 daul exhausts by driver321 Feb 04, 2008 (9:58 am)
i have a 94 Ford Bronco and i am thinking about going from factory single exhaust to a flow master dual exhaust system. thenking about having it installed by midas or meineke who i am sure will cut the pipe and not run it from the manifold. will i still get better MPG and a little extra power is what i am concerned about if it is done this way, or should i go about doing this a different way. i love my bronco and have decided to put a little money into it to help it useful life. it is the easiest truck i have ever parked or driven for that matter. i am also having trouble with the ac unit. when turn it on the truck overheats do i need a new water bottle or what should i be looking for. any help will be appreciated. thankx Replies to this message: dgiusti (Mar 05, 2008 1:28 pm)

Replying to: miesk5 (Feb 01, 2008 4:50 pm) Thanks for the info, I hadn't thought about weight difference. Still frustrating in that I have a 96 Class C Motorhome with the 460 and it actually out does the Bronco on MPG, it gets 14-15 on the road.
#142 of 231 83 ford bronco by grayhair2 Feb 07, 2008 (5:30 pm)
Hello, I have a problem, I just installed a rebuilt 302 engine, but it show to be getting hot according to the gauge in the dash, I have already replaced the temp sender unit, dash temp gauge, replace all hoses, and had the rad cleaned and vatted out. I had a 185 thermostat, and changed it to a 160, it helped. I dont really think it is over heating, because it has never has boiled over. I have checked it with a lazer temp gun, and it shows to be running at 160 degrees at the block, heads, and intake manifold. I have also check the wiring to make sure it is not grounding out anywhere. The temp needle will show below the half way mark, then after I turn on the A/C, the gauge start to go to the far right side , but still will be in the normal range. I have also ck the cooling fins to make sure the air flow is ok. The rad is a two row core rad. I could sure use some help. Thanks

#144 of 231 Bronco's brake lights aren't working, but the turn signals are..? by meaganjoy90 Feb 25, 2008 (7:48 pm)
So I have a 1990 Ford Bronco II Eddie Bauer Edition. I haven't had many problems, until last week. There was a piece of metal in the middle of the road when my dad was driving so he pulled over to get it and turned on the emergency flashers. They flashed three times and then turned off. Since then, neither the brake lights or the emergency flashers are working, but the turn signals still work. He tried replacing the brake light switch and the turn signal switch, and neither of them worked. Just today, the flashers started working, but the brake lights still do not work. So please help! My dad's too busy to get a lot of work done, and I'm a seventeen year old girl. What do I know about cars!
